Trust, It’s a Leader’s Behaviour That Counts Most.

Trust has taken a hit lately in all facets of our life. The combined effects of economy issues, financial mismanagement, and an increasing sense that, in business at least, everyone seems to be in it only for themselves. The result has been dwindling levels of trust in organisations to a recent new low point where only seven percent of workers strongly agree that they trust their senior leaders to look out for their best interest.

Leaders need to tackle these declining levels of trust head-on, according to Cynthia Olmstead, founder and president of TrustWorks Group, Inc., a consultancy that is partnering with The Ken Blanchard Companies to improve trust in organisations. To combat the decline, Olmstead recommends that leaders take the time to assess current trust levels in their organisations and if they find trust is lacking, immediately begin a process to resolve the issues. .

May Recorded Webinar Details.

Trust: The Critical Link to a High Energy Workplace.
Cindy Olmstead, Founder and President, TrustWorks Group
Just missed? - Thursday, May 20, 2010, 5:00–6:00 p.m. Ireland Time

Trust is a primary factor in how people work together, listen to one another, and build effective relationships. Yet many people are unaware of the actions that influence trust. While almost all employees consider trust in the workplace to be important, only 39% of employees say they trust the senior leaders at their firms. Only 20% of employees fully trust the organisation they work for. Trust is a critical link to all good relationships, both personal and professional. Studies show that productivity, income, and profits are positively or negatively impacted depending on the level of trust in the work environment.
