According to the US Department of Labor, 47 million Americans voluntarily left their jobs in 2021. The number one reason these employees joined the Great Resignation was because they worked for employers that fostered toxic cultures – cultures where exclusion and othering thrive.

If you too have joined the Great Resignation and are seeking your next great career opportunity, you likely are also a part of the “Great Reflection.” This collective reflection period encourages many of us to reimagine the kind of culture we desire – one where our values fully align with our employers’ values.

You will learn 5 simple actions you can take to earn your next great career opportunity. As you listen, you may want to write out your top 5 – 10 personal values that guide how you live and work. Knowing your personal values will help you get the most out of today’s content, as you identify prospective employers that prioritize building more safety, trust, and belonging at work.

Earlier this year, the Belonging at Work team developed a blog series exploring emerging trends for diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI) professionals. To connect with fellow professionals, we’ll be offering a live webinar next Thursday, April 12 where participants will have an opportunity to further explore these trends. The learning kicks off at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern time, and DEI professionals along with anyone else interested in the concept of how to cultivate workplace cultures of belonging are encouraged to register here: www.rhodesperry.com/register.

Belonging – it's the reason why I started my business, and it's the driving force behind why I've dedicated my career to inspiring others to open their hearts and minds to new people, ideas, and experiences. As I continue to build a purpose-driven business designed to make it easier for professionals to bring their whole selves to work, I am eager to learn more about the specific challenges you are looking to address, and how I can offer support or guidance. I encourage you to let me know how I can help by sending a quick email.
