One thing remains constant in this evolving workplace: the importance of belonging. If we are being honest, fostering that sense of inclusion isn't always easy. From organizational shake-ups to market fluctuations, there's no shortage of hurdles that can leave some feeling adrift in the sea of change. And let's not forget the recent shift to hybrid work models, which has added another layer of complexity to the mix. Adam Smiley Poswolsky recently joined us on the HR Superstars Podcast to discuss these challenges. He shared that we can shape a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and included by recognizing these challenges and meeting them head-on. It's not just about paying lip service to "bringing your whole self to work" – it's about rolling up our sleeves, gaining insight, and putting in the work to make it happen. So, let's start the conversation. Smiley shares 5 things you could do to create a culture of belonging.
