Building belonging

While there is no single definition of what a balanced team looks like, there are patterns that strongly indicate that a team is imbalanced: when a team is missing key representation (like women or people with disabilities) or when a group that is represented makes up less than 30% of the overall team. This can create a sense of isolation and lack of belonging for underrepresented people.

Belonging is a key driver of motivation, retention, and innovation. So getting this right is key to having a high performing team. But belonging doesn’t “just happen”.

Use these plays to help build a culture of belonging on your team. Creating space for everyone to feel a sense of connection with their teammates and like their voice is heard and valued will help any team perform their best.
