The primary reason people join and stay in a company or organization is not that they want to earn more money and possess a high level of status (although they enjoy both) but because they wish to belong.*

The EY Belonging Barometer study revealed that 40% of those they surveyed are feeling physically and emotionally isolated in the #workplace.

As much as 39% of respondents in the study feel the greatest sense of #belonging when their colleagues do something as simple as check in with them, both personally and professionally.*

How to increase the feeling of belonging in small steps?

Have a look at today’s comic and… check in with your colleagues!

What other expressions do can be used to foster belonging? Please share in the comments, I'd be happy to use them in my future comics 😉
