Considering how your actions impact others can help build strong, respectful relationships.

Tell someone, “Thank you.” Use a person’s name when you speak to them. There doesn’t have to be some grand gesture to show people that they belong. Simply show them that you see them.

Belonging is created when we feel connect, respected, and protected. This gives us the energy to achieve together that we could not do alone.

Leaders: build protection and trust at work by showing your colleagues it’s okay to be vulnerable.

Do you have a question? Need help? Feeling a particular way about a recent incident? It’s okay to be vulnerable and share, there are likely others who feel the same way.

We all need help at times. It’s not a weakness, it’s a sign of strength to be willing to ask for it. Build protection at work by being somebody colleagues can ask for help with no judgement.

‘I don’t know.’ That can be a terrifying thing to say, but when we generate the energy of belonging with our colleagues, we build a trust that allows us to be that vulnerable.

Being in the loop makes us feel like we belong. Knowing that everyone has a sense of what’s going on can minimize distrust in disruptive times.

It is important to know the strengths of those you lead. But acknowledging those strengths helps build confidence and generates an energy of belonging that brings out the best in your team.

It can be as easy as a “Thank you” or a “Good Job”. Acknowledging others’ contributions can help generate the feeling of belonging.
