WITH TRUST
Trust is at the heart of every relationship, and it’s especially critical in the workplace. In fact, the primary factor affecting employee turnover is whether or not a trusting relationship was developed between the manager and the employee. Our Building Trust workshop teaches your managers how to build trust to increase engagement, creativity, and commitment.
managers withhold information, people talk behind each other’s backs, employees are afraid to share concerns, no one takes responsibility, and you end up with poor morale, lower productivity, increased turnover, and an unhealthy work environment.
82% OF PEOPLE say they don’t trust their boss to tell the truth and 45% OF EMPLOYEES say lack of trust in leadership is the biggest issue impacting their work performance.*

In contrast, high trust organisations experience 32X GREATER RISK-TAKING, 11X MORE INNOVATION, AND 6X HIGHER PERFORMANCE.**

RELATIONSHIPS
We know how important trust is in every relationship. Our Building Trust program can help your leaders and their team members learn how to build trust in the workplace and how to repair it when it’s been broken.
Based on 30 years of research, our trust experts have developed a simple, yet powerful trust model that provides a common language and framework, focused on the specific behaviours that build trust.
With the Building Trust program, individuals are able to understand the impact of their behaviours on building or eroding trust, and can identify those aspects that need attention to build and maintain trusting relationships.

The focus is on helping managers understand the impact of trust within the workplace and learn a language to enhance and sustain trusting relationships. Building Trust is a stand-alone module or it can be embedded into SLII® or other Blanchard® programs. This is a half-day session.
A Virtual workshop runs over a half day and comprises of 2 session.
