Belonging is a fundamental human need—and now, more than ever, a fundamental element of healthy, high-performing workplaces. And yet 40% of Americans report feeling physically and emotionally isolated at work, harming our physical, mental, and social well-being as a nation.
At AIA, we believe our profession can do better. And we're taking the lead in demonstrating this by creating a culture of belonging in our new workplace. In partnership with EHDD and The Clearing, we're transforming our headquarters to foster a healthy, supportive, dynamic, and engaging workplace experience for our people.
