Trust in the field of human resources refers to the confidence and reliance that employees have in their organization, colleagues, and leadership. It is the belief that the organization and its members will act with integrity, fairness, and competence, and that promises and commitments will be upheld.

Example
When employees trust their HR department, they are more likely to openly share concerns and ideas, knowing that their feedback will be considered and respected. Trust can also manifest in employees' belief that they will be treated fairly in matters like promotions, compensation, and performance evaluations.
