A 2017 national survey conducted by Ultimate Software and the Center for Generational Kinetics (CGK) showed that 93% of employees stated that trust in their direct boss is “essential to staying satisfied at work” and half of those employees relayed that without trust in their managers, they don’t put forth their best work.
Gallup data from 2015 showed that managers account for 70% of variance in employee engagement levels, and disengaged employees are employees who leave the company and take talented employees with them.
Managers who have been trained and coached for leadership have the best chance of rallying their departments to do their best work. Unfortunately, all too often, individuals are dropped or promoted into positions without really knowing how to manage or lead teams due to an opening that needs to be filled or seniority. Inexperienced managers who have not been coached can have disastrous effects on a team.
Experienced managers who erode the trust their employees have in them can be just as devastating.
Employees are generally looking for a supportive leader, not just a “boss,” and will stand behind a leader they trust. If employees don’t trust the one who is supposed to lead them, they will look elsewhere for opportunities and take all of their talent and knowledge to benefit someone else.
