Slide6-8 Integration: From passive to active (Active is inclusive)

Resources

• Integration: Valuing Human Engagement

• Integration creates the conditions for human engagement to thrive. When people feel included, connected, and part of something larger, they become more willing and able to engage—with their work, with others, and with purpose.
• 1. Belonging Fuels Engagement
• Integration: Involves bringing diverse individuals, perspectives, or systems into a cohesive whole.
• Human Engagement Implication: When people feel integrated into a team, community, or culture, they are more likely to feel a sense of belonging—leading to higher motivation, commitment, and participation.
• 2. Breaking Down Silos
• Integration: Often means removing barriers between departments, cultures, or social groups.
• Human Engagement Implication: Breaking down silos fosters open dialogue, collaboration, and empathy—key drivers of authentic human engagement across organizations or societies.
• 3. Inclusivity as a Foundation
• Integration: Emphasizes inclusion—inviting all people to contribute and be valued.
• Human Engagement Implication: People engage more fully when they know their identity, voice, and experiences are not just tolerated, but actively welcomed and integrated into decision-making and culture.
• 4. Psychological Safety
• Integration: Creates environments where differences are respected and unified.
• Human Engagement Implication: People are more willing to contribute ideas, take risks, and connect when they feel safe being themselves within an integrated environment.
• 5. Holistic Systems = Deeper Commitment
• Integration: Combines fragmented elements into a meaningful system or experience.
• Human Engagement Implication: Whether in a workplace or a digital experience, integrated systems (e.g. seamless tech, aligned messaging, coherent leadership) create clarity and trust—making people more likely to engage meaningfully.
