Editor's Notes
- Nine high-value employees left over the course of a few months ~135 employees
- Ignorance toward long-term cost of decisions made today
- Interventions that nurture people’s belonging and self-worth Not off the shelf solutions Require thoughtful empathy Impact, Ray Bradbury, A Sound of Thunder
- Belonging cues are behaviors that create safe connection in groups. They include, among others, proximity, eye contact, energy, mimicry, turn taking, attention, body language, vocal pitch, consistency of emphasis, and whether everyone talks to everyone else in the group. Like any language, belonging cues can’t be reduced to an isolated moment but rather consist of a steady pulse of interactions within a social relationship. Their function is to answer the ancient, ever-present questions glowing in our brains: Are we safe here? What’s our future with these people? Are there dangers lurking?
