In the feature, Andrea emphasizes the importance of fostering environments where every individual feels seen, valued, and supported. This commitment goes beyond inclusion, centering around five critical and scientifically validated belonging indicators: comfort, connection, contribution, psychological safety, and wellbeing. “When employees truly feel they belong, they’re able to bring their authentic selves to work, which unlocks unprecedented levels of creativity and collaboration,” she explains.
With a background in neuroscience and Industrial & Organizational Psychology, Andrea's methodology is rooted in understanding the brain’s responses to workplace dynamics. Her insights reveal that organizations that prioritize belonging not only enhance employee engagement and productivity but also achieve a competitive advantage in today’s dynamic market. “Belonging is the bridge connecting organizational culture with DEI, enabling meaningful change that fosters resilience, innovation, and long-term success,” Andrea shares.
A key highlight of Andrea’s career, as explored in Conglomerate Magazine, is her groundbreaking research in the Canadian mining sector.
