Excerpt from the Book
2. Building Trust in the Workplace
Trust is one of the key characteristics which is very important in the relationships (Hedberg & Helenius, 2007). If there is no trust, there are no partners. Trust makes the difference. At Continental Airlines, in 2003, at a department, employees faced with the probability of layoffs. When the employees learned this, they did something interesting. They went to the management with idea that all the full-timers to move to part-time status. By doing this no one would need to be fired. The employees were sure that that management would listen to them and it happened so. Positive relationships between the management and employees go on today as well. How could these positive relationships be created? The simple answer is by means of trust. Trust is a vital, key factor for powerful communication. It also supports the cooperation across departments and hierarchies, finding solutions while facing difficult situations (Bulding trust in the workplace, 2012). As another example, Microsoft decided to make an effort to build and raise the trust among the team members. When people trust each other, they do not keep the know-how in their drawers, they share the information and their knowledge with the others and the communication flow moves without any barriers and working can become fun at the end. For this aim, Microsoft did an online survey to improve the trust. The survey gave a list seen below about the factors which affect the trust and the team began to consider these factors to reinforce the trust among the team (Zheng & Palayo, 2009).
