The degree to which someone derives meaning and purpose from work may be the most significant distinction between a job and a career, and psychological research has consistently shown that when employees feel a sense of belonging to a team or organization that performance is better, and the employees happiness is higher. A lack of belonging, on the other hand, increases the danger of burnout, and underperformance. This challenge has never been more difficult than during the recent year during a global pandemic.
If companies want to retain staff and attract new talent during the pandemic, they must promote a culture of belonging among workers. This sense of team culture has been harmed during the pandemic as companies have moved away from in-person encounters and instead relied on video chats to stay connected.
