What are the critical steps to foster
team belonging?
Key takeaways:
Looking for ways to increase diversity is important work; but it is not enough. Instead, finding ways to activate people's awareness is essential to unlocking the power of diversity.
Diversity and Equity are tickets to play, but it is Inclusion and Belonging that unlock their power. A diverse team that does not have strong inclusion and belonging may have team members who feel isolated or excluded.
A lack of inclusion or belonging typically boils down to a lack of awareness. There are four types of awareness that could impact Inclusion and Belonging: Awareness of Self, Awareness of Others, Awareness of Situation or Context and Awareness of Future Opportunities. Activating awareness is a skill, which we can learn and teach to teams in our organisation.
