“What can I do to create more belonging?” is a question that we should all be asking ourselves in a world where many workplaces are virtual, and screens are (inadequately) replacing real human connection. The loneliness epidemic has been on the rise since 2013, and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated it multifold, so it’s time that we do something about it.
During today’s episode, Mark Monchek joins us for a discussion around what a sense of belonging at work looks like, the benefits of it, and how we can all go about finding it, no matter what kind of work environment we are in. Loneliness has become a habit, and the best way to break a habit is to develop new ones.
Creating a sense of belonging all starts with forming connections with other people, and there are so many different ways that organizations can facilitate those connections, from “lunch and learns” to meditation clubs to book signing events. Tune in today to hear Mark’s take on decreasing unnecessary suffering, enhancing inclusivity within and outside of the workplace, and building relationships with people who are seemingly very different from ourselves.
