Many of us feel a sense of purpose—and even belonging—in our work. But do we feel a sense of belonging to our workplace? Not necessarily. A workplace community is different from a family community, a faith community, a school community or any other kind of community. A workplace has its own rules, its own rhythms, its own pain points. It also has its own kinds of relationships.
Dr. Nunn’s Trust & Trustworthiness at Work keynote brings insights from sociology to explain how in our everyday interactions with colleagues we either cultivate belonging for each other or undermine it. Drawing on data from her new research study, Dr. Nunn offers strategies you can immediately put to use to strengthen workplace collaboration, break down silos, and bridge each other’s strengths.
It boils down to trust. Vibrant workplace communities are places where people feel trusted in their work and they are also places where leadership—and everyone else—prove themselves to be trustworthy day-in and day-out. Dr. Nunn explains not just why, but how to move your workplace in that direction.
