How to Create Cultures of Belonging in the Workplace
Experiencing belonging in the workplace is essential. To create an organizational culture that is rooted in empathy, psychological safety, inclusion, trust, engagement, and innovation, all team members must feel accepted and honored for who they are. And this is what belonging in the workplace is about. To unlock this profound experience, leaders and teams must cultivate authenticity in how they work and lead.
Belonging and Authentic Leadership Programming for Your Leaders
Authentic leadership creates cultures where everyone can be who they are and experience belonging. Our tailored executive leadership training highlights the profound connection between belonging, authenticity, empathy, psychological safety, and engagement, and draws on the expertise set out in Ritu’s bestselling books We’ve Got This (a winner of multiple awards), and The Authenticity Principle.

Did You Know?
Authenticity and belonging go hand in hand.
To experience belonging, you must be able to reveal your authentic self. And when you feel safe to be your authentic self, this is when you experience the greatest belonging.
This is why authentic leadership matters. When we lead with an authentic spirit, our team members are more likely to trust us, enjoy working with us, feel more engaged and satisfied, and have greater feelings of workplace well-being and meaning.
Naturally, this leads to an even stronger sense of belonging among team members.
All of bci’s belonging and authentic leadership training can be offered virtually or in-person.
