Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the health workforce to respond to rapidly changing circumstances that demanded agility and endurance. As we emerged from those early years of the pandemic, we saw the aftermath of fatigue and waning resilience. The support of leaders is fundamental to the success of teams, especially in times of adversity and recovery. This perspective paper shares the early learnings from a rapid implementation of leadership supports to bolster team resilience across a local public health agency in Ontario. The Team Resilience Initiative aimed to strengthen participatory leadership capacities, psychological safety and team cohesion.
