When I delivered a keynote about building trust in remote and hybrid work scenarios, I said, “if you can’t trust your employees to work from home, unsupervised, you have the wrong employees.” Someone then asked me, “how do you hire trustworthy employees?”
When we interview employees, we typically focus on their technical and professional capabilities. Those fall into the “competence” component of trustworthiness. But it’s not enough. Sometimes, we add some of the “soft skills,” but we are often not trained enough to assess those.
Rarely, if ever, do we do anything to answer the question: is this a trustworthy employee? This episode will address: (1) Before starting the interview process, (2) Prework, addressing the “who you are?” (3) First impression, (4) The interview itself, and (5) The relativity of trust—why it’s important to have a team interview.
