October 25, 2022How (And Why) To Develop a Sense of Belonging in the Workplace with Mona Eshaiker, Mental Health & Diversity Advisor @ The Rise Journey
Have you ever considered belonging a skill? Probably not.
Belonging is actually the third step on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It's fundamental to our sense of happiness.
But often we don't necessarily know how to define belonging, how to create an environment where people feel like they belong, or how to ask for what you need to feel like you belong.
In this episode we talk to psychotherapist, mental health & diversity advisor Mona Eshaiker.
Here's some highlights from the conversation:
Who is Monica Shaker and how has her career evolved over time?

The importance of belonging in the workplace.

How to create a workplace culture that’s open for everyone.

Don’t assume that people know what they don’t know.

What is involved in creating a sense of belonging in the workplace?

How to create a work environment where everyone can be fully themselves.

What’s the downside when there is no belonging?

Top actionable tips for managers.

Cultural curiosity is one of the first steps to unlocking the sense of belonging.

We can’t have a conversation at all until we’re willing to admit that there is a problem.
