 Rebuilding Employee Trust
A lack of trust can also be fostered by incompetence, a lack of direction, or a sense that the organization is floating.” In other words, trust is the result of countless management decisions made over a long period that help employees feel secure about their own--and the organization’s--future.
Companies with high trust levels give employees unvarnished information about company performance; explain the rationale behind management and HR decisions (such as compensation and promotion); and encourage employee involvement and information-sharing.
To maintain the trust levels in your organization, you have to remember that trust, in and of itself, isn’t the end result you should be aiming for.

This includes knowledge of the company's management and leadership, and the position that a company may take on an important issue, such as the environment, or health and safety legislation.
One, "deference," is generic; people with high levels of deference (e.g., they trust most companies to do the right thing when faced with a crisis, or they believe that most companies are "honest and truthful") tend to trust all companies more.
As many corporate executives have learned, this trust is hard to earn and easy to lose, and while some aspects of trust can be addressed through good corporate communications, often when you lose trust, advertising and public relations will only do part of the job in regaining it.
