Trust is important because when you have made trust a priority, everyone is supporting productivity, engagement and teamwork. Hear one supervisor express why trust is so important.
Supervisor Dave: If you can’t trust somebody, you can’t give them a job and expect to get it done. You don’t know whether you can take their word for it. To have a good employee, you need to be able to say, “Can you do this?” If they say, “Yes” you don’t have to constantly go check back up on them. I think it’s the baseline for all of our relationships, whether it’s at work, at home, anywhere else. I do feel like trustworthiness is happening here. I think a lot of people are a lot more particular about how they answer you now. I believe that they’ve gotten the message. I think they stop and think before they say something.
