The Neuroscience of Trust

Managers have tried various strategies and perks to boost employee engagement – all with little impact on long-term retention and performance.

But now, neuroscience offers some answers. Through his research on the brain chemical oxytocin – shown to facilitate collaboration and teamwork, professor Paul J Zak  at Claremont Graduate University, has developed a framework for creating a culture of trust and building a happier, more loyal, and more productive workforce.

By measuring people’s oxytocin levels in response to various situations – first in the lab and later in the workplace – Zak identified eight key management behaviors that stimulate oxytocin production and generate trust.

Ultimately, Zak concludes, managers can cultivate trust by setting a clear direction, giving people what they need to see it through, and then getting out of their way. In short, to boost engagement, treat people like responsible adults.
 

“To get to the next level of greatness, depends on the quality of the culture, which depends on the quality of the relationships, which depends on the quality of the conversations. Everything happens through conversations!”

The late Judith E. Glaser, Benchmark, CEO & Founder
