Trust Management

Trust is a fundamental building block to any relationship in the work place. Employees need to find themselves in the position to use their peers' support and vice versa. How do we get to the point of being able to trust that our co-workers will perform in a way that is conducive to the environment? By every person in the company enacting efforts to drive said trust.

Companies that are built on a strong organizational structure as well as a complementing culture will facilitate a healthy posture for every employee. Right from the birth of a business the owners have to dedicate their time to deciding what type of working atmosphere they want their employees to be in. These ideas would eventually make their way into the mission statement and ethical standards the owners want to convey. Having goals carried by every employee that enhance the work environment in a positive light will inherently carry more capable modes of trust especially if new personnel see that the culture reflects it in the work place.

Once the values and culture of a business are established it is imperative to keep said values intact. Time eventually erodes all establishments if care isn't taken to refresh and retrain employees as to what the initial ideals are. Miss steps can take a workplace back if employees stray and find themselves working against others eventually bringing us to a lack of trust among personnel and in turn performance (State).

Hiring representatives, in a sense, are in place to make sure the right type of employees are hired and would best fit the performance in a work environment. These "citizens of an organization" are the front line as to making sure new staff is placed properly (TXTBK). New employees obviously already have the drive to succeed; they wouldn't be there if they didn't. Being hired and not put in the correct position could potentially dissolve any trust the new employee had in the company. This idea would suggest that HR staff safeguard not only the company but each individual in said company making sure new hires' drive isn't wasted and the workplace is as fluid as possible.

The proverbial buck does not stop at HR though. Nurturing employees' talents should be a primary focus of any manager. When new staff is settled into the work place they still need placed into the fold. A manager that can reinforce their staff's strengths will better facilitate the performance as an entire unit.
