Tips for Increasing Employee Trust in HR

(From Harvard Business Review) Research shows that employees are more likely to turn to their organization's HR department when HR leaders position themselves as coaches, mentors, and mediators. Organizational leadership experts Joseph Grenny and Derek Cullimore offer these tips for organizations to cultivate an environment that supports HR leadership:

1. Make coaching more widely available.
2. Leverage mentorship opportunities to empower employees to resolve interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.
3. Invest in mediation training to support employees when the situation the employee facing isn’t solvable alone.
