Why EBQ is important for L&D?
We believe that employees can create magic in the workplace when they feel accepted. Social belonging is a core human need. When people feel isolated or neglected, it can be damaging to your workplace. A healthy workplace DNA resonates with authenticity. It is a place where your employees can stay authentic and feel accepted. The results are astounding—when employees feel accepted, it leads to high job performance, intent to stay, and improved on-the-job effort.
Studies show that feeling a sense of belonging in the workplace leads to more than just good vibes and friendships. Belonging is what allows employees to feel like they can be their authentic selves without fear of different treatment or punishment—and it has a major impact on performance and retention.
Diversity and inclusion still matter, but they won’t cut it if you don’t consider belonging as part of the equation. Belonging is the crucial piece of the puzzle, leading to psychological safety and employee engagement. Supportive environments even trigger different responses in the brain, leading to better collaboration and problem solving.
But, you might not know how to actually create a culture of belonging.
