Our Scientific Framework and Difference
Our Be Fit™ Framework
The Resilience Wheel is a visual depiction of the Be Fit™ Framework.
It is a sense making tool. The framework provides a new lens through which to view and understand mental fitness and behavioural health.
Brain Basix
What differentiates AIR’s Be Fit™ Framework is that it is grounded in science.
Resilience is not just an outcome or a capacity. Resilience is a process. It is associated with characteristic ways of seeing, thinking, feeling, and acting when under stress. The 4 cornerstones of resilience are each associated with a key competency: establishing perspective, achieving mental discipline, harnessing emotion, and engaging others.
The 16 key resilience factors are grounded on a foundation of neuroscience. This provides an evidence-based approach to health, wellness, and performance and a holistic solution to common workplace challenges.
How Do You Measure Resilience?
The Functional Resilience Question-AIR (FRQTM)
The Function Resilience Question-AIRTM is a validated 64 item assessment that measures resilience. It identifies your key resilience strengths and growth opportunities.
How is the FRQTM used?
The Functional Resilience report provides scores in global resilience, the four cornerstone scores, and each of the 16 key resilience factors.
Applications of the FRQ include:
Individual Report – Establish a starting point from which to build your mental fitness. Your resilience report provides you with deep insights regarding your psychological strengths and growth opportunities.
Team Report (WeFITTM) – Assess and determine your team’s resilience training needs. Your team report gives a profile of your team’s strengths and collective growth opportunities.
Leadership Report (LeaderFIT™) – Assess how well you strategize, realize, mobilize and engage with others.
