In my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working at companies that have had very identifiable workplace cultures. They all strived for inclusion with varying degrees of success. I only felt I truly belonged at two (one of those being my current company.) Belonging is so important, and admittedly, it’s hard to qualify. Belonging is not just creating an environment where people can be their authentic self at work. Belonging is also celebrating what makes them unique. Belonging is valuing their perspective and world view. Belonging is making everyone feel at home at your company. Belonging has been proven to encourage longer tenures, increase diversity, and strengthen individual contributions and productivity. Are you creating a culture where your employees belong?
