March 10 – When Trust is Broken in the Workplace
Presented by Lizz Hawkey, SHRM-CP, HR and Volunteer Manager, Wellness House
We can all break trust at times in the workplace – deadlines aren’t met, communication breaks down, slights are perceived. The goal is not to be perfect and promise it won’t happen again (because it might). The goal is to learn how to address broken trust – when our trust is broken and when we break the trust of others. Learning to recognize the different ways trust can be built and broken and developing a common language to discuss these instances is the first step to navigating the process that can lead to stronger, healthier work relationships. When colleagues are working better together, patients can receive their best care too.
