How to rebuild trust

Relationships can be repaired - this is how
How to re-build trust
• Communicate, communicate and communicate…the 3 golden rules of any relationship.
• Honesty – from this day on be completely honest (including being honest with yourself. Denial will covertly back you into a corner)
• Keep commitments – do what you have said you will do
• Integrity – No half-truths and be brave enough to say the hard things
• Deal in good faith – a legal requirement in employment (s4 ERA)
– constructive, communicative, no deception at all.
• Respect – treat each other as equals
• Have shared or “mutually dependent” goals
• Take baby steps – recognise the small successes
• Retrain or induct the employee properly. Reintegrate with other staff on a better footing
• Performance manage – check things off for accountability. Give the employee a chance to start again and improve themselves and simultaneously give the employer relief that a process is being followed
• Use a private employment mediator or independent 3rd person
