"On the heels of a world-wide pandemic when both individuals and organizations are dealing with economic upheaval and uncertainty, a reconsideration of the notion of resilience is both important and timely. In Resilience in Modern Day Organizations, the editors have produced such a review. The international slate of chapter authors consider the nature and effects of resilience at different levels of the organization, apply these considerations to specific occupations and occupational contexts and conclude by pointing to the implications of their review for individuals, organizations and researchers. The book will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in fostering healthy workplaces and resilience in organizations."E.
