I think that all the researchers agreed that trust is a most important element of efficient, synergistic, and harmonious working environment. In a crunch situation usually top management ask, that how to maintain or build trust between the workforce? As per my research work, I have found that there are five excellent ways of maintaining trust between the workforce.
1: Integrity
It is the foundation of trust in any organization. Integrity must begin at the top and then move down. This means, among other things, keeping promises and always telling the truth, no matter how difficult it might be.
2: Communication
Communication is important, since it provides the artery for information and truth. By communicating the organization's vision, management defines where it's going. By communicating its values, the methods for getting there are established.
3: Equality among employees
Trust is established when even the newest rookie, a part-timer, or the lowest paid employee feels important and part of the team. This begins with management not being aloof, as well as getting out and meeting the troops. This should be followed by leaders seeking opinions and ideas (and giving credit for them), knowing the names of employees and their families and treating one and all with genuine respect.
4: Teamwork
Trust results when employees feel everyone is pulling together to accomplish a shared vision, rather than a series of personal agendas.
5: Do what is wright
We all know intuitively what's "right" in nearly every situation. Following this instinctive sense, and ignoring any personal consequences will nearly always create respect from those around us.
