Every job can lead to stress. How people cope with that stress can
be influenced by many factors. The Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) employs a diverse staff that includes emergency responders,
border patrol agents, federal air marshals, and policy analysts.
These employees may be exposed to traumatic situations and
disturbing information as part of their jobs. DHS is concerned that
long-term exposure to stressors may reduce individual resilience,
negatively affect employees' well-being, and deteriorate the
department's level of operation readiness. To explore DHS workforce
resilience, the Institute of Medicine hosted two workshops in
September and November 2011. The September workshop focused on
DHS's operational and law enforcement personnel, while the November
workshop concentrated on DHS policy and program personnel with top
secret security clearances. The workshop brought together an array
of experts from various fields including resilience research,
occupation health psychology, and emergency response. Building a
Resilient Workforce: Opportunities for the Department of Homeland
Security: Workshop Summary: Defines workforce resilience and its
benefits such as increased operational readiness and long-term cost
savings for the specified population; Identifies work-related
stressors faced by DHS workers, and gaps in current services and
programs; Prioritizes key areas of concern; and Identifies
innovative and effective worker resilience programs that could
potentially serve as models for relevant components of the DHS
workforce. The report presents highlights from more than 20 hours
of presentations and discussions from the two workshops, as well as
the agendas and a complete listing of the speakers, panelists, and
planning committee members. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
