A new measure of trust

To better understand how trust builds and strengthens these bonds, Deloitte Digital has built the HX TrustID™, which measures perception on the underlying drivers of trust: humanity, transparency, reliability, and capability; and further identifies the highest-impact actions a brand can take to improve its trust.

Statistically, TrustID explains 96% of self-reported trust, and improvements in any of the four drivers have a quantifiable impact on purchase behavior and employee motivation.

62%

of people who report highly trusting a brand buy almost exclusively from that brand over competitors in the same category

79%

of employees who highly trust their employer feel motivated to work; only 29% of those who did not trust their employer are motivated to work

4%

of people trust businesses to define a safe path to normal during COVID
