With increased demand and uncertainty felt by many employees across the world, resilience has become the defining trait of success. The good news is that it is a skill that employees can learn, and organisations and HR leaders have a vital role in building this skill.

 At Procter & Gamble, the focus on growth mindset and leading with empathy has set a strong foundation for employees to adapt quickly to the changes COVID-19 has brought about.

 Arundhati highlights some of these key learnings, including:

• P&G’s shift from a “universal” to a “particularistic” culture.

• Ways to prioritise the work that matters, even if it means saying no more often.

• How to support employees with wellbeing initiatives and flexible work arrangements.
