Be trustworthy. Building trust is about being diplomatic with people, being good at conflict resolution, showing the right credentials, having strong communication skills and knowing how to build rapport. It isn’t something you have by being likeable – you have to work at it. This is not only true with your employer but your fellow employees as well. When your boss tells you that they are NOT worried with your performance then this can be seen as a sign of trust. Building trust today is a very important skill. Your first step towards being trustworthy can be to stop partaking in the company gossip. This has brought down many an employee before and will bring down many in the future. The sooner you stop concerning yourself with what others are getting away with the sooner you can focus on your career and building positive relationships with your fellow employees.
