Workplace Success Now Relies on Community and Belonging

"Employees don’t leave jobs; they leave workplaces where they feel invisible and undervalued."

Think about that for a moment. In a world where hybrid and remote work have reshaped how we connect, the need for community and belonging has never been more critical. It’s not just a feel-good concept—it’s the secret sauce for thriving organizations. When employees feel they belong, they bring their best selves to work, fostering creativity, collaboration, and success.

But how do you create that sense of belonging in today’s fast-evolving workplaces?

Let’s dive in.

The Case for Belonging

Here’s a fact to chew on: According to a study by BetterUp, employees who feel a strong sense of belonging are 50% less likely to leave their jobs and are 56% more productive.

Yet, Gallup data shows that only 30% of employees feel connected to their workplace culture. That’s a massive gap, and it’s costing companies billions in lost productivity and turnover.

Belonging isn’t just an HR trend; it’s a business imperative. It’s like watering a plant—without it, your team won’t grow or thrive.

How Tap My Back Builds Communities at Work

Tap My Back is here to change the game. By combining recognition, feedback, and engagement tools, our platform helps organizations build a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

1. Recognition That Resonates

Recognition isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about consistency. With our customizable recognition badges, you can celebrate everything from smashing quarterly goals to simply being a great team player. And the best part? You can recognize team members with or without rewards—because sometimes, a heartfelt “Thank You” is the best reward of all.

"Recognition is like coffee for the soul—it keeps you going."

2. Mood Meters and eNPS Surveys

Ever wondered how your team really feels? Our Mood Meters and eNPS surveys let you check the pulse of your team in real-time. Whether it’s a good day, a bad week, or something in between, you’ll know how to act before small issues become big problems.

3. Open Channels for Feedback

Feedback shouldn’t be a one-way street. With 360-degree Feedback, Tap My Back creates a culture of transparency and growth. Leaders can give and receive feedback, helping everyone feel empowered to grow.

4. Never Miss a Milestone

Automatic reminders for birthdays and work anniversaries ensure that no milestone goes unnoticed. It’s these small touches that show employees they matter—not just as workers, but as people.

"People don’t work for companies; they work for communities where they feel valued."

The Power of Shared Moments

Belonging thrives in shared moments—the ones that remind us why we’re here, working together toward a shared purpose. Think of Tap My Back as the glue that holds those moments together, ensuring no one feels left out.

Here’s a metaphor: Imagine your team is an orchestra. Each employee is an instrument, and belonging is the harmony that makes your team’s music beautiful. Without it, you’re just noise.

A Story of Belonging

Sarah was a marketing manager at a tech startup. She’d been feeling disconnected in her remote role until her team implemented Tap My Back. One day, she received a recognition badge for “Innovative Thinker” from a colleague.

That simple act of acknowledgment made her feel seen and appreciated. Soon, Sarah began using the platform’s feedback tools to share her own recognition with others, strengthening bonds across her team.

Today, Sarah’s team boasts one of the highest engagement scores in the company. It all started with a small gesture of belonging.
