5 Ways to Boost Your Resilience at Work
Since the pace and intensity of contemporary work
culture are not likely to change, it’s more important
than ever to build resilience skills to effectively
navigate your worklife. While working as a CEO I’ve
seen over and over again that the most resilient
individuals aren’t the ones that don’t fail, but rather
the ones that fail, learn and thrive1
because of it.
Resilience is built by attitudes, behaviors and
social supports that can be adopted and cultivated
by anyone. Factors that lead to resilience include
optimism and the ability to stay balanced and manage
difficult emotions. To build resilience skills at work it’s
important to understand and manage some of the
factors that cause us to feel so stressed at work. Being
hyperconnected and responsive to work anytime,
anywhere, can be extremely onerous.
The current and rising levels of stress in the
workplace should be cause for concern, as there is
a direct and adverse relationship between negative
stress, wellness and productivity. Stress that causes us
to experience difficulty or unhealthy strain is a major
cause for concern as it directly and adversely affects
personal and business success. Here are some tips on
how to develop resilience and stay motivated:
Exercise mindfulness – Turn your attention to
mental training practices associated with mindfulness
to improve your judgment accuracy and problem
solving, job performance and cognitive flexibility.
Compartmentalize your cognitive load – Create
dedicated times in the day to do specific work-related
activities and not others.
Take detachment2 breaks – Step away from work
for even a few minutes to reset energy and attention.
Balancing work activity can promote greater energy,
mental clarity, creativity and focus.
Develop mental agility – Decenter stress: step
back, reflect, shift perspectives, create options and
choose wisely.
Cultivate compassion – Create positive work
relationships, increase cooperation and collaboration,
happiness and well-being to decrease stress.

Gabarito comentado
Tema central da questão: Interpretação textual sobre impacto do estresse no ambiente de trabalho.
O texto aborda os efeitos negativos do estresse em ambientes profissionais e destaca que, diante do ritmo intenso do trabalho contemporâneo, é fundamental desenvolver resiliência para enfrentar os desafios e manter o bem-estar.
Justificativa para a alternativa correta (A):
A alternativa A ("deve ser motivo de preocupação pela pressão gerada") é a correta porque o próprio texto afirma que os níveis crescentes de estresse no trabalho devem ser motivo de preocupação (“The current and rising levels of stress in the workplace should be cause for concern, as there is a direct and adverse relationship between negative stress, wellness and productivity”). O termo adverse relationship indica que o estresse é prejudicial à produtividade e ao bem-estar, respaldando a necessidade de preocupação mencionada na alternativa correta.
Estratégia de resolução: Observe palavras-chave como cause for concern e a relação de oposição (adverse relationship) entre estresse e produtividade. Trechos assim sinalizam críticas ao estresse, não benefícios.
Análise das alternativas incorretas:
B) Incorreta, pois a cooperação e colaboração são apontadas como formas de reduzir o estresse, não como efeitos gerados por ele.
C) Errada. O texto destaca que o estresse negativo tem efeito adverso, e não favorável, sobre bem-estar e produtividade.
D) Inadequada. Não há no texto afirmação de que o estresse impulsiona o sucesso pessoal e profissional; pelo contrário, compromete o sucesso.
E) Incorreta. O texto não associa o aumento de estresse ao aumento de competitividade nem à produtividade, mas sim ao prejuízo em ambos.
Pegadinhas e dicas:
Evite se confundir com alternativas que apresentam generalizações positivas sobre o estresse (“aumenta produtividade”, “gera competitividade”), pois o texto utiliza termos negativos ao descrever o fenômeno (“adverse”, “cause for concern”).
Sempre busque localizar, no texto, relações diretas de causa e efeito mencionadas claramente pelo autor.
Resumo teórico:
De acordo com obras como “English Reading Comprehension for Exams” e manuais de interpretação de texto, identificar o sentido global e as relações entre ideias de causa, consequência e oposição é o caminho seguro para gabaritar esse tipo de questão.
