This can be done by increasing positive social interactions, providing recognition for good work, and creating a sense of belonging within the organization.

Additionally, Research published in the Harvard Business Review found that 84% of employees experienced increased creativity when working in a culture of joy (Su, 2019). Furthermore, the research revealed that when employees felt a sense of belonging, it resulted in a 25% increase in trust levels.
