BUILDING TRUST IN THE WORKPLACE

Why is building trust in the workplace important? If your workplace lacks trust, it isn’t just a personnel problem for HR to take care of. Trust is a business issue – it can actually affect your bottom line.  

Employee retention, achievement levels and even creativity all depend on building trust in teams. After all, employees won’t stick around in an environment where they don’t feel secure, and they won’t do their best work for leaders they don’t trust.

Most importantly, successful brainstorming and innovation depend on employees trusting each other with their ideas. The crazy, outrageous ideas are often the best, but your employees won’t feel comfortable sharing them if you don’t understand how to build trust in a team.  

Ultimately, your goal is profits. You need a culture of innovation and productivity to get there. And for that, you must learn how to build trust with employees, from company policies to workplace relationships. When your approach inspires confidence, your staff and company are able to thrive.
