What we do

Three ways to work with us.

Every engagement starts with the same Assessment. What changes is the audience and the format, shaped by the data and your requirements.

Why we are different

Resilience training is more effective when the causes of low resilience are identified and then targeted.

Our data-driven approach starts with the ResilienceBuilder Assessment Tool and creates a personalised report for each individual with recommendations for personal development and growth. At a team level, data insights identify common challenges, which are targeted during our customised workshops with interactive discussion, best practice and practical tools and exercises.

  1. 01 Evidence-based assessment tool, validated across five facets.
  2. 02 Personalised report for every individual with recommendations for personal development.
  3. 03 Group Level analytics to identify common challenges across teams, groups and organisations.
  4. 04 Workshops shaped by the data, not by a generic curriculum.
  5. 05 Optional certification: deliver the same model inside your own practice or L&D team.
Why resilience matters

The Protective Factor that keeps people performing when pressure rises.

Levels of stress, illness and burnout continue to rise globally, impacting performance, wellbeing and engagement. Resilience acts as a protective factor across the stress-versus-performance curve, increasing the probability of optimal performance and reducing the probability of burnout.

Data and analytics

Data is the differentiator.

The ResilienceBuilder Assessment generates two layers of data: a personalised report for each individual, and an anonymised group-level analytics report for leadership. These data insights become the signal that shapes every workshop, every coaching plan, and every intervention.

See how the data works
The ResilienceBuilder Model

Five facets of resilience.

Built on top of the Science of Resilience: four decades of published research into stress, adaptation and sustained performance. Each facet is measurable, each is independently developable, and together they predict the ability to perform under pressure and change.

The ResilienceBuilder Model: five facets around a central R
01

Mental Strength

Cognitive habits that keep people clear, focused and decisive when pressure rises.

02

Purpose

The why behind the work. People with a clear sense of purpose recover faster.

03

Physical Stamina

Sleep, recovery and energy management. The foundation most programmes skip.

04

Emotional Intelligence

Self-awareness and empathy under load. How teams behave when things go wrong.

05

Social Support

The quality of working relationships. The single biggest predictor of recovery.

How we do it

Measure. Build. Sustain.

Three stages, run as a single loop. The data from one stage shapes the next, and re-measurement closes the loop.

Step 01

Measure.

A 15-minute psychometric across five facets, with a personalised report for each individual and an anonymised team dashboard.

Step 02

Build.

Targeted, customised workshops and coaching, shaped by the assessment data, not a generic curriculum.

Step 03

Sustain.

Ongoing self-learning, refresher modules, re-measurement, and access to certified coaches inside the network.

The question every HR director is asking

How do I measure resilience in my workforce?

Use a validated psychometric to measure resilience across five facets, mental strength, purpose and motivation, physical stamina, emotional intelligence and social support, underpinned by the Science of Resilience. Measure before any intervention, build what the data says is weakest, then sustain it with ongoing materials and re-measurement.

ResilienceBuilder is a resilience development practice founded by Steve Howe. Every engagement begins with the ResilienceBuilder Assessment, a validated psychometric taught at postgraduate level on the Coventry University MBA and delivered to organisations globally.

This is sometimes called workforce resilience, workplace resilience, or resilience development. What it is not: a wellbeing survey, a mood tracker, or a generic training workshop. It is measurement first, the data tells us what to build.

Individuals own their personal data. Organisations receive aggregate, board-ready reporting. The assessment is repeatable, comparable, and designed to track and sustain outcomes over time, not to describe feelings.

Quick answers

The short version.

What is the ResilienceBuilder Assessment?

A 15-minute online psychometric that measures resilience across five facets, underpinned by the Science of Resilience. It produces an individual report for each person and an anonymised aggregate dashboard for the organisation.

How is it different from a wellbeing survey?

A wellbeing survey reports how people feel. The ResilienceBuilder Assessment measures resilience as a skill, across five independent facets, and is designed to be re-measured so change can be tracked and sustained.

How long does a programme take?

The assessment itself takes 10 to 15 minutes. A typical organisational programme runs 90 to 180 days from assessment to intervention to re-measurement, followed by ongoing self-learning materials.

Where is it delivered?

ResilienceBuilder Ltd is registered in England and Wales and works with organisations in the UK and overseas. The assessment is delivered in English and taught on the Coventry University MBA.

Who owns the individual assessment data?

The individual. Every person who takes the assessment owns their personal report. Organisations only receive anonymised aggregate reporting at team or cohort level.

Can we roll it out across a workforce?

Yes. Company-wide programmes are multi-site, multi-cohort, and assessment-led. Aggregate dashboards for HR, personal reports for individuals, and the option of targeted training and coaching informed by the data.

How does this help HR or L&D justify the investment?

The assessment produces comparable, repeatable data across cohorts and over time. That lets HR and L&D teams take a measurable baseline to the board, target interventions where the data shows weakness, and demonstrate direction of travel at 90 and 180 days.

Is there a coach certification?

Yes. Coaches, L&D leads and HR professionals can certify to deliver the ResilienceBuilder Assessment and teach the five-facet model in their own practice or workplace. The certification is CPD recognised.
