Belonging refers to a person's perception of the amount of social support and acceptance they receive. It's more than a social nicety or being acquainted with other people—it's centered on gaining acceptance, attention, and support from members of a group as well as providing the same to other members.
Belonging is a basic psychological need of all people. We need to feel connected and be part of something meaningful. When this need is met, it creates tremendous benefits for both individuals and organizations.
Important: Meeting the need for belonging is not achieved by trying to fit in and be someone you are not. It is achieved when our connections are genuine and authentic.
