An opinion piece published on Entrepreneur argues that so-called 'care-centered leadership'—combining high expectations with coaching, feedback and support—builds trust and resilience within teams. The author contends that asking employees what they need and following through strengthens engagement, while distributing workloads and developing others reduces burnout and dependence on a few key people.
Edelman's long-running trust survey found that trust among coworkers has dropped to its lowest level since the survey began. The firm links the decline to broader instability in the global economy that appears to be spilling into workplace relationships.
A new report finds that many workers are overstating how much they actually use artificial intelligence tools at work, largely to satisfy employer expectations. The data indicates that as pressure to adopt AI grows, employees' trust in leadership's guidance on AI issues is declining.
A political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis found that just 13% of Gen Z respondents believe most people can be trusted, while 74% agreed that 'you can't be too careful' when dealing with others. Researchers attribute this low trust to formative experiences shaping the youngest members of today's workforce.
Employees are increasingly suspicious of coworkers who use AI tools, largely because organizations haven't established clear guidelines on when and how AI use is appropriate. This ambiguity is creating friction and eroding trust among team members who lack a shared understanding of acceptable practices.
Despite many employers reversing AI-related layoffs over the past year, 53% of Americans still fear AI could cost someone in their household a job, according to new commentary from Gartner's Jackie Swanson. She argues most companies have detailed AI adoption plans but lack honest strategies for addressing the impact on employees, career pacing, and leadership pipelines. Contract software firm Ironclad offers a contrasting approach, framing AI as a tool for skill-building and business growth rather than job cuts, using peer training and upskilling programs to maintain worker confidence.
