"Rapists, I'm sorry to say, are our friends and relatives and colleagues. And we, all of us of every gender, are all part of r**e culture: the culture that we all help maintain every day...And let's face it, we can't lynch, castrate or hang everyone who's responsible for r**e culture.

"In the complex study of human psychology, one finding is remarkably consistent: our well-being rests squarely on our connection to others.

When we feel like we belong, we experience meaning, life satisfaction, physical health and psychological stability. When we feel excluded, physical pain and a wide range of psychological ailments result."

Research shows that belonging at work is key to an organization's bottomline, employees' well-being and productivity, and our sense of meaning as individuals and workers. Thankfully, we can all play a role in creating belonging, regardless of our job title.
