Trust is at the foundation of healthy relationships. At its core, trust is the willingness of one party to be vulnerable to the actions of another. It is an expectation that two parties will act in a way that is mutually beneficial. For these reasons, trust is a key element of effective communication, teamwork, employee commitment and productivity. It leads to stronger working relationships and a healthier organisational culture. So the question is How can we create a trusting work culture in an organisational environment?
Natalie Brown- Managing Director at Select training & management consultancy checked in to the cafe & shared some amazing insights & experiences on developing trusting work culture.
According to the Edelman "Trust Barometer" (a survey of 33,000 people in 28 countries), one in three people don’t trust their employer. In the same Edelman research, it was also discovered that trust decreases from top positions to the lowest. For instance, 64% of executives trust their organisations, while only 51% of managers and 48% of other staff trust their organisations. In other words, employees trust their peers more than the CEOs and upper-level executives. The higher up you go, the more critical it is for you to build trust with those that you supervise.
Natalie Shared that creating that Sense of Belonging, which is utmost thing any leader need to look out for. Create engaging conversations, having celebrations together, taking initiative on clear communication can lead to a trusting work culture.
