As the engagement champion of your team, each leader has the awesome responsibility of setting the tone for belonging. On teams with a high sense of belonging, each team member has:
A Seat: A place and a role on the team
A Voice: The opportunity to fully participate
Belonging drives engagement, which fosters innovation, teamwork and high performance. On teams with a high sense of belonging, even when team members have different roles, everyone feels like it’s “their team,” because it is!
Every person deserves a place and a role on the team and the opportunity to fully participate.
