Right Fit Leading: Telework Benefits

Companies are trying to determine what “back to work” should look like, and workers are trying to take advantage of the positive work life changes they found in COVID-19. As the workplace changes, we must pay attention to trustworthiness and performance as they relate to telework.

Trustworthiness is the quality of a person that inspires reliability. When it exists, behaviors like being respectful, honest, consistent, positive, and selfless will be evident. Managers who follow telework policies developed in response to COVID-19, or developed for other reasons, are building trust. Trust can then grow as emotions are shared and real issues are addressed professionally.
