Creating a sense of belonging can feel tough when it isn’t already built into your company culture. Fostering belonging in the workplace means that people of all backgrounds get a seat at the table and feel heard, seen, and recognized for their contributions.
Two benefits of bringing belonging to the forefront of your culture are:
1. Belonging fosters team collaboration.
2. Allies prevent exclusion.
Creating a sense of belonging at work can make a huge difference in employee happiness, productivity, performance, and retention.
