Virtual Summit from the WPO Center for Organizational Effectiveness
Building Workplace Trust: The Key to Organizational Health and Effectiveness
Wednesday, October 22, 2025 | 8:00am - 12:00pm Eastern
Trust is the foundation of every healthy, high-performing workplace—yet in today’s rapidly shifting environment, it is also one of the most fragile assets leaders must safeguard. This virtual summit brings together global insights, research, and practical strategies to help leaders understand the state of workplace trust and how to strengthen it as a driver of organizational resilience, wellbeing, and effectiveness.
Over the course of this half-day event, participants will explore the forces that are shaping employee trust worldwide, from global psychosocial hazards to emerging challenges like AI adoption and workplace incivility. Leaders will also gain actionable approaches for fostering strong relationships that scale trust and psychological safety across the enterprise.
Highlights include:
- The Global State of Trust (Keynote) – Edelman Canada CEO Bianca Freedman will share findings from Edelman’s Trust Barometer alongside Workplace Options’ global psychosocial risk data, uncovering where trust is breaking down and what leaders must do to rebuild it.
- The Hidden Risks of AI Adoption & How to Mitigate Them – A deep dive into the overlooked psychosocial hazards AI introduces, and how leaders can leverage data and strategies to implement AI responsibly while safeguarding employee wellbeing.
- Peer Relationships as the Cornerstone of Trust and Engagement – A practical look at how peer ambassadors drive adoption of culture-building initiatives, strengthen psychological safety, and help scale trust across organizations.
- How Incivility in the Workplace Is Undermining Trust – An exploration of how everyday acts of disrespect erode culture, collaboration, and trust, and what leaders can do to address incivility before it escalates.
By connecting global research with actionable strategies, this summit equips leaders to actively prioritize and manage trust as a critical business imperative for long-term health and effectiveness.
The Center for Organizational Effectiveness partners with organizations globally to create thriving workplaces and resilient teams. Through expertise in employee engagement, psychological safety, psychosocial risk management, stress prevention, change management, and inclusive leadership, the Center helps leaders build cultures of trust, collaboration, and innovation.
