>"The pandemic and remote work have accelerated a paradigm shift from contol to trust—a change that increases employee energy and engagement, says the CEO of freelance marketplace Worksome."

What is the best way to find out if you can trust somebody? Ernest Hemingway said the answer was simple: “To trust them.”  Trust is a trait that can only truly exist both ways. In the workplace, any new employee will join their team believing they can trust their employer to do right by them: to ensure they are paid enough and on time, to look after their well-being, and to help them achieve progression in their careers. The erosion of this trust may be immediate in the case of those working under particularly exploitative employers—those who have no interest in trusting their staff and see them merely as money-making tools.
