How to build and maintain resilience

For the last 45 years UniMed has taken care of hard-working New Zealanders with access to quality health care when they need it. Today, we work with more than 500 employers and care for over 140,000 members. 

New Zealanders are facing challenging times, including cost of living pressures, increasing unemployment, and uncertainty. Businesses across New Zealand will need to build resilience for their teams in the coming months.

As the trusted Health and Wellness partner of the Crusaders, we asked Head Coach Rob Penney for his top tips for building and maintaining resillient teams. His insights are as relevant to businesses throughout the country as they are to sports teams. 

Three Key Areas

Care 

Supporting each other is vital. 'You can’t go into contact without your support.' It’s the same in business. When one team member is under pressure it’s important to identify it and bring in the backing they need. 

Optimism 

Positive psychology is a respected approach to ensuring triumph over adversity. Adhering to this philosophy means the Crusaders build belief that success is coming. 

Passion 

Passion and optimism gives your team the motivation to identify opportunities and capitalise on them, and to dig in when things get tough. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each member of your team will help them come together and leverage their skills off one another.
