Trust Needs a Method. The Trust Equity Index (TEi) measures, tracks and leverages trustworthiness to unlock value. Whether rebuilding after breakdown or building for growth – the TEi diagnosis trust, how it moves, and what it’s worth (literally).
How It Works
The TEi gathers and analyses evidence across teams or systems to reveal how trust and impact are experienced – and how they relate to performance. Based on this evidence, two clear profiles are generated: one shows how trustworthy the subject is; the other shows how it is performing. Combined, they produce a Trust Equity Score – a robust signal of where trust stands, where it’s slipping, and what to do next. It’s specifically designed to turn insight into action in any setting.

Why It Works
Insight to Action
-
Organisations use the TEi to:
Align leadership around shared priorities
Navigate transitions, mergers, and restructuring
Strengthen communication and collaboration
Support onboarding, recovery, or change processes
Resolve internal tension and build psychological safety
Because it’s evidence-based, the TEi creates a shared starting point – not for blame, but for movement.
Value Formula
-
Examples include:
A 10-point gain in trust can lead to up to 40% lower attrition
High-trust teams are 29–45% more productive
Public trust boosts compliance by 30% and wellbeing by 13%
Trusted leadership enables faster change adoption and stronger retention
The model draws on research from the World Values Survey, OECD trust and governance data, and meta-analyses by Deloitte, PwC, and Harvard Business Review
It allows organisations to make a credible case for treating trust as a strategic investment.
Simplifying Trust
-
It works because it is:
Based on decades of research, refined through practice
Straightforward to apply, yet rich in insight
Designed to scale across people, teams, and systems
Embedded in TGTP’s full range of offerings
Built to connect trust to real-world outcomes
The TEi replaces confusion with clarity – and inertia with movement.
