How to Nurture Belonging at the Workplace

For most of us, a large part of our adult lives is spent in a professional work environment, either physical or virtual. Humans as we know are social animals and have a constant urge to feel like we belong, even at work. However, this need is largely ignored by employers who still tend to believe that this will happen without any intervention and they do not have an active role to play. To better understand the importance of belonging at work, Cognizant and Microsoft partnered to gather insights from nearly 11,000 full-time workers worldwide. Tune into our three part podcast series on ‘Belonging’ that features Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner, at Microsoft, and Alan Alper, Vice President of Global Thought Leadership Programs at Cognizant, as they discuss our research findings and how we can collectively nurture belonging in the workplace.
