The Meaningfulness of Inclusion, and Belonging

Diversity advocate Vernā Myers said, “Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.” (Another person added, "Equity is giving the opportunity for the attendees to choose the music.")

Inclusion means that all people, regardless of their abilities, disabilities, or health care needs, have the right to be respected and appreciated as valuable members of their communities.

Inclusion in the Workplace (from the Society of Human Resource Management) is “The achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization's success.”

Inclusion is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act of including; the state of being included."

What does “Belongingness” mean? One website (Belongingness - definition, examples, and importance - F4S (fingerprintforsuccess.com)) describes the meaning of “belongingness” as: The most important element of any workplace is “the people.” The Bank places a lot of importance on connection and bonding – with both our internal and external customers, and we value relationships above everything else. Ensuring that our team members (and customers) feel a sense of belonging leads to stronger relationships and a higher sense of trust.
