New Online Resource Helps Managers Improve Employee Trust, Productivity Issues

SAN DIEGO (May 1, 2008) - A new website launched by organizational trust leader, TrustWorks Group, Inc., offers expert advice on tackling workplace trust issues and easy-to-use tools for leading team building workshops.

According to Cynthia Olmstead, founder and president of TrustWorks Group, the company's new e-commerce site (www.TrustWorksGroup.com) and free monthly e-newsletter helps business owners and managers identify an often elusive root cause of employee productivity, morale and high turnover issues.

"Trust is the glue that binds an organization and its members together as a cohesive, functioning entity," says Olmstead. "It's often the most difficult issue to identify, but the most important, when addressing overall problems associated with employee satisfaction and productivity."

To help organizations identify and address these issues, TrustWorks Group offers a series of accessible, easy-to-use products designed to give managers the skills needed to lead their own team building workshops, such as:

Myself As A Trust Builder™
Enables participants to identify their trust-building skills, strengths and areas for improvement. Participants take an assessment with 28 questions based on four core elements of trust.

Leader as Trust Builder™
Having strong, effective skills to build trust in the workplace is recognized as a valuable leadership asset. A self-assessment or a more powerful, confidential 360-degree assessment is at the core of this workshop. Designed for any individual in a leadership position - executives, managers, supervisors - this program addresses the economic impact of trust, as well as how to rebuild eroded trust and move forward with positive results.

Great Teams™
In the TrustWorks! Great Teams workshop, a team quickly discovers what it is doing that contributes to or hinders its effectiveness. The guide explains how to lead the team through assessment, diagnosis and planning for improvement.

PACE™ Palette
Find out how people within an organization prefer to work, take in information and interact with others. This insightful exercise is used by organizations to enhance interpersonal relationships and group effectiveness.

TrustWorks Group also offers a free monthly e-newsletter with expert advice on management issues, industry news, case studies, book reviews and more.
