What’s your team’s BQ?
“BQ?” you ask.
Yes, BQ. Belonging quotient.
Great article here from William Arruda on Forbes.com that is well worth a read. According to McKinsey, in 2022 51% of people left their jobs in search of belonging. And according to the ValueGraphic Project’s study of 750,000 people, belonging tops the list of core human values.
It’s hard to ignore those sorts of findings.
Especially in a world of increased hybrid and remote working arrangements.
Why does it matter?
Well, according to Great Place To Work, a sense of belonging boosts performance by 56%, reduces the risk of staff turnover by half, workers are 5 times more likely to stay with their organisations long-term, and 3 times more likely to actually enjoy their work.
So, as a leader, what are you doing each day to create belonging in your workplace? With numbers like this, your investment looks to have a guaranteed great return for the organisation.
