You gotta belong!

Some say you have to believe. Well, I believe in belonging.

There is no subsitute for this. Humans have helped each other survice and thrive for years. Part of our experience relies on others whether we want and realize this or not.

I have spent a lot of time studying people’s acceptance, struggle, and experiences with their work. It’s clear that people need to feel like they are a part of a strong mission.

But why?

How can this help or hurt your team?

I have 5 things to think about (and master) if you want to build a generous workplace culture that attracts top talent and loyal customers.

Have a communal week. 🫂
