How does one has a sense of belonging to their company?

Answer 1

I'd say the interaction of employee/employer relations, from simple disemination/collection of pay, reward programs & mutual respect & recognition of accomplishment of the job, makes the foundation for 'belonging'. Both employer & employee must display the 'attitude' of achievements & values. Any less than enthusiastic envolvement from either will result in alienation. All coworkers must cohesively recognise their roles as merely part of a whole successful operation.

Answer 2

I work at a smaller company and I have the opportunity quite often to drive a lot of the direction. This makes me feel like I belong to the company rather than just work for it.

Answer 3

The best way is to own the company yourself or be a family member in a company owned by your family.

The next way is to be regarded as a "valued" employee by management and liked by co-workers. If you are a women, it helps to be pretty and dress well as well as to be competent enough to get by. You need to do what is called "suck-up" and no matter what happens, don't challenge or do anything to embarrass management. It helps to have a group of friends that you can hang-out with on your breaks.

No one belongs to the company anymore -- evidence are the layoffs in recent years. Many long-time loyal workers lost their jobs and also their pensions and health care benefits.

Always continue growing by taking classes and learning new skills so that you can advance to higher positions or if you need to move-on, you have options.

Answer 4

For one to have that (sense of belonging to their company), the company got to work real hard at that. Company taking care of the employees' welfare, listening to them and making the environment a better place for all, making the employees proud of their contributions and sharing with them the rewards etc

Answer 5

Say Good Morning to everyone, regardless of your mood. Make it a point to learn peoples names, and refer to them by name. Speak well of others, to others. Volunteer to participate in community service projects that your company may sponser (i.e. walk for life, etc.) Do things that make your boss look good, and when people notice, shift the credit to others. People will take notice, you will be much happier, and you will advance within the company. Good luck.
