In recent years, box checking has become increasingly popular as well. Have you met your quota for women on boards? Are you decreasing your carbon footprint? Diversity and inclusion? Check. Advisory firms love to build new boxes to keep themselves in business. Last year&#8217;s box was &#8220;Purpose&#8221; and this year it is ESG. Imagine the year that the &#8220;trust&#8221; box becomes the box of choice. If you need proof that a business case for trust exists, please request it by sending an email to: <a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x74;&#111;&#58;info&#64;&#x74;&#x72;&#x75;&#x73;&#x74;&#x61;&#99;&#114;ossa&#x6d;&#x65;&#x72;&#x69;&#x63;&#x61;&#46;&#99;om\" class=\"autohyperlink\">&#x69;n&#x66;o&#x40;t&#x72;&#117;s&#x74;a&#x63;r&#x6f;&#115;&#x73;&#97;m&#x65;r&#x69;c&#x61;&#46;&#x63;&#x6f;m<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">The following is a simple starting point to measure whether your employees trust you and trust each other.

(5-5=0). Your trust score is zero. Don&#8217;t expect much employee engagement, innovation or risk taking.<\/p>\n<p>Or your employees identify 8 positive behaviors from the first list and 2 negative from the second (8-2=6). Six is better than zero.<\/p>\n<p>Or 2 posItive and 8 negative (2-8= -6). Not a place ANYONE wants to work.
