Employee Trust - A Key Factor for Their Success at Work

Trust is a fundamental element for employees' success in their work. When they feel supported and respected, they are more motivated to take initiative and fully invest in their tasks. A study conducted by Gallup shows that employees who feel valued are more likely to succeed in their roles because they are more inclined to give their best. Trust, which is built through concrete actions such as transparency, recognition, and a collaborative work environment, plays a crucial role in team engagement and performance. 

This trust is also a key lever for talent retention. Employees who do not trust their work environment or their manager are more likely to leave the company. On the other hand, organizations that cultivate a climate of trust promote long-term employee engagement. These employees feel more invested and are less likely to seek new opportunities elsewhere, which reduces turnover and creates stability within teams. 

One of the most critical moments for establishing this trust is during the onboarding process. A structured and well-designed onboarding program is the foundation upon which the relationship of trust between the employee and the company will be built. From day one, new employees must feel welcomed, informed, and supported. A good onboarding process is not just about completing administrative formalities; it must offer a true immersion into the company culture and a clear understanding of expectations. By creating a safe and supportive environment for integration, the company lays the groundwork for a solid and lasting relationship. 

In addition to fostering retention, an effective onboarding process also plays a key role in the long-term development of performance. When an employee quickly understands their role and knows they can count on continuous support, they are more likely to fully engage in their tasks and contribute to the team's goals. Conversely, poorly designed onboarding can lead to confusion, frustration, and a lack of motivation, which can harm both individual and team performance. 

In summary, establishing trust from day one of onboarding is essential to ensure the long-term success of employees and, consequently, the success of the company.
