# Trust in Turbulence: The 2025 Trust Research Report

## How Leaders Turn Disruption Into Competitive Advantage Report

Disruption isn’t the exception anymore, it’s the norm. The question isn’t *if* it will happen, but *how* your organization responds.

Our latest SparkEffect research reveals a surprising outcome: organizations that handle disruption *very well* actually earn higher employee trust than those that faced no disruption at all. We call this the **trust dividend**, and it directly fuels **revenue, retention, and reputation.**

*“Trust isn’t a soft metric, it’s a structural competitive advantage. When organizations treat trust as strategy, they don’t just protect morale, they outperform.”*  
— **Kim Bohr, President & COO, SparkEffect**

### What’s Inside the 2025 Trust Report:

**✅ The Trust Performance Index**  
Benchmark your organization across five trust domains: Strategic Clarity, Psychological Safety, Relational Continuity & Belonging, Technology & Systems Trust, and Fairness & Change Impact. 

**✅ The Disruption Dividend**  
See why well-handled disruptions boost trust by 12% over baseline — and poorly handled ones slash it by 28%.

**✅ Trust Elasticity Model**  
Learn how some organizations rebound 6.5× stronger after disruption while others fracture and fall behind.

**✅ The Manager Trust Gap**  
Understand why employees place higher trust in local leaders — and why that trust is the most fragile under crisis pressure.

**✅ The ROI of Trust**  
High-trust organizations report 97% confidence in financial performance compared to just 46% in low-trust organizations — a 51-point gap with bottom-line consequences.

### Why Trust Is Now A Business Strategy

In the past two years, 71% of employees experienced major workplace disruption. Those moments either shattered trust or strengthened it.

Organizations that lead with clarity and care don’t just protect culture — they outperform peers who faced no disruption at all.
