Trust is the primary key to building good relationships with individuals that we come in contact with, including staff, peers, clients, and families. Trust between team members and within any team environment is crucial to what makes dissimilar between group individuals working together in service of their objectives and a high-performing team. A lot of published studies show and explain that trust between management and employees is the most valued determinant of job satisfaction.
First, I must develop a good culture of trust within a team, and this will take time and effort. It is important to me as a senior care assistant to develop the right environment when supporting the staff to build and develop trust, to do this I must model behavior and demonstrate my commitment to my team and organization. To support and develop good trust culture within my team I will use some methods. For example, I must be open for regular communication, and self-disclosure to tell a bit more about the real me (hobbies, interests), get to know individuals personally, encourage debate, and develop a feedback culture.
In my workplace, I fully trust my team, and the best is always expected from them as I would most likely not be disappointed. If trust and respect are portrayed from the start, then it is most likely that my team will follow this and vice versa with the same respect and trust. To continue, I also do my best to persuade independence and encourage it in my team. I would also be disrespected and most likely disliked if I did not encourage them to do their best for a successful outcome and micromanaged every move made. From my team's perspective, they would feel that I have no trust in them and so they would, in turn, distrust me.
Furthermore, my method for good relationships is always to have respect for others and respect will be granted in turn, so I treat my team in the way that I would like to be treated. Thus I must institute an interactive work relationship from the very start, and in doing so, a positive attitude must be displayed all of the time. I always like to see the best in the team and encourage them to become successful and achieve success professionally and personally. This helps establish a relationship with staff that is strong and trustworthy.
Lastly, to be an excellent senior care assistant, I provide my team with accolades and constructive feedback. Within doing this, it establishes the work bond/relationship between us, and commitment and loyalty are set between my team as they would feel that I am legitimate and trustworthy. To conclude, as a senior care assistant, it is my role and responsibility to form trust between my team, management, and other professionals. This is succeeded by trusting others, encouraging staff to be independent, respecting others, also offering accolades and constructive feedback. When all of this is done, I will be able to acknowledge that trustworthy attributes are displayed and that they trust me.
