Problem: Deepening Organizational Distrust

Organizational distrust is the silent killer in many organizations. If physicians don’t trust administration, meaningful collaboration is impossible. If employees don’t trust management, buy-in is non-existent. And if executives don’t trust each other, silos are created that effectively undermine all areas of the organization’s operations. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, the underlying cause is not a lack of teamwork, it is a lack of trust.

Once distrust infects the organization, it can be nearly impossible to stop. And while it eats away at the very fabric of your organization, you might not be aware that it is even there – until it is too late. But there are telltale signs, including rising employee turnover, decreasing employee satisfaction, physician defections, increasing rates of absenteeism, poor meeting attendance, and a rising lack of compliance to policies and procedures. If you are experiencing one or more of these, you might have need to worry.

Solution: Employee Trust Assessment

Employee trust is the foundation of every great organization. Conversely, employee distrust is a disease that slowly erodes your very foundation. To uncover cancers that might be eating away at the heart and soul of your organization, sabotaging strategic planning efforts, minimizing organizational growth, and impeding cultural transformation, strategicplanningMD offers the Employee Trust Assessment, which evaluates the following areas:

  • Relationships throughout the organization.
  • The effectiveness of feedback loops.
  • The impact of destructive, collusive behavior.
  • Levels of trust throughout the organization and organizational loyalty.
  • Potential harassment issues.
  • Readiness for change.

The Employee Trust Assessment provides a baseline for future transformation efforts and shows the linkages between employee satisfaction, leadership, and corporate culture. From the information derived from the Employee Trust Assessment, an action plan is prepared as a prelude to the implementation of any corporate culture initiative.
