Simple Ideas to build Trust with your Team!

Fun Activities to Foster Trust

1) Make sure to consider the needs of both introverts and extroverts when planning team events, and allow introverts time to prepare for participation.

2) Create fun activities like potlucks, games, and Q&A sessions about culture, ethnic roots, and childhood memories to encourage bonding.

3) Provide the option for players to opt in or out of physically demanding game activities to alleviate anxiety and increase enjoyment. Assign them a different role, such as scorekeeper or cheerleader, so they can still participate in the activity.

4) Organize a contest where participants can wear fun and goofy costumes or have a pajama day.

5) Take your team for lunch or dinner and encourage casual conversations to foster better relationships.

6) Laugh together! One way to strengthen relationships is through shared laughter, which can be a powerful bonding agent.

7) Participate as a team in community events and charitable activities.

Keeping your Word

1) Keep your promises and explain any changes to avoid miscommunication.

2) Celebrate small and big wins!

3) Give Credit where credit is due! It's important to acknowledge the ideas and contributions of your team. NEVER TAKE CREDIT FOR THEIR IDEAS!

4) Ensure Fairness and equity. Team members see everything, and it's the right thing to do!

5) Coach with kindness and truthfulness. People are more willing to listen and trust when you show empathy and understanding.

6) Providing timely and transparent information is crucial. It can be discouraging for team members when company changes occur without proper communication.

7) Be vulnerable and humble. You don't know everything, and you need the support of your team to achieve goals!
