The Emotional Journey of Inclusion: Why It Matters
Inclusion isn't just about implementing policies—it’s about understanding and managing emotions. Daily workplace interactions bring up powerful emotions, both positive and negative, which shape the culture around us. When team members feel heard, valued and respected, they thrive. However, when emotions like frustration and exclusion are left unchecked, they can lead to miscommunication, conflict, and disengagement.
Emotional intelligence plays a critical role in fostering an inclusive environment. It’s not just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of inclusivity and team success. When employees feel they belong, amazing things happen. According to the BetterUp "Value of Belonging" report, employees who feel a strong sense of belonging are 59% less likely to leave their jobs, 75% take fewer sick days and 56% see a boost in job performance. Clearly, inclusion isn’t just about improving morale—it directly impacts organizational success.
