Assessing and Enhancing Customer Trust via 4 Key Inquiries

Building and maintaining trust is key to a business's success. Losing trust can be devastating, but increasing it can have a multiplier effect on a company's fortunes. Customers who trust a brand are more likely to return and recommend it to others. Internally, employees who trust their employer are more motivated and less likely to leave the company.

Here's how companies can understand and boost trust to drive growth. First, it's essential to understand how various stakeholders – customers, suppliers, employees – view the company's trustworthiness. A survey can be a useful tool to not only assess trust levels but also boost customer loyalty. The connection between trust and loyalty is intuitive, with research consistently showing a strong correlation between the two.

One platform for measuring trust is TrustID, which focuses on four foundational aspects of trust: humanity, transparency, capability, and reliability. Respondents are asked to grade a company on a seven-point scale in relation to these factors, providing valuable insights for companies looking to improve trust and loyalty.

A high humanity score indicates customers are more likely to promote the company on social media and defend it against criticism. Customers who rate the company high on transparency are likely to promote them on social media. High scores on capability suggest that customers are more likely to choose the company over the competition, and a high reliability score indicates customers are more willing to spend more on the brand.

Building trust is crucial for promoting a satisfactory human experience, making it a place that employees are proud to work for. Improving employees' trust in the company can also help leaders restore trust in society as a whole.

To measure and boost customer trust, companies can also consider using biometric AI tools like the one developed by Team Lewis, which objectively assesses how well organizations communicate trustworthiness to their audiences. Additionally, clear communication, secure and privacy-focused systems, consistent performance, and responsiveness to customer insights are all critical for building and sustaining trust.
