Belonging At Work

Belonging is a powerful and naturally fundamental motivator for human behavior. "Belonging" is the feeling among members of a group that they share common experiences, goals and challenges. It is proven that employees that experience a sense of belonging at work are more productive and engaged. Companies can encourage this connection through their workspace and settings.

Specific settings throughout the work environment can inspire people to socialize more, prompting more interaction and in turn, creating better social bonds among coworkers. Better communication and more effective information sharing strengthens the trust among teams as well.
