Developing the organisation through its people

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Yesterday I led a session on "building a sense of belonging" as a key capability for leaders of change. Psychologists say people have a fundamental need to belong - on a par with our need to feel loved. A sense of belonging makes us more likely to collaborate, share ideas, innovate & support change at work. A sense of belonging isn't just a feeling of "fitting in". It's also about being recognised for the unique things that each of us brings.
Here's a piece I wrote with @goranhenriks for @BMJLeader: https://t.co/ByMy5pT4Wi
Here are some recent practical resources to build belonging from @CCLdotORG: https://t.co/ktKfjkpvvG
Plus a graphic that describes how people often feel when they don't belong.

Amazing and humbling experience this evening at the long service awards. As Stephen Posey said there were 1500 years of service in the room. 25 of those years are mine. Thank you @UHDBTrust @hospitalcharity @PDTUHDB @amrawlings

Building a sense of belonging is an act of leadership. It creates the conditions for people around us to feel supported & valued & to thrive. Even small moments of connection or reflection can have a big impact on people's sense of belonging.
@GeoffCohen, author of "Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides", suggests seven ways to build belonging for ourselves & others:
1) Reach out: small actions matter.
2) Don’t underestimate the benefits of connection: even little connections energise us.
3) Don’t be so quick to judge others: we tend to over-blame people (personality/ability/virtues) & under-blame situations & context.
4) Be welcoming at the beginning: we can improve retention by helping new people evoke their best self during the induction process, rather than trying to “break them in.”
5) Give wise criticism: give feedback in a way that helps people learn but isn’t threatening or undermining to their sense of belonging.
6) Share stories of adversity: stories of people who have gone before us help us to see our shared humanity.
7) Listen to other people’s perspectives: ask them questions about what’s standing in the way of their belonging & how we can help.

I have been asked for advice about improving organisational culture. My view? DON'T start by setting up a "culture change" programme or a direct "culture" intervention. Culture gets changed when people start doing real work differently. Culture change is a byproduct of wider improvements. See for instance: https://t.co/rwNoixl4GJ. Via @HBSWK

If you know someone who's graduated or left uni anytime in the last ten or fifteen years, pls suggest they watch @itvMLshow tonight 8pm. One of my big 3 topics will be explaining step by step how millions have overpaid student loans and can get £100s back easily and at speed.

Most my work is based on kindness and wellbeing but every so often, an “aggressive kindness” message is needed

Wellbeing is not fluffy or a luxury

[UHDB Organisational Development @UHDB_OD]

Spotted at FNCH while dropping off a prize for @UHDBTrust staff survey. How adorable!

[Dr Andy Cope @beingbrilliant]

Genius...

[✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 @Sonia_Sparkles]

If you care about staff, keeping them happy & motivated, you’ll make sure their basic needs are met

Simple things to help them do their job well: Breaks, rest space, kindness, a desk space & kitchen

You might not be able to meet them all but can do what we can @NeedsAtWork
