The importance of Trust in a Company

Success in any company starts with its people and having a strong Team. A group of people just working together isn’t enough. The foundations of a team lie within Trust.

Trust enables a team members to feel valued, motivated, and engaged. And the best way to cultivate them? Team building. The key to ensuring these qualities are built and maintained is intentional team-building and team development efforts.

Why Trust Matters?

When teams trust each other, they feel safe to communicate, collaborate, and take risks without fear. This is important for any business to develop. This in turn boosts morale, reduces stress, and increases engagement. Without trust, teams struggle with low motivation, fear of failure, and disengagement. 25% of UK workers have left a job due to a lack of trust among colleagues. In addition to this, over 50% of the employees surveyed consider trust a major factor in their decision to remain with an employer.  It has been found that trust in the work place can increase productivity by 90% and can triple job satisfaction.

A culture of trust also supports mental well-being. As it can reduce stress by enabling a sense of belonging, and creating a more positive work environment. Teams that trust each other are not only more effective but also more resilient in the face of challenges. It is important to consider employees mental wellbeing. 92% of employees now feel their mental wellbeing being considered in a workplace to be important.

How can Team Building Help?
