Do you feel like trust works both ways in your workplace?

With the sustained rise in remote or semi-remote roles, the importance of trust in the workplace is top of mind. But trust needs to work both ways, right? The question isn’t only "can employers trust their employees", it also needs to be "can employees trust their employers?"

Rachel Botsman is a trust expert, author and lecturer at Oxford University. She's passionate about challenging ideas around trust and humility and has been recognised as one of the world's 30 most influential management thinkers. Honoured as a young global leader by the World Economic Forum, Rachel’s TED Talks have garnered more than 5 million views.

Rachel defines trust as a confident relationship with the unknown and in this short snippet of a longer conversation she really helps us understand how we can cultivate it in our workplaces.

Viral Poet Cleo Wade: How to Foster Community in the Workplace

Cleo Wade describes herself as a friend and a community builder. She's the author of bestselling books - Heart Talk, poetic Wisdom for a Better Life and Where to Begin, a small book about your power to create big change. Cleo’s also got a new book coming out in May this year - pre-order it here!

From the data we collect here at Culture Amp, we know how important it is to give employees a chance to be heard, give feedback and share stories about their experience at work. Creating space for these conversations is important in the workplace and society at large. When we create space to come together and learn from each other, truly amazing things can happen. One of the 2024 workplace trends we identified in our first episode of the year is the idea of commute-worthy experiences. Basically, we're asking companies to truly think about what type of experience they want people to have in the office.

If we can hear what Cleo has to say, we’ve got a much better chance of creating workplaces that justify their employee’s commute.

Scott Shigeoka: Activating your curiosity will change the world around you

Do we lose access to curiosity as we age? Or is it like a muscle that's always there, but just needs to be activated and strengthened?

Scott Keoni Shigeoka is an internationally recognized curiosity expert, speaker and author and he's known for translating research into strategies that promote positive wellbeing and connected relationships around the globe including at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and through his popular courses at the University of Texas in Austin.

In this vibrant and very human conversation with Damon Klotz, Scott helps us remember that we have the capacity to explore and explains just how to use exploration to connect better with others. He tells us how curiosity can boost morale, increase collaboration, and how it can ease conflict and tension in the workplace and everywhere else.

Scott also encourages us all to start being an 'admitter', explaining how understanding the limits of your knowledge will always help people believe that you’re not completely out of touch.
