How to Fit In at Work. Don't. w/Belonging Expert Dr. Beth Kaplan

Your Work Friends

Belonging is the innate desire to be part of something larger than ourselves without sacrificing who we are. And we know, your sense of belonging at work is directly correlated with your engagement and satisfaction.
So, we called up our friend, Dr. Beth Kaplan to talk about belonging. She's a University of Pennsylvania researcher. A speaker. And a thought leader on the topic. We went directly to the source.
In this episode, we go deep on:

• What is belonging?
• Why does it matter in the workplace?
• Common challenges with belonging
• The small things individuals, teams and companies can do to make a BIG belonging impact
• Why workplaces of the future will need to be trauma-informed

You'll find yourself nodding along as we discuss the crucial blend of individuality and community in professional spaces. Our conversation navigates toward the trauma-informed workplace, debunking myths about resilience and exposing the systemic issues that really need fixing. Dr. Kaplan’s insights on these complex issues are nothing short of a revelation. You don't want to miss this one.
