Trust and Employee Engagement

Over the years, there have been several studies that show a direct correlation from employee engagement and business results.  Engaged employees are more innovative, give their best at work, take less sick time, stay with companies longer and the list goes on and on.

I recently came across an infographic on Inc.com that shows the real costs of bad bosses.  There were several parts that caught my attention.  Here are just a few:

·         Three out of four employees report that their boss is the most stressful part of their job

·         65% said they would take a new boss over a pay raise

·         The average cost to replace a minimum wage employee is $3,500 (includes recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training and reduced productivity). 

Keep in mind It’s much higher for a knowledge worker! 

If you want to view the full infographic, followthis link.

So why am I writing about this?  Because there is a real need for leadership and a real value to an organization that has it.  At FranklinCovey, we believe that there are 4 cores to a great leader:

 

·         Inspire Trust

·         Clarify Purpose

·         Align Systems

·         Unleash Talent

The first of the 4 Cores is Inspire Trust.  The reason that this is first is because trust is The Performance Multiplier that affect everything in your organization.  Trust is the number one leadership competency needed today.  It is a measurable, trainable and learnable skill.

We also know that trust has a direct correlation to employee engagement.  The number one driver of employee engagement is trust!  The most leverage can be found between a supervisor and their direct report.  If organizations focus on instilling trust in their culture (beginning with the leaders), they can dramatically affect their speed and cost!  Read an article titled, How the Best Leaders Build Trust, written by Stephen M.R. Covey, author of the best-selling leadership book, The Speed of Trust.

Lastly, when organizations are going through change (downsizing, merger, systems, etc.) the leaders that focus on exhibiting trustworthy behaviors during the change, yield the best results.  Click here to watch a video that will explain more.

If this intriguing to you, then consider joining us for one of our complementary executive sessions titled, Creating a Culture of Trust  February19th - Dallas.

 

Seats are open to senior leaders and executives and training decision makers and HR leaders.  Please contact me today to RSVP.

Speed of Trust Results

Yesterday, I attended a keynote with over 100 DFW leaders to hear best-selling author, Stephen M.R. Covey deliver his message on Leading at the Speed of Trust.  Stephen started the morning with his story about how he went fly fishing several years ago.  He explained how he couldn’t see the fish in the stream until he put on a pair of polarized sunglasses.  Once he had them on, he could see fish… a lot of fish.  He related this to trust in the simple explanation of our paradigms.  Trust is everywhere.  Until we “put on the glasses to see it”, we might not see it either.  Watch the video below narrated by Stephen for a further explanation.

During yesterday’s keynote, participants got to sample our Speed of Trust Cards that we use when delivering training for clients (see samples below).  These cards provide a detailed description of The 4 Cores of Credibility and the 13 Behaviors of a High Trust Leader.  They set clear definitions for each of the cores and behaviors.  They also define the counterfeits for each behavior so that participants can recognize the difference.

When our clients apply The Speed of Trust Process to their organization and make it a part of their culture, they typically see Spectacular Results!  We have several client testimonials, but one of the most well-known client videos we have is from Frito Lay.
