WHAT WE DO MATTERS: FOSTERING INCLUSION AND BELONGING IN THE WORKPLACE

Abstract

Initiatives around the world are being implemented in an effort to foster and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in universities, work environments, and beyond. Using DEI as their foundation, courses and studies have been developed which discuss the importance of employee and student engagement and belonging in these settings as well. There are small changes which leaders can implement that may lead to big impacts surrounding DEI, engagement, and belonging both for team members and for the people they serve.
