Skip to main content My Dashboard EN VIDEO: THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE NOT TO BELONG VIDEO: THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE NOT TO BELONG Janet, a middle-aged Black woman, has been at her new job for a couple months now, long enough that she shouldn’t feel like the “new one” anymore, but she does. Her coworkers—mostly young, male, and white—all seem pretty close. They have their own jokes, favorite lunch spots, and even go out for drinks after work once or twice a week. And while she’s tried to be friendly, she feels too awkward to ask to be included. At some point, we’ve all felt like Janet: left out. Feelings of exclusion aren’t just bad for individual morale; they’re bad for business. When employees feel included, they’re more likely to feel engaged at work. And increased engagement leads to higher levels of creativity, innovation, and less employee turnover. Watch: A powerful reminder of the various ways people feel excluded at work and beyond, this video also reminds us about the benefits of diversity and inclusivity, and offers us the motto, “let our differences be embraced as strengths.” Traits We Need to Build Belonging No one likes feeling excluded. Thankfully, we can all take steps to make the workplace more welcoming by utilizing the following traits: Compassion Compassion means caring about others, but it also means paying attention. When we notice others, we get better at looking beyond stereotypes, assumptions, and our own biases to see them for the unique individuals they are. Empathy Empathy is the act of feeling what another person feels, of “walking a mile in their shoes” so we can better understand their emotions in the moment. Practicing empathy can help us make sure no one ever feels left out. Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize our own feelings, those of others, and to effectively manage those feelings within ourselves and our relationships. Through self- and social awareness, and self- and relationship management, we can increase our EQ and get better at connecting with ourselves and those around us.A Growth Mindset Having a growth mindset means you believe you’re capable of improvement. With hard work, good strategies, and input from others, you can make sure you’re always learning. And when it comes to being more inclusive, keeping an open mind is essential.Awareness of Bias Unconscious bias is one of the primary drivers of exclusion. Despite our best intentions, our brains rely on stereotypes and other assumptions to categorize people who are different from us. But with awareness and practice, we can dismantle our unconscious biases. Take Away: No one wants to feel excluded. And we probably all have at least one story like Janet’s, some moment when we felt like we didn’t belong in a group of people who differed from us. But if each of us works to be more inclusive, we can help keep others from feeling left out. As the video asks us to remember, “Inclusion starts with I.” BOBcast: Using Your Everyday Privilege (2:23) Which of your identities do you think about the least? Whether it's your ethnicity, religion, or gender, that lack of thought means you have some privilege. Listen in for tips to use that privilege for the greater good here. Audio Player Your browser does not support the audio element. 00:00 00:00 | 00:00 Click here to read a transcript of the BOBcast. Welcome to another Blue Ocean Brain BOBCast. I’m Keiana King. And in this episode, we’re discussing how you can use your everyday privilege to help others. Marco and Natasha are walking out of work when they run into Elise. “Hey!” Elise says. “Are you coming to family day tomorrow? My husband Andrew is coming.” Natasha declines, and Marco turns to her. “Why not? Everyone is invited. Even gay couples!” Elise turns to Marco. “It sounds like your intentions are to be inclusive, but saying ‘even gay couples,’ is saying it was an exception that Natasha and her wife were invited. That isn’t acceptable.” Elise used her privilege to stand up for Natasha. As award-winning psychologist Dolly Chugh writes, “In America, if you are white or Christian or able-bodied or straight or English-speaking, these particular identities are easy to forget.” This is called “ordinary privilege” because these identities easily blend in with the people around us. A straight person can go long periods without considering their sexual orientation. But this isn’t true for members of the LGBTQ community who often face daily reminders of their difference. In fact, a study conducted by the Human Rights Campaign found that 46% of LGBTQ people remain closeted at work because of the challenges of being out. So, how can you use your ordinary privilege? Well, first, you need to know what it is. Consider the aspects of your identity you think about the least, be it your gender or ethnicity or sexual orientation. Then, call out injustices for people who do not share those identities like Elise did. If you’re straight and hear anti-LGBTQ messages, speak up. If you’re a man and someone speaks over a woman in a meeting, redirect the conversation back to her. Privilege is often ignorable, unless you don’t have it. So use yours to make a more equitable workplace for everyone. Thank you for listening to this BOBcast, elevating people performance in digestible learning moments.
