Welcome back! In this week’s episode host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews an expert on workplace culture and its influence on employees. Rajkumari Neogy, the author of “The WIT Factor: Shifting the Workplace Paradigm by Becoming Your Optimal Self,” discusses the importance of a workplace environment that makes employees feel a sense of belonging. Rajkumari, who holds a master’s degree in Transformative Leadership Development from the California Institute of Integral Studies describes his experience working at Facebook and other iconic organizations in the Silicon Valley, and why she became a leadership coach based on those experiences. You will hear more about:
– How epigenetics factor into creating an inclusive workplace culture
– Why leaders should care about “being nice” to their employees
– How just as we can rewire our neural pathways, a corporate culture can be rewired to make everyone working there feel safe using principles of polyvagal theory
– How a sense of belonging is a somatic experience
– What leaders need to do in order to support their teams
– An exercise Rajkumari uses when working with corporate teams
