Recent research shows that factors relating to belonging, communication, and decision-making are found to be strong drivers of employee engagement. Employee engagement is a measure of how motivated people are to put in extra effort for their organization, and a sign of how committed they are to staying there.

A feeling of belonging at a company has the strongest relationship to engagement. This means that belonging has a high correlation to business outcomes like productivity and retention.

In this session, Alysha will walk you through:

• The factors that build a culture of belonging and their importance
• A framework of how to begin creating and shifting your workplace culture based on the principles of diversity and inclusion
• Key tools you can use to ensure data-driven decision making throughout the whole process
