The seminar should, but is not limited to, the following key topics: Introduction to trust in the workplace; components of trust; trust assessment; linking trust to communications and productivity; and how team work is enhanced through trust. The purpose of this training is to improve managerial efficiency of key staff by encouraging trust building between managers and employees, and between and among managers and their peers as well as higher levels of management in ED. One of the characteristics of a high performing organization is the positive behavior and communications exhibited by its members. Exploring the importance of trust in the workplace and the impact on performance (when it exists, does not exist or is breached) will assist the organization in promoting positive communications and behaviors, and high performance. This award is intended as a sole source award to be issued to the Reina Trust Building Institute, Inc., 560 Black Bear Run, Stowe, Vermont 05672. The Trust Building Institute founders, Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina are recognized experts in the field and will personally conduct the training. They have authored the book: Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace, which will be distributed to participants attending the seminar. This copyrighted research based model is the only one of its kind.

The Institute has earned registered trademarks for their core intellectual property, including Trust Building Consulting, Trust Building at Work, Reina Trust and Betrayal Model, Team Trust Building Program, Leadership Trust Building Model, Trust Building Program for Women Leaders, Trust Building Certification Program, The Business Need for Trust and The Human Need for Trust.
