Chief executives and heads of HR have been wrestling for years with the question, “How can I create a great workplace?”
To answer that question, follow the evidence. The research asserts that leaders in those so-called “best companies” lean heavily on that one human value that not all so-called “leaders” actually possess.
Trust.
In many of my own employee surveys conducted with client companies, I have found that management is transparent in its business practices and transparent in how they communicate with employees. And transparency begets trust.
