Helping Create A Culture Of High Trust And High Performance

It is important to imbibe a workplace culture that values and encourages trust amongst its consecutive members. According to neuroscientific studies, it has been found that an environment that promotes trust is known to reduce social frictions, while allowing colleagues to work cooperatively, thereby increasing the productivity and efficiency of the entire workforce. 

You might have streamline processes in your organization and ensured that each department works efficiently after rigorous testing, improving and measuring. However, it is not essential that your company would fare well and function in the most optimal manner, if you neglect one important aspect of any workplace environment. 

This important aspect that is being referred to is the culture of the workplace. It has been found according to various neuroscientific studies that organizational trust is an important booster that helps people in a workforce avoid conflicts amongst themselves and strive towards completing a particular task as a team, thereby bringing about higher standards of innovation and productivity in the company. The release of oxytocin in the brain allows individuals to better trust their colleagues and this in turn encourages them to give their best in achieving something in a collective manner. 

Trust in one dimension in any business model that always has the scope for improvement. Recognizing excellence, creating challenges, delegating in a generous manner, enabling a culture of job crafting, sharing information broadly, building relationships intentionally, facilitating the growth of a person on a holistic level and being authentic and vulnerable are some techniques which companies can utilize in order to promote a high trust culture in their organization. 


A consequent result of creating a culture that keeps trust on such a high pedestal will result in the realization of a workforce that is well equipped to handle and provide high performance, thereby improving the productivity and efficiency of the organization.
