Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs arenât working for a surprising reason.
In collaboration with EPC Learning Labs, GBSN is pleased to offer a FOSTERing Belonging⢠a customizable program to member institutions. This custom program is designed to help business school administrators be better leaders and educators.
Research, out of the Wharton School of Business (1), shows that despite the almost $8 billion invested in DEI programs each year, this training falls short of changing behaviors and has a negligible positive effect on organizations.
A newly published study offers a clue about what is missing: belonging.
Belonging is different fromâand perhaps more important thanâinclusion. When employees feel they donât belong, they experience inauthenticity, sadness, and anger. Research suggests efforts to improve organizational DEI will inevitably fail if employees donât come to the table, or leave from it, with a sense of belonging. Other research supports this conclusion, too, reporting that when organizations do foster a culture of belonging, every aspect of organization performance skyrockets (see graphic).
Whatâs more, those employees who harbored a genuine sense of belonging reaped even greater individual accomplishments: doubling the rate of raises and breaking through promotion ceilings far more easily. Belonging is not only the nucleus of true organizational diversity, equity, and inclusion; it is also a cornerstone of individual and organizational success and advancement for everyone.
Fostering belonging matters in the classroom as well as the conference room.
So, whatâs the difference between Inclusion and Belonging?
The Society for Human Resources Management defines inclusion as âthe achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organizationâs success.â Letâs face it: inclusion is an administrative policy enacted by organizational leaders, and itâs also only part of the answer to a complex organizationalâand humanâchallenge.
Belonging is completely different.
The desire to belong stems from our innate human need for self-esteem and acceptance as part of a supportive group. Even with the most inclusive set of organizational policies in place, employees may not feel like they truly belong. As a result, performance flounders, employees suffer negative health consequences, and turnover soars, especially among underrepresented groups.
Workplace belonging originates in the way people are treatedâday in and day outâespecially in meetings, where employees typically spend more than half their time. But few leaders and colleagues understand how to generate consistent feelings of belonging during these meetings. All too often, people unwittingly trigger the exact opposite sentimentâalienation and lonelinessâespecially for those from underrepresented groups. When team cohesion fragments, organizational performance suffers. This is where EPC Learning Labs comes in.
Why does the failure of typical DEI programs matter to business schools?
1
business schools themselves need to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive if they are to lead in this area.
2
business schools want to generate a bigger impact from the DEI programs they offer to students and organizations.
That is why GBSN is partnering with EPC Learning Labs to offer this transformative program for business schools worldwide.
How can you create feelings of belongingâŚacross your institution?
FOSTERing Belonging⢠is a unique program that helps participants, especially leaders, spark feelings of belonging for everyone. The content comprises two parts and is delivered in an unparalleled learning process (see below).
The first draws on brain science to introduce a framework describing three modes of thinking. This framework provides surprising insights about when and how individuals experience âthreatâ responses. These responses trigger sets of biases, decisions, and behaviors that lead to alienation and loneliness.
Building on these modes of thinking, the second part of the program introduces FOSTER, a set of five strategic principles that, if followed, can generate genuine feelings of belonging and inclusion in meetings. These principles gain traction with specific processes and facilitation techniques and methods designed to transform every meeting into a high-performance, culture-building opportunity. Mastery of this content ensures that all meeting participants feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued.
