Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this sense of belonging. Six ways to gauge belonging at work based on research: 1) Overall sense of belonging: I feel a strong sense of belonging at my organisation 2) Welcomed: I feel warmly welcomed at in my organisation (first day, new team, new role) 3) Known: I feel known as an individual at work 4) Included: I feel included at work (can be myself, my opinions are valued, can respectfully disagree) 5) Supported: I am supported at work in achieving my personal & professional development goals 6) Connected: I feel a strong connection with peers and colleagues Download a great free toolkit ("blueprint") for building belonging: achievers.com/resources/whit… Thank you @Achievers
