1 Define and communicate your values

One of the first steps to create a sense of belonging in your social impact team is to define and communicate your values clearly and consistently. Values are the guiding principles that shape your team's identity, actions, and decisions. They also help you attract and retain team members who resonate with your cause and vision. To define your values, you can brainstorm with your team, use surveys or feedback tools, or consult with external stakeholders. To communicate your values, you can use stories, symbols, rituals, or recognition systems that reinforce and celebrate your values.

Los valores tienen que poder tocarse y respirarse, no son para colgar en una pared o en el ascensor. Asociar historias reales con cada valor o principio es vital para que no sean valores deseados sino valores actuales y reales. Hay que sumar historias reales cada 2x3, no puede ser que siempre se cuente o se asocie con una batallita de hace la torta de a?os. Y quizá lo más importante es ejemplificar estos valores y principios en el dia a dia con nuestro comportamiento y nuestras acciones, pero sin necesidad de tener los focos alumbrándote. Ya sabes aplica lo de "lo que mano derecha no sepa lo que hace tu mano izquierda".

Creating a sense of belonging in your social impact team involves fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where team members feel valued, connected, and aligned with the organization's mission. Clearly articulate and communicate the shared values that underpin your team's commitment to social justice, inclusivity, and the collective pursuit of positive change. Ensure that team values align with broader organizational values, creating a foundation for a shared sense of purpose and belonging.

In Social Impact team, a strong sense of belonging is nurtured by uniting around a clear mission and purpose that resonates with each member. During my time at the organization, I had the opportunity to share my views, fostering a deeper connection with the cause. Regardless of age or knowledge, the emphasis was on the value of ideas. The consistent motivation I received each time I took action played a pivotal role in helping me truly embrace the significance and value behind the social issue we were addressing. I feel a strong sense of belonging is essential for team alignment, effective communication, collaboration, and sustained motivation within a Social Impact team.

A cultura come a estrutura no café da manh?, Peter Drucker. Cultura, valores, propósitos e principalmente reputa??o, devem estar conectados. Fazendo sentido único e tem que vir da equipe para a estratégia da companhia. Quando esses papeis se invertem e colocamos colaboradores desconectados com a cultura da empresa ela se corroí em um simples café da tarde. E, além de se preocupar com o que se constrói dentro da empresa, a reputa??o é um "conquista" de fora, algo externo que se n?o cuidado, pode ser o fim do negócio, sem nem ao menos a empresa conseguir cuidar.

2 Encourage and appreciate diversity

Another key aspect of creating a sense of belonging in your social impact team is to encourage and appreciate diversity. Diversity refers to the variety of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and identities that your team members bring to the table. Diversity can enrich your team's creativity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities, as well as increase your team's empathy, inclusivity, and representation. To encourage and appreciate diversity, you can use practices such as hiring for cultural fit and contribution, providing equal opportunities and support, fostering open and respectful communication, and creating a safe and supportive environment.

No seria muy coherente buscar un impacto social desde un equipo que no represente la realidad social ?verdad? A veces veo equipos con valores claros, con ganas y buenas intenciones, pero al tiempo con algún punto ciego al respecto de cómo de ejemplar está siendo para su propósito. Si no hay diferencias de opinión o criterio, si a todo el mundo le parece bien, ... preocúpate. Seguro que te estás dejando algo por el camino... ?porque no hay mas creatividad o innovación? ?porque todo el mundo asiente?

Actively celebrate and embrace the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within the social impact team by highlighting the value that each individual brings to the collective mission. Align celebrations of diversity with values that emphasize inclusivity, equity, and the acknowledgment of the unique strengths each team member contributes. You should also establish inclusive team practices that consider the diverse needs and preferences of team members - including flexible work arrangements, accessible communication channels, and equitable decision-making processes. Align inclusive practices with values that underscore fairness, respect, and a commitment to creating a supportive work environment for everyone.

3 Build trust and collaboration

A third essential element of creating a sense of belonging in your social impact team is to build trust and collaboration. Trust is the foundation of any successful team, as it enables team members to share ideas, feedback, and emotions, as well as to rely on each other and work together effectively. Collaboration is the outcome of trust, as it involves team members working towards a common goal, leveraging each other's strengths, and learning from each other's experiences. To build trust and collaboration, you can use strategies such as setting clear and shared expectations, providing regular and constructive feedback, facilitating team bonding and social activities, and recognizing and rewarding team achievements.

Generar confianza es uno de los pilares fundamentales. Generar confianza es una decisión consciente para lograr mejores resultados a partir de la suposición de que ambas partes son recursos el uno para el otro. ?Cómo generar esa confianza? Si yo me considero para el otro como "un recurso", puedo 1. compartir información, 2. facilitar comentarios y 3. dar referencias a terceros. Te aseguro que haciendo esto la confianza crece y se contagia.

4 Empower and develop your team members

A fourth crucial factor of creating a sense of belonging in your social impact team is to empower and develop your team members. Empowerment means giving your team members the autonomy, responsibility, and resources to make decisions, take actions, and learn from their mistakes. Development means providing your team members with the opportunities, guidance, and feedback to grow their skills, knowledge, and potential. To empower and develop your team members, you can use methods such as delegating meaningful and challenging tasks, offering coaching and mentoring, creating learning and career paths, and celebrating and rewarding growth.

Offer professional development opportunities that support the growth and career aspirations of each team member while recognizing and investing in the unique skills and potential within the team. Align professional development with values that emphasize growth, continuous learning, and a commitment to nurturing the individual capacities of team members. Organize team bonding activities that go beyond work tasks to foster a sense of camaraderie through social events, team-building exercises, and activities that strengthen interpersonal connections. Align these team bonding activities with values that emphasize community, shared experiences, and the building of strong relationships within the team.

5 Solicit and act on feedback

A fifth important component of creating a sense of belonging in your social impact team is to solicit and act on feedback. Feedback is the information that you and your team members exchange to understand each other's needs, preferences, and performance. Feedback can help you and your team members improve your work quality, efficiency, and satisfaction, as well as strengthen your relationships, trust, and collaboration. To solicit and act on feedback, you can use tools such as surveys, polls, interviews, or focus groups, as well as follow up with actions, changes, or improvements based on the feedback.
