Research suggests that belonging, and its related constructs such as social determinants of health and health culture, has a strong association with health and wellness. Brought to the forefront by the COVID 19 pandemic, it has become apparent that employees thrive when their sense of belonging is optimal. As a result, measuring and understanding belongingness and its related constructs, among employees, can benefit organizations. In this session, the University of Michigan and Truven by Merative will share lessons learned from the development of dashboards and peer-reviewed research. More specifically, the team will outline measures to collect, analyze, visualize, and communicate belongingness and how this concept fits into an overall view of social determinants of health and health culture.
Learning Objectives
After completing this session, participants will be able to:
1. Describe one way of measuring each: belonging, social determinants of health, and health culture.
2. Describe one association between belonging (or a related construct) and a business outcome (e.g., absenteeism).
3. List several types of information that could be included on a dashboard that focuses on belonging or a related construct. 1 ADV CECH Available
