It’s often said that trust is the foundation of any good relationship. Whether it’s your relationship with a spouse, a friend or yes, even an employer, without trust, there’s not much to build upon.
In fact, the CEO of UKG, Aron Ain devotes a whole chapter to trust in his book, Work Inspired, noting “For a more engaged, higher-performing workforce, start by assuming competence, and then demonstrate to your people over and over again that you trust them.”
The Workforce Institute at UKG has just released new research with the team at Workplace Intelligence on the topic of Trust in the Modern Workplace. With the COVID-19 pandemic colouring many decisions and interactions in the workplace, the topic of trust has taken on renewed urgency. Every organisation is different, but trust is a universal element required for success.
