Trust is today’s most powerful currency. How are you spending it?

A high-trust work environment is the foundation of a winning culture. When trust is pervasive in the workplace, employees feel supported, respected, and empowered. Engagement and retention increase in cultures built on trust, which leads to greater innovation, increased productivity, and improved business results—known as “trust dividends.”

Organisational trust relies on many of the same elements as individual trustworthiness: honesty, consistent follow-through, clear communication, and personal autonomy. When people in your company fail to embody these characteristics, particularly at the leadership level, a culture of trust can start to deteriorate, resulting in “trust taxes.”

Growing and sustaining a culture of trust takes a focused, ongoing effort across your organisation. FranklinCovey’s principle-backed content, expert consultants, and innovative technology will equip your organisation with the mindsets and skillsets to increase trust and drive lasting behaviour change.

Essential Skills to Increase Trust in the Workplace

 
A winning culture starts with trust. Both leaders and individual team members can build trust by acting with integrity, demonstrating honesty and respect, and investing in relationships.

Accountability and Integrity

Team members earn and extend trust when they take responsibility for their actions and results, create transparency, talk truthfully, keep their commitments, and show confidence that others will do the same.

Communication and Relationship-Building

Team members signal respect and lead with empathy by utilising active listening skills, prioritising understanding, and building strong relationships with others.

Courage and
Consideration

Teams balance courage with consideration, modeling empathy and compassion while maintaining high expectations for themselves and others, enabling innovation and creativity to flourish.
