Trust is not what you think it is. It is not absolute or universal. Trust is relative. The same behavior that would cause one person to trust you could cause another person to distrust you. The level of trust someone has in you is the product of their trustfulness (their willingness to trust other people) and your trustworthiness. There is almost (I said ALMOST) nothing you can do about the former, and everything you can do about the latter. Because of that, you must evaluate your own trustworthiness one relationship at a time, separately. Odds are, though, that the same behaviors that are holding you back from being more trusted in one relationship are holding you back from being more trusted in other relationships. Welcome to The Trust Show. I’m your host, Yoram Solomon, a top 10 trust expert and researcher, the author of the book of trust, and the creator of the Trust Habits® workshop that helps people and organizations form new habits that change old behaviors, build trust, and transform organizations. In this educational podcast, I will challenge you to think differently about trust, through the 8 laws of trust and the 6 components of trustworthiness. I will share my own stories, experiences of others, trust research, and sometimes, reflect on a news item. And through those, I will show you how to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust. Because the answer to this question will have the biggest impact on your personal and professional, success or failure: can you be trusted?

I truly believe that the HR department is ideally positioned to build trust in the company. I really do. But the first step for HR to be building trust in the organization is for HR to be trusted by the employees. Unfortunately, they are not. A study showed that 75% of employees don’t trust that their HR leader cares about their needs , and only 9% felt their HR leader would advocate for them, while 37% felt HR was more concerned about advocating for the organization.
But why is that? It’s simple: the employees don’t hire, fire, or pay the salaries of HR employees. Management does, and management is more concerned with legal compliance in the employment area than building trust.
And why is that? What if I told you that we have a culture of litigation in whish 2.3% of our GDP is spent on civil litigation, and that the top litigation area is employment?
But what if I told you that this culture of litigation is caused by a single event that happened one night, just over 50 years ago? That question gave me my first TEDx talk in 2018, and after the first part of this podcast episode, I included that entire TEDx talk.
