Posted by Most workers feel like they have no one to talk to about problems at work. Unsurprisingly, many people are leaving their jobs to find better ones. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report says that 51% of workers are looking for a new job and that most worldwide are quiet quitting, even though worker stress is at a record high.
Making a culture of trust, loyalty, and good performance is not hard at all. When you care about someone, you treat and talk to them differently. We spend more time and energy on the people who cause trouble. That tiny percentage of people get most of our time and attention. We base our work on rules and procedures that make it hard not to treat the rest of our team like a commodity.
Here are four things employers can do to bring back a culture of trust, openness, and employee’s loyalty:
1. Show your workers you appreciate them.
When people feel like you care about them, they know you care, and when they know you care, they feel more connected to the group and are more likely to stay with it and be loyal. If you want a different result, you must be able to do some things differently.

2. Don’t believe everything you think you know about people.
Check to see if you are making assumptions that are good or negative. This is important because our beliefs affect how we act and talk to others. You get a very different result when you work based on positive thoughts.
3. Take the time to talk to people and learn about them.
What do they care about in their work and in their daily lives? What drives them or gives them energy? You will be able to talk and bond better. More and more people want to feel like their work is essential. When you invest time and attention, you can reinforce and connect people to purpose.
4. Look for ways to get people interested.
Too often, we do things because we have to. When you involve and engage people, you make them loyal and likely to stay with you. This can be done by having people hire their peers, giving them the power to solve problems and streamline processes, and asking for and using their ideas and solutions to business issues.
