Lucinda talks to Adam Horne, co-founder of OpenOrg, who shares insights from his extensive experience in culture change and highlights alarming statistics about employee engagement and trust in the workplace.

Together they look into the challenges organisations face, particularly in smaller businesses, regarding miscommunication and the erosion of trust

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is a significant trust deficit within organisations, with studies indicating that around 67% of employees do not trust their employers. This lack of trust can lead to lower engagement and higher turnover rates.
Effective communication is crucial for building trust. Organisations should focus on improving communication flow internally and externally, ensuring that employees understand their roles, expectations, and the company culture.
Developing a transparency charter can help define what transparency means within an organisation. This charter serves as a guide for leadership on how to handle communication and sets clear expectations for employees regarding what information will be shared.
Organisations should take proactive steps to address transparency and trust issues rather than waiting for problems to arise. This includes documenting policies, clarifying communication around working hours, and being honest about what frameworks are in place.

BEST MOMENTS

"67% of employees don't trust their employer. That's a huge majority, it's over two thirds. It's a big, big number."

"Four in ten hiring managers have admitted to lying to candidates during the interview process about culture, about role expectations."

"Transparency is not extreme. It doesn't have to mean that we're asking CEOs to suddenly open up everyone's salaries and bonuses."

"If you don't have a career development framework in place, document that and tell people that and be open about that."
