How do you create a sense of belonging for ALL your team members? And I mean all of them. Regardless of race, gender, nationality, age ….
“To build a culture of belonging and reap the many benefits for employers and employees, leaders first require a clear understanding of what it means to belong at work.
Informed by existing measures and extensive research by Coqual, we developed a quantifiable definition that states we belong at work when we are:
– Seen for our unique contributions
– Connected to our coworkers
– Supported in our daily work and career development
– Proud of our organization’s values and purpose”
It may feel that you have to do so much. Too much even!
Yet just by being deliberate and taking some simple steps you can slowly and surely build some routines and practices that get you closer to connecting and creating that sense of belonging.
For all in your team.
