Building Trust in the Workplace

Welcome HR Directors, Managing Directors & Senior Business Leaders

Now more than ever trust is a critical component to the success and performance of leaders and of a business. It would seem that to some businesses Ethics, Values and Trust are cheap dispensable commodities to be put aside if it will sell a few more widgets, newspapers, or get them closer to a large shareholder dividend.

Then again I know from conversations with my clients and their staff the importance and value of building ethical trustworthy relationships as a route to sustained business growth. They’re not resting on their laurels here either and the results are speaking for themselves.

Last year I did a trust masterclass with Sue Swanborough HR Director for General Mills UK & Ireland. The feedback was fantastic and this year we’re doing it again. However in this masterclass we’re notching it up a few gears. Last year our masterclass was packed with the basics, this year we’re doing an advanced version. Both Sue and I will be sharing our experience, key learnings, and the things that make the difference in the practical world of business.

On this tele conference call we’ll be discussing:-

• Why trust is an inside job first and foremost
• Authenticity in leadership and it’s impact on trust
• Common behaviours that undermine trust and credibility, yet are often seen as acceptable in the workplace.
• Plus we’ll open the lines so you can ask your questions direct, as well as giving you the opportunity to send in your questions beforehand.

Customers today aren’t making purchase decisions based on price alone, trust and credibility are primary influences and fundamental to building brand loyalty.

Remember high trust organisations out perform low trust ones by 278%  Even if you took just one thing from the call with Sue and I what difference would implementing that make in your business?

The date is October 12th October at 4pm.  To join us all you need is your telephone.
