Build resilient leaders.

The R@W 7-factor model offers a research-backed framework of skills to systematically build and strengthen workplace resilience.

In today’s complex and demanding work environments, resilience is no longer just a desirable trait—it’s a critical capability. Founded by organisational psychologist Kathryn McEwen, creator of the scientifically validated R@W psychometric scale, Working With Resilience provides the world’s leading evidence-based framework for building sustainable performance and wellbeing. We empower individuals, teams, and leaders to adapt to challenges, optimise their output, and sustain success without burnout.

Learn more about our approach

The future of work is resilient.

For over a decade, Working With Resilience has been at the forefront of transforming how organisations handle pressure. We are a global consortium of practitioners and academics dedicated to one clear vision: creating work environments where people perform optimally while staying well.

Our approach is grounded in rigorous scientific research and practical, real-world application. We believe resilience is a dynamic skill that can be developed. By focusing on actionable behaviours, we help organisations move beyond temporary fixes to create a lasting culture of strength and adaptability.

  • Evidence-based: Our methods are supported by more than 120 international academic studies.
  • Practical & actionable: We provide tools that focus on everyday behaviours that can be changed.
  • Holistic approach:We align employee, leader, and team strategies for systemic, organisation-wide impact.

Introducing the Resilience at Work (R@W) Toolkit

The R@W Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of scientifically validated assessments designed to measure and build resilience across your organisation. Unlike generic wellness programmes, the R@W Toolkit provides a precise, data-driven pathway to stronger performance and improved wellbeing.

*

R@W Individual Scale

Empower employees to understand and manage their personal resilience. This scale assesses seven key areas, from 'Living Authentically' to 'Building Networks', providing a clear roadmap for personal development.

*

R@W Team Scale

Unlock your team's collective potential. This diagnostic tool assesses seven components of team resilience, such as 'Perseverance' and 'Connectedness', helping you build a cohesive, high-performing unit.

*

R@W Leader Scales

Cultivate leaders who foster resilience in others. Available as a self-rating or a 180-degree feedback tool, these scales provide leaders with critical insights into how their actions impact their team's ability to thrive.
