Improve trust with people


By John Kyriazoglou*


Trust is a very important and critical issue in dealing with your people in any business environment. It takes a significant amount of time to build and can be broken in just an instant.

Is it possible to repair and rebuild trust?

The answer is YES! But you have to ACT immediately.

Don’t let a mistake in judgment turn into a failure of your character.

I would suggest the following steps:


(1) Promote personnel to higher levels of organizational hierarchy, who are capable of forming positive, trusting and caring interpersonal relationships with people who report to them,

(2) Develop the interpersonal relationship skills of all personnel and especially those of current managers and employees desiring promotion, by sending them to relevant courses or by coaching and mentoring programs,

(3) Keep your company personnel informed, as much as possible,

(4) Act with integrity and keeping commitments to all participants in the affairs of the business (employees, authorities, customers, board members, stakeholders, etc.),

(5) Protect the interest of all employees in a work group, even those who are absent,

(6) Be fair, practical, effective and results-oriented, and

(7) Listen with respect, sensitivity and full attention.

  4. Try creating some lists for your employee performance management system blog. When you are making an attempt to entice visits to your blog, you need information that will be taken in quickly by readers. The most effective method to do this is to compile lists that show things like the ten greatest places to go to or ten songs that make you move.
