How do we build trust in today's world of work?
Low trust grinds productivity to a halt.
Sometimes trust gets eroded inadvertently, through misunderstandings, conflict or lack of clarity.
Sometimes uncertainty and change can knock our trust.
And sometimes we find ourselves starting from a place of distrust – where history, baggage and sheer exhaustion gets our back up.
How do we build trust in today’s world of work? When everyone’s busy, when things are uncertain, we can’t always see each other, and some of us have never even met in person?
In this video Productivity Ninjas Grace Marshall and Lee Cottier share some thoughts from our Leading Hybrid Teams, Delegate Like a Productivity Ninja and Struggle workshops.

Making Hybrid Working REALLY Work
So, “Hybrid Working” is definitely here to stay. But other than sorting out all those endless online meetings (eeek!), what are the deeper effects and consequences of this radical experiment?
In this short webinar, Lee & Grace explore what’s changed, what’s happening now, and where we might go next. How has this radical re-definition of where and how our work is done altered things for us as individuals, households, teams and organisations?
And where might there still be things we need to fine-tune? We’ll be looking at aspects of communications and team dynamics, but also important issues in wellbeing, accessibility and inclusion – and the possible future of the blended physical and digital workplace.
