A workplace without trust can never live up to its full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For team members and leaders to perform at their best, they need to know they are free to work, experiment and innovate in a trusting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workplace trust is built through respect and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A workplace with good levels of trust offers a culture of honesty, openness, mutual respect and psychological safety<\/a>. People will be able to say what they mean, admit to mistakes and experiment without fear of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a company with a trustworthy culture has some huge benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A study by Paul J. Zak, the founding director of the Centre for Neuroeconomics Studies, found that people at high-trust companies reported 74% less stress<\/a>, 106% more energy at work and 50% higher productivity at work than those in low-trust companies. Raising trust levels is a great place to start if you want a high-performing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy is Workplace Trust Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
