Trust is the key to creating a great place to work.
What is your definition of a great workplace? For some it's being appreciated and rewarded for their work, irrespective of gender. For others, it's a welcoming, nurturing environment that allows a balance of work and family life.
But at the top of the list is trust, which manifests itself in every relationship, said Amy Lyman head of the Great Place To Work[R] Institute in San Francisco. As founder and president, Lyman described how trust defines workplace effectiveness at the College and University Work Family Association (CUWFA) conference held in Atlanta in February.

Lyman has been a consultant to the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Center for Applied Research and on the faculty at the University of California at Davis.

In 1984 only 4% of the 100 top organizations offered their workers flex time. Last year, 95% did. "We've gotten more phone calls from the academy on it," she said. "I expect more two- and four-year institutions to embrace the notion of flexibility."
