Replying to LO15988 --

A company I work with has just spent three years trying to improve the
transactions between people s as to clarify communication . Their purpose
is to build trust. It is very clear to me that most companies do not have
clear agreements between people and so have the seeds of mistrust
sprouting all the time.

It has help this company and the enthusiasm is very high.as is the
engagement of the minds of the work force.
