Cultivating a Sense of “Belonging”

Knowledge@Wharton published a wonderful piece that addresses the issue of diversity and inclusion in today’s organizations, “Beyond Diversity: How Firms Are Cultivating a Sense of Belonging.” (Wharton, The University of Pennsylvania, May 26, 2019). https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/belonging-at-work/ 

Organizations, private AND public, are realizing that diversity and inclusion aren’t enough; what is needed today is a sense of BELONGING. With a real sense of belonging, people at all levels of an organization stay focused on the organization’s mission, goals and objectives, and achieve more.
