Trust is the foundation for building healthy, high performing teams. Like a pebble thrown into a pond, trust has a ripple effect on everyone throughout the organization. Team members take their cues about how we treat each other by observing both our actions and our words. And through our leadership influence, we create the conditions for building a trusting, respectful workplace.

This learning session is designed to help participants understand the critical importance of trust in building and sustaining workplace relationships to promote teamwork, collaboration and achievement of goals.
