Trust
Our 20 years of research have proven that trust between managers and employees is the primary defining characteristic of the very best workplaces.
Trust and Great Workplaces
At the heart of our definition of a great place to work – one where employees "trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with" - is the idea that a great workplace is measured by the quality of three, interconnected relationships that exist there:
- The relationship between employees and management.
- The relationship between employees and their jobs/company.
- The relationship between employees and other employees.
The Trust Model©
Great Place to Work® Institute’s unique Trust Model© is the foundation for all of our proprietary tools. The Dimensions of the Model© speak to the qualities that define and strengthen these relationships, such as credibility, fairness, and respect.
The simplicity and utility of our Model© make it possible for companies and employees everywhere to understand our approach and what we can help them achieve.
