Belonging is an action: Reflections from a Safe Space conversation
Belonging is both a feeling and an action, a practice. It’s about being seen, heard, known, and valued. It is a collective responsibility

Belonging is a complex concept that has the potential to make a real difference in the world of work. But what does belonging at work mean?

As hybrid work reshapes organisations and political headwinds challenge traditional DEI initiatives, the concept of belonging is rising to the forefront of people strategies. But why is it so difficult to create belonging at work?

The changing context of DEI is challenging HR and DEIB leaders to focus on the fundamental principle of inclusion.

Despite the changing rhetoric around DEI, organisations remain committed to the work of equity and inclusion.

Allyship has the power to make a real difference in the work of Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB). But is it having the impact that it could?

Allyship is not easy. Effective allyship is hard, deep and personal work for leaders to do, on themselves and in their organisation.

Allyship has the potential to throw open the DEIB conundrum and create a long-term competitive advantage for employers who see the benefits of diverse talent and inclusive cultures.

Organisations need leaders who truly do allyship. Who can work with the complexity of interwoven stories, leverage power and politics and harness coalitions for change. Only then will DEIB initiatives truly hit home.
