Description: What does it mean to be included at work? How do we cultivate a culture of belonging? In this talk, Dr. Muragishi uses a social psychological approach to examine how our social contexts and personal experiences can raise questions about our belonging at work. He will discuss the various types of belonging cues that people look for to answer those questions and then present his current research on how to increase belonging and company commitment using microinclusions. Finally, he will provide recommendations of how to implement microinclusions within organizations.

Learning Objectives:

Basic understanding of questions of belonging

How and why microinclusions about contributions matter at work

Why “nice” and “warm” treatment is not enough to build belonging

Basic understanding of initial steps to begin to implement microinclusions
