Today, human and social services leaders find themselves in unprecedented times. Workforce challenges, the never-ending increased demands, and shrinking resources require that nonprofit leaders and managers pursue new and innovative strategies for ensuring programmatic and organizational success. Join Dr Dann in this high energy and highly participatory workshop to explore proven strategies to leverage the efficacy of your team and organization. Drawing from the research on trauma-informed practice, the Resiliency Factor provides participants with concrete strategies to reduce turnover, heighten employee engagement, and help the team bounce back from extremely difficult situations. Most importantly, the Resiliency Factor provides a path to ensure the successful pursuit of your organization’s important mission.
During this interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to complete an assessment tool that will help them understand the level of resiliency as well as areas for growth that exist within their team and organization. The assessment tool also serves as a springboard for exploring strategies to leverage employees’ developmental assets and their ability to be resilient.
Participants at all levels will have the ability to apply effective strategies at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Supervisors, for example, will benefit from understanding strategies to become resilient, while managers and leaders will have the capacity to apply the conceptual frame and practical strategies from a team and or systems-based perspective.

- The conceptual frame of organizational resiliency
