Antoinette Weibel thinks trust rocks! As a researcher and professor at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, Antoinette has devoted much of her life to the study of trust, specifically in the workplace. Traci cold-called Antoinette, and what resulted is a multifaceted and fascinating conversation on trust, vulnerability, and why trust has eroded in society and at work over the past 25 years.\xa0\nOn this episode of The Sidewalk Talk podcast, Traci gets the chance to ask Antoinette all about her research on trust and how trust, or a lack thereof, colors us both as employees and leaders. Together, the two explore trust within organizations, employee engagement and wellness, and what Antoinette hopes will shift in the future when it comes to trust in the workplace. Their conversation wraps up with Antoinette sharing her top three ways to cultivate trust: taking an interest in your employees, listening to those employees, and then finding things to appreciate about them.
