Belonging, A Critical Piece of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion by Carin Taylor
In her TED Talk "Belonging: A Critical Piece of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion," Carin Taylor explores the concept of belonging as a crucial element in fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. She argues that while diversity (representation) and equity (fair treatment) are important, they are not enough on their own.
For individuals to truly thrive, they need to feel a genuine sense of belonging. Taylor emphasizes that creating a sense of belonging involves more than just implementing policies; it requires cultivating an environment where people feel valued, included, and respected. She discusses the impact of belonging on employee engagement and performance and suggests that organizations should focus on building authentic connections among employees to enhance their overall experience.
By addressing these needs, companies can not only improve employee satisfaction but also drive better business outcomes, as people who feel they belong are more likely to contribute positively and stay committed to the organization.
