Building and Sustaining Trust
Create a high-trust environment that boosts employee engagement and drives collective organisational success
Great Place to Work has surveyed over 100 million employees worldwide, revealing a core truth about exceptional workplaces: Trust is the foundation.
Trust shapes how managers and leaders inspire and guide their teams. High-trust organisations consistently outperform their low-trust counterparts by 2-3 times in stock market returns. Employees in these environments experience 74% less stress and 106% more energy, driving productivity and well-being.
In this workshop, we explore the science of trust – how our brains are wired for it and how we cultivate it within ourselves and others.
You’ll gain insights into building trust to enhance team cohesion, foster open communication, and strengthen company culture.
By understanding the psychology behind trust, you’ll be equipped to create a high-trust environment that boosts employee engagement and drives collective organisational success.
Leadership Workshops: Building and Sustaining Trust
Why hold a Trust Workshop
Boost employee engagement
Trust is a key factor in creating an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and committed to their work. Trust enables teams to collaborate openly and effectively, reducing communication barriers and a lack of teamwork.
Foster a culture of openness and feedback
A lack of trust can make people hesitant to share feedback or ideas, stifling growth and innovation. The workshop can teach teams how to create a more open, feedback driven environment.
Improve Decision-Making and Transparency
In low-trust environments, decision-making can become slower and less transparent. This workshop can encourage open communication and more effective, confident decision making.
Increase Trust in Leadership Teams
When employees don’t trust leadership, it can result in disengagement and resistance. This workshop can re-establish credibility and rapport with their employees.
Who Trust Workshops Are For
Teams and employees at all levels benefit from effective Communication Skills
Leaders hold Trust workshops for:
- Newly formed teams that need to establish trust quickly to collaborate effectively and build positive working relationships.
- Existing teams who are experiencing conflict or work inefficiency breakdowns. Understanding what’s broken from a trust perspective can help in rebuilding the team.
- Leadership teams who need to rebuild and foster trust with the group, enabling them to make more effective decision making and help drive business progress.
- Managers and supervisors as they are responsible for building and maintaining trust within their teams.
- Teams/managers/leaders who are undergoing change or restructuring. Trust is often shaken up during periods of uncertainty, so maintaining stability and confidence is crucial.
- Cross functional teams who may struggle with trust due to a lack of familiarity.

What Participants say
It was incredibly valuable to learn how to create a safe space where all voices can be heard. The workshop helps us understand how to build trust and engage with team members who may not always feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
I didn’t realise how much trust impacts our ability to collaborate effectively. This workshop helped me understand how to be more intentional in my communication and actions to create an environment where people feel valued and heard.
This workshop really opened my eyes to the subtle ways trust is built and eroded in daily interactions. It gave me practical tools to foster stronger relationships and a more open, supportive team culture.
