Trust and Respect are two of the most vital connections between your employee’s and your business culture. Their motivation to deliver the experience you expect to your clients, is directly correlated to whether or not they respect your intent. That respect is earned through mutual trust. That trust is built by creating a transparent system of accountability for yourself, your employees, and the leaders within the company to hold the intentions of your culture above personal intention.

Trust is Tested

Trust is tested in every interaction. You begin testing your ability to trust in new hires before you offer the position, by holding them accountable to their resume and its map of their experience.  You test their personal accountability by watching their timeliness, ability to maintain their own schedule, adhere to timelines, and work with others. The people you employ are watching you and your decisions with the same critical eye. Testing to see if what speak of with importance is reflected in the actions of your managers and seasoned peers. They are noticing the differences between how they are trained to do the job vs. how it is actually getting done, and deciding if you follow through on your word to hold others accountable. Every new addition to your work team is a new test. By comparing your current action with their memory, your employees are deciding if they can trust you. Without your trust they will never be able to work confidently, creatively, or independently. Without trust their you will never find loyalty.
