Belonging is a basic psychological human need, to form and maintain strong, stable interpersonal relationships. We know that belonging in ‘real’ teams: supports our resilience, enables creativity and problem-solving, breaks down ‘them and us’ barriers, promotes engagement and commitment, encourages organisational citizenship, and all these things can support recruitment and retention.

This session offers insights into the evidence base, sharing practical tools and techniques to help establish a genuine sense of belonging to a ‘real’ team.
