In today’s video blog Renee’ Watkins, CAI’s HR Advisor and member of the Advice and Resolution team, offers helpful tips to strengthen relationships between managers and their employees. Renee’ starts by explaining that good employees leave organizations for several reasons, including a poor relationship with their manager.
Managers can’t force their direct reports to trust them. Instead, Renee’ suggests that managers demonstrate through their actions that they can be trusted and ultimately leave the decision up to their employees. She shares the following tips and explains how they assist in helping managers build trust:
-Be transparent
-Be a coach
-Be accountable
-Be and have a positive attitude
Renee’ goes on to explain that having positive relationships between employees and managers is critical. She says without a strong foundation, the employee/manager relationship is shaky, unstable and unreliable at best.
