How to Create Trust in the Workplace
Instructions
1Motivate your employees by giving them incentives within the workplace. They not only need to trust you will appreciate their efforts, but also will reward them for a job done well. Ask them to work in teams so they can be successful and win a free dinner or tickets to the next theater production.
2
Ask your upper management to work closely with their department teams and to support any issues that come up, or mistakes that might occur. Get everyone working together on finding a solution that everyone agrees on. If you have to, create a problem and ask everyone to work on it to find the answer.
3
Allow employees from other departments to blend together. Bring together all of your employees and allow them to mingle and to get to know each other. Buy everyone lunch on a Friday and ask everyone to sit together in the lunch room instead of leaning over their desks and eating alone at their computers.
4
Make sure your employees know they can turn to their managers, supervisors and human resources department with any worry, question or concern they might have. Create an open door policy within your office.
5
Allow your employees to make important decisions within the company. This decision-making will build a trust between the employees and the company, if they feel more a part of it.
6
Plan a team building even and ask all your employees to attend including lower, middle and upper management. Bring everyone together as a team and allow them to experience trust creating and team building activities.
