Join us for the virtual launch event of the belonging playbook
Feeling a lack of connection, support, and purpose, people are leaving their employers in droves as part of the Great Resignation. They’re craving compassion, purpose, and just … more. An underlying theme comes back to belonging.
Although business leaders increasingly understand that belonging drives increased innovation and productivity, and many organizations are talking about it, many don’t understand belonging or how to implement strategies that enhance it and drive measurable outcomes.
What does it take to foster belonging? How can you take belonging from an elusive buzzword to tangible impact – from compliance to driving connection within your team and across your organization? Get answers to those questions and more in the new belonging playbook.
On Wednesday, June 29, 4:00–5:00 p.m. PDT, join Anaplan and EGAL for the virtual launch of the Equity Fluent Leadership Playbook for Advancing Belonging in Organizations. Grounded in research-based insights, the playbook outlines the business outcomes of belonging and provides a framework for how you can define, enhance, and measure belonging, including 16 strategic plays to foster belonging within your organization today.
Join us for the launch event to receive a free digital copy of the playbook and hear a compelling panel discussion with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I); business; and academic experts on what it takes to foster belonging at work. Learn insights from their personal belonging journeys and evidence-based strategies you can implement to further belonging.
