I think trusting an employee is essential in business. You need someone to trust and take a look after it because you may not be always be there to look after it. The best employees also make mistakes mistakes and we all are but humans so expect it.

Something which I will require when I begin to hire.

My philosophy as a business person is to hold my companies privately and solely to prevent ludicrous changes in a corporation. There are pros and cons with doing this however it is my opinion.

I’m starting my first chain of internet businesses this year in which I’ve appointed myself as Chairman/CEO. Currently I’m living in the U.K for the next 9 months however I’ll be moving to the U.S but still have a distance between my planned location and the HQ. I really don’t want to be a businessman who is on the computer or on the phone every day dealing with every slightest problem however would like to be summarized back on a weekly or daily basis and have deep interests.

With an industry that is always changing, this is a reason why I don’t wish to add anyone to the board.

With distance being a problem I need to have faith in my employees to do what there supposed to do, however with CCTV, Helpdesk Logs, Internet Communities and other employees always monitoring them.

Obviously I expect to appoint managers for the 5 departments who can be the employees point of contact and those managers can report back to be on a daily or weekly basis.

Your comments on this? A good or bad idea to cut out the middle management and go from Department Employees – Department Managers – CEO/Owner

Would this work well for me or just cause me stress and many more hours being on the phone or in front of the computer.

Hopefully with success I would love to go into Retail, Food, Hardware/Software Manufacturing and Real Estate (In these cases I think appoint further executives and a CEO would be a good idea) otherwise I will be going crazy with no sleep.

I’m already in development to develop Television Production Company and I hope I can do some acting as well.

Very confusing post so hopefully someone understands where I’m coming from .

You get what you inspect and not what you expect!

Trusting employees becomes fairly easily once you've set up systems that they can work to. Establish clear lines of accountability and well defined standards for how you want the work done and you can slice out a layer of middle management

Good luck

Cheers

Pete

Trust is very important in business. If you cannot trust your employees, you cannot work with them.

On the other hand your employee must be able to see a reason for their loyalty. If they are being worked to the bone on minimum pay with no thanks or recognition and no plans made for their progression. They will have no reason to be a trust worthy employee and they may not prove loyal to your business.

@Mark very well said !

Trusting employees, has been & has not been an Issue for everyone.

Just the recruitment team has to be more careful, when their Personal Interview / Assesment is done, which gives a fair idea of a person.

For Ex : Interaction (Words used)
Body Language (Defensive / Assertive / Aggressive)


Regards.

@Poonam,

There are many reasons behind the point you've just mentioned.

"management try to break the trust in big organization to achieve their interest"

1) Pressure from Client
2) Indirect way to eliminate the bad fish from the pond
3) Maintain 100% Quality
4) Special Audits.

There are many more points to add....

Regards.
