What is ‘Belonging’ really?

The need to belong is a powerful driver of behaviour. We all want to belong. We crave it. We pray for it. We even change for it. The conversation around Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DEI) has evolved to include the idea of ‘belonging’ but have we taken the time to understand what it means to belong? This session addresses what belonging is and how it drives behaviour within our organisations. Organisations can use this to understand how our organisational spaces can assist or frustrate the process of achieving more belonging for more people and offers practical tips on how to create a deeper sense of belonging for more people.
