Build trust with employees

Being in the position of HR can put you in the uncomfortable position of representing two sides, both of which you care about. And that can place a strain on your ability to build positive relationships. But you need positive relationships to be an effective HR manager. To make things even tougher, because many of your responsibilities involve confidential information, employees may get the feeling you're a secret keeper. And because you deal with negative things, like discipline and termination, some might think you are a dangerous person to get too close to. But the truth is, you have to build trust with everyone you interact with.

The more they trust you, the more they will know you are always doing what's best, even when they don't agree with it. You don't want people questioning your motives. You want them to trust that you can, will, and are doing the right thing. In my experience in HR, there are four behaviors that will help you earn the trust you need to be an effective HR manager. The first is consistency in everything you do.
