Resilience strategies in manufacturing and mental health

In the manufacturing sector, investing in digital technology is identified as a key component of a resilience playbook. According to McKinsey, companies that adopt sharp digital programs and become tech-enabled digital natives gain a strategic advantage during periods of economic disruption, such as supply chain instability or labor shortages.

In the context of mental health, research suggests a distinction between merely functioning under stress and true well-being. The concept of weathering describes how prolonged exposure to stress can negatively impact the body, even when an individual remains productive and dependable. Experts note that adapting to difficult circumstances is not necessarily the same as flourishing.
