Trust your employees…. Please. When I started Marvel there were a few things I was adamant about doing, one of them was trusting everyone who works for me. It was based on listening to candidates and clients feedback over the years but also based on my own principles. I have never understood why you would put the ultimate faith in someone and give them a job and then immediately not trust them. If you need more time from home because its the school holidays go for it.. If you need to go to an appointment during work thats cool, just get the job done If you want to work for me and you think you can do it on a part time basis lets look at this.. If you want to book time off, make sure all is covered and then just put it in my diary. If you want to hit the gym after the school run, go for it. Start the day feeling good. Recently I put the ultimate trust in our employees and started a 4 day week on 100% pay. I trust them to get the job done. So far its paying dividends. I am no business guru but I am confident if the trust is there you will see an increase in performance. The world of work is changing. Put your faith in your employees and they will repay you. Cheers 🫡
These are pillars of true leadership in my opinion and will certainly get the best out of your team and as a result create loyalty to you and your business and drive down recruitment costs.
Trust is so underrated. If there was one value that any company should ever focus on then it has to be trust. It underpins absolutely everything.
So often, managers dont have a remote work issue (or any other things you mentioned), they have a trust issue!
Well said Rich Howell 💪🏼
Trust or replace those who aren't trustworthy, yeah))
The point of a face picture with nearly half the face covered by sunglasses is what exactly?
I agree with you 100%. Trust empowers people and autonomy gives them a sense of freedom & control over their day. Managing tasks is less stressful when you don’t have a figure hanging over shoulder all the time.
Congratulations Rich. Hope all goes according to plan...

1moWell said. Trust leads to improved results, productivity and morale. And ocassionally unprecedented achievements that micro-management and policing of processes couldn’t ever hope to attain. Which is not to say it should naively be given, but it’s the place to start vs ‘having to earn it’. Most people respond to trust by being responsible and if they don’t, then you have a ‘growth opportunity’….;-)….
