Diversity alone doesn’t guarantee success. The MIT Sloan report reveals that many organizations prioritize recruiting diverse talent but neglect fostering environments where employees feel they truly belong. For instance, research from The Courage Collective shows that a lack of psychological safety often drives leaders of color away, highlighting the stakes of neglecting belonging.
Belonging transforms diversity from a checkbox to a catalyst. When employees feel included, they’re more likely to contribute innovative ideas, collaborate effectively, and stay committed to the organization. This shift requires intentional effort, not just policy changes, but a cultural overhaul that prioritizes connection and respect.
