What role do managers play in creating belonging?

Managers play a central role in creating belonging by modeling inclusive behavior, ensuring all voices are heard, addressing bias in real time, and reinforcing psychological safety on teams.

How can training build awareness of bias and its impact on inclusion?

Training raises awareness of bias, helps employees recognize micro-moments of exclusion, and provides tools to counteract bias in decisions, communications, and collaboration.

How does Emtrain’s microlesson link bias awareness to belonging?

Emtrain’s microlesson links bias awareness to belonging by showing how daily interactions affect inclusion, helping employees practice behaviors that foster connection and reduce turnover risk.

Building Belonging in a Healthcare Setting

Eliminating Unconscious Bias in a Healtcare Facility

Unconscious bias can pop-up in any setting or environment, that includes doctors' offices and hospitals. In a fast-paced healthcare setting, people can be quick to make judgements and assumptions based on how someone looks. Once a biased comment is made, how can others jump in and create a sense of belonging?

Microlesson Description

In this microlesson, we illustrate how to address unconscious bias by building belonging in a healthcare setting. Creating a sense of inclusion and belonging is a skill that can be developed and provides a better, healthier workplace experience for everyone. We show an example of how a doctor uses his privilege to stand up for his colleague to combat bias and course correct the disrespectful behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions about Building Belonging in a Healthcare Setting

Below are answers to common questions that employees and managers have about this topic. These FAQs provide a preview of what you’ll learn in this microlesson and why it matters.

Why is belonging as important as diversity in the workplace?

Belonging is as important as diversity because representation alone doesn’t ensure employees feel safe, valued, or empowered—belonging drives retention, engagement, and performance.

How does unconscious bias undermine belonging?

Unconscious bias undermines belonging by sending subtle signals of exclusion (e.g., assumptions about competence, unequal opportunities) that erode trust and inclusion.

What risks arise when employees feel excluded?

When employees feel excluded, risks include lower engagement, turnover, reduced innovation, and legal exposure if exclusion patterns overlap with protected categories.

How can HR measure belonging across teams?

HR can measure belonging through engagement surveys, inclusion diagnostics, turnover data by demographic group, and pulse checks—giving leaders actionable insights.

Why is addressing bias key to employee retention?

Addressing bias is key to retention because unchecked bias leads to attrition, disengagement, and reputational damage, while reducing bias builds fairness and trust that keep employees committed.
