South Africans don’t trust their workplaces – National Corporate Trust Index

Featured on: Bizcommunity | Written by: Bizcommunity

This week’s relishing read illuminates the effects of a lack of trust in the South African workplace, and its significant barrier to organisational performance, employee engagement, and overall productivity.

South Africans don’t trust their workplaces – WHY? The trust gap between employees and employers in South Africa contributes to dysfunctional labour relations, increased turnover, and decreased employee well-being. This clearly does not bode well for sustainability and longevity!!!

At the Trust Based Leadership Academy, we believe that trust in leadership CAN be rebuilt! It requires that leaders turn off ‘auto-pilot’ and focus on leading intentionally and deliberately. Give us a shout and let us work together in creating a leadership culture across your organisation that is sustainable AND measurable, built on the foundation of TRUST.
