How To Build Trust

Trust has become an even more vital component in our organisations, now that many companies are trusting their workforce to operate remotely. In this HR Uprising Podcast episode, Lucinda talks about the importance of trust on both sides of the equation, and how we can do our part to build healthy relationships built upon this crucial foundation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trust is the foundation of all successful relationships, and so the level of trust we have in each other depends on our levels of confidence in that person. Furthermore, trust is founded upon the consistency of actions. By having our standards met, and in some cases exceeded, time and again, we come to rely upon those around us, therefore establishing trust. Above all, if we wish to develop trust, we must start with ourselves. Therefore, we must have confidence enough to set and achieve small goals. Certainly, most performance issues are the result of a lack of clarity. If we empower people more by being clear on the goals we hope to achieve, then we build trust on both sides. BEST MOMENTS ’Trust is that slightly intangible element that’s so vital for healthy relationships and high performing organisations’ ‘If we start with trust, then we get the best out of ourselves and others’ ’Trust is an output of character and confidence’ ‘Empower but don’t abdicate - and definitely don’t micro-manage' VALUABLE RESOURCES Host of The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, where you can find additional free HR Resources: https://actus.co.uk/free-performance-management-resources/ Actus Software resources particularly relevant to this podcast: Infographic: Building Trust as a Remote Manager White Paper: Managing Underperformance in a virtual world Blog: The critical link between trust and high performance The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   Join the HR Uprising LinkedIn Group Change Superhero Resources Book: How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney Training: Virtual Change Superhero Training Free Change Toolkit: www.changesuperhero.com Latest Performance Management Blog   ABOUT THE HOST   Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.
