Belonging is a crucial component of creating a diverse and inclusive culture. Belonginess is all about the essence that I belong in this workplace. Having strategies, policies, structure, and culture is crucial, but it is inconsequential if the incumbent does not feel as if he/she belongs in the workplace. As a consequence, Belonginess must be a key factor in creating a thriving and inclusive workplace.
First and foremost, make DEIB a top priority from an organizational standpoint; second, educate all stakeholders on why this is significant; third, begin measuring success by defining the appropriate parameters this differ from organization to organization; fourth, conduct pulse surveys at regular intervals; and finally, keep the process and thinking agile to alter to changing circumstances and evolving situations.
It is critical for an organization to have a psychologically safe workplace in order to unleash a person’s true potential, which can only happen when a person perceives a workplace to be safe and secure. The workplace ecosystem must ensure that all employees are treated equally and respectfully regardless of religion, race, gender, belief, education, or socioeconomic standing.
It has been demonstrated that when the DEIB achieves success, it is regarded as a great place to work and becomes an organization of choice. People would want work in an environment where they are valued and respected for who they are, which has a positive impact on talent retention.
First, adaptability, and then convincing stakeholders, and thirdly aligning processes and practices, and finally creating an ecosystem, which is extremely difficult are the key challenges. To overcome these, HR leader must develop a clear strategy, identify key milestones, involve and educate stakeholders, and track progress. The initiative can also be substantiated through positive business outcomes, which has been proven.
