Great workplaces are built through the day-to-day relationships that employees experience. The key factor in common in these relationships is ‘trust’. From the employee’s perspective, a great workplace is one where they: Trust the people they work for; Have ‘pride’ in what they do; and ‘enjoy’ the people they work with. Building high quality relationships in the work place, trust, pride and camaraderie are the pillars of Great Place to Work institute.

Trust is the defining principle of great workplaces – created through management’s credibility, the respect with which employees feel they are treated, and the extent to which employees expect to be treated fairly. The degree of pride and levels of authentic connection and camaraderie employees feel with one are additional essential components.
