We all know the importance of trust in our personal relationships. This equally applies to professional relationships. In the next few years, public services in Wales are going to undergo major change. The link between trust and its impact on public service staff cannot be underestimated. Or, the old adage, ‘low trust costs you money!’
Working with Good Practice Wales, we held a free seminar featuring Professor Ros Searle of Coventry University [Opens in new window] who has developed a trust model based on extensive academic research as well as examples of the impact of trust on professional relationships during periods of change in public services.
The seminar shared the theory and practical case studies from public studies in England and Scotland.
