It's the most responsible way to push performance. It supports business as a force for good, in the same way safety does.
The starting point.
Julia Lauricella leads Nestlé's Systems Technology Center, the company's global R&D hub for food and beverage systems. She engaged Resilience Institute on a clear conviction: that organisations should employ people, not just a workforce, and equip them with the tools to stay in balance.
What we did.
- Pre-diagnostic assessment to baseline resilience across the centre, individually and as a group
- Training programme covering practical resilience habits: breathing exercises, body scans, meditation, and movement at work
- Group-level reporting giving leadership visibility on team-wide strengths and gaps
What changed.
- Strong voluntary engagement in a non-mandatory programme — a signal that resonance, not obligation, drove participation
- Three new daily habits embedded across the team: breathing exercises, body scans and meditation, and standing work
- Reduced inhibition around discussing well-being topics professionally — “took away the fear to express oneself”
- Resilience reframed as a performance lever — positioned alongside safety culture as a responsible way to support business outcomes
