NorthStar360 Business Solutions invites the business community to attend, The Role of Trust in Business, on Thursday, March 8. This half-day workshop takes place from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Providence Bank in Schererville and is designed to develop productive employees, an essential characteristic for those who are supervisors and managers.

In this workshop, participants will learn the definition and key elements of trust, as well as gain an appreciation for the need for collaboration in our interdependent society. Learners will evaluate the consequences of high and low trust within an organization and understand the importance of being trustworthy in building trust. Attendees will apply these principles directly to their workplace experience.

This workshop is part of the Compass Series workshop program, composed of 11 topics designed to increase personal effectiveness. These training materials have been used by several Fortune 500 companies including: AT&T, BP, Ford Motor Company and Hewlett Packard. Each workshop consists of a mixture of facilitated lectures and discussions and high-energy, interactive exercises to help participants internalize the principles and apply the lessons to workplace experience.

Two workshops remain for the 2011-2012 series, including The Role of Trust in Business on March 8 and The Integrity Model on April 12. Attendees can register for these workshops by contacting Susan Riddering at (219) 864-1576 or e-mail at susan@northstar360.com for complete details and pricing.
