Diversity & inclusion

For almost 80 years, we have understood the motivating power of a sense of belonging. In 1943, Abraham Maslow posited that people were motivated by an ascending hierarchy of needs. Once our physiological and safety needs are met, the next most basic need has to do with what Maslow called love and belonging. In line with Maslow’s research, continuing studies show that when people feel a sense of belonging, they are more productive, motivated and engaged. The challenge for any organization is how to address individual behaviors that inhibit belonging and how to develop behaviors that support that sense of belonging. Hemsley Fraser can help your teams and employees understand their role in building a workplace in which everyone feels that sense of belonging and in which the importance of valuing the unique contributions of each individual is clearly articulated. We know you choose to do this because it’s the right thing to do, but we also help you articulate the sound business reasons for these actions.
