Episode 59: The Business Impact of Organizational Trust

Intuitively most of us would agree that organizational trust is important to build and maintain, especially in the current work environment fraught with turbulence. But, it's a bit of a squishy concept without any correlative ties to business impact. My guest on this episode, Kim Bohr, President-COO, Speaker, Author , touches on this very topic and dives into fresh market research conducted by SparkEffect (formerly Waldron and Torchiana) that surfaces the business impacts of organizational trust and how companies can better navigate workplace disruptions and negative events like layoffs to maintain or even build employee trust. The research also touches on the short and long-term impacts around the cost-cutting trend of flattening organizations and removing the middle management layer. *Super cool bonus for HR Snacks listeners: Kim and the team at SparkEffect were gracious enough to offer complimentary access to the new Trust in Turbulence report along with a helpful field guide resource for trust building and a complimentary consulting session with SparkEffect's Leadership Advisory team!
