Trust Accelerators: Building Trust In The Workplace (Virtual and Onsite)

Activating The Domino Effect That Accelerates Team Engagement, Innovation and High-Performance.

“High trust organizations outperform low trust organization on total shareholder ROI by more than 280%.” –Towers Watson Worldwide Study

The Challenge Of Building Trust

One of the biggest challenges teams and organizations face in today’s business environment is a lack of trust in the workplace. In the majority of engagement survey results we’ve seen, “lack of trust” is almost always present as one of the areas needing attention and improvement.

Trust in Teams Is a Non-negotiable

A team that doesn’t trust each other is really just a group of individuals that work on tasks but never reach their full potential. They cannot bring forth exceptional results as a team. The bottom line: low-trust teams don‘t perform well or produce exceptional business outcomes. Why? Low-trust teams argue over roles and responsibilities. They don’t consistently cooperate or collaborate with each other. Rifts form. Confidence is overshadowed by doubt. The team environment weakens. Everything begins to take longer and becomes harder. Commitment, productivity, innovation, and team engagement all suffer because trust is absent from the mix. Trust is the cornerstone of engagement.

Trust Makes Teams Work

Teams with high-trust connect, collaborate, and allow team members to do their best work together. They support one another. They work smarter, faster and accomplish more. Business results are achieved through relationships. Authentic relationships are built on trust. Teams do their best work in a workplace that has a culture of trust built into it. Bottom line: Trust makes teams work because trust builds the bridge between the business need for results and the human need for connection.
