What does belongingness mean? It is not about grand gestures from one human to another. It is the small acts that count. That make humans feel like they belong to each other. Did you copy a junior on an email today even if in Cc? Did you forget to or leave them out on purpose? Did you make eye contact and say hello to each person in a group when you passed them in the corridor or did you make them feel like they don't exist? It doesn't matter how busy or important you are. Did you ensure everyone in your car pool got to speak and express themselves or did you just speak to those you consider your friends? Hierarchies (various kinds), man made titles (various types) stop us from being human, from pulling others into the realm of belongingness. Being mindful, being kind are tools available for us to make each human valued and make each human feel like they belong with the rest of us.
