The Science of Inclusion & Belonging

Leaders recognize the benefits that diversity brings to any community. Without inclusion and belonging, however, a diverse workplace cannot thrive. Leading researchers from Harvard, Purdue, and Duke have identified that the brain experiences exclusion in the same way that it does physical pain. Ignoring this basic, fundamental human need has widespread and damaging implications on workplace environments.

As leaders, we need to develop awareness of subtle individual and collective changes that can be made in order to maximize feelings of inclusion and belonging, and promote a workplace culture where creativity, performance, innovation, and collaboration thrive.
