Trust is the common denominator driving impact across the multi-stakeholder ecosystem–with employees at the nexus.
Employee trust radiates outward to influence perception, reputation, decision-making and trust levels across all other stakeholder audiences.
Our recent research, conducted among 6,500 full-time employees across six markets and six industries, underscores the business-critical nature of employee trust.
Strong employee trust drives business performance
Employee trust directly drives positive performance outcomes for businesses, both internally (boosting loyalty and engagement) and externally (increasing advocacy).
Trust in a prospective employer is the most powerful choice driver, second only to reward
Trust and reputation in the company are the #2 factors in choosing a new employer, stronger than culture or financial strength, and second only to salary and benefits.
Ethics are paramount in the relationship, but a tailored approach is required
Trust in one’s employer is based on Integrity and Dependability, but there are differences across countries, industries, and workforce types. A tailored approach is needed to build trust across employee segments.
Gen Z workforce expects employers to step up
As the younger working generation, Gen Z trust their employers but have high expectations, especially regarding societal commitment, transparency, and values alignment.
Employees prioritize their own needs in times of uncertainty
As the world has become more uncertain, trust is anchored in how well employees are treated and made to feel valued. External dimensions like customer care and societal impact have become less essential.
