What I would share is that in the topic of transparency trusts, the winners are the first movers. So, there's an opportunity to be proactive here and showcase what it is that an organization is trying to achieve, how it's using the data. And that's a great first step to bringing the workforce into the conversation and fostering the level of trust that's necessary for organizations to achieve what they want to do.

...anybody that's thinking about trust and transparency in the business world—it doesn't happen because you've delivered a project or initiative called ‘trust and transparency.’ It happens because there are specific behaviors that you've installed, and you're being consistent in how you show up with your teams and your colleagues and your communities. So the focus really needs to be on being intentional with those actions, your investments in technology and all the change management that goes around it.
