2017 es el año de la Crisis de Confianza.
La confianza en las instituciones cae en caída libre.
- El 75% de los países que participan en el estudio, desconfían del gobierno.
- El 82% de los encuestados desconfían de los medios de Comunicación.
La desconfianza está instalada en el sistema y afecta a todo tipo de instituciones: empresas, medios de comunicación, gobiernos y, por primera vez, desde que se hace el estudio, aparecen las ONGs.
El estudio desvela que:
- El 53% de la población cree que el sistema no funciona.
- Solo el 15% piensa que el sistema funciona.
- El resto, el 32% se muestra indeciso.
Entre las preocupaciones más populares que motivan la desconfianza en el sistema:

-La globalización
- La erosión de los valores sociales.
-El fenómeno de la inmigración.
- La incertidumbre que genera la rapidez con las que se producen las innovaciones.
El Barómatro de Confianza 2017 identifica tres atributos que ayudan a construir confianza en las empresas y marcas:

- Ofrecer productos y servicios de calidad.
- Escuchar y empatizar con los clientes.

In modern society, we delegate important aspects of our well-being to the four institutions of business) economic well-being), government (national security and public policy), media (information and knowledge) and NGOs (social causes and issues).
In order to feel safe delegating important aspects of our lives and well-being to others, we need to trust them to act with integrity and with our best interests in mind. Trust, therefore, is at the heart of an individual’s relationship with an institution and, by association, its leadership.
If trust in these institutions breaks down, we begin to fear that we are no longer in safe, reliable hands. Without trust, the fabric of society can unravel to the detriment of all.
In this session, we will look at the present state of trust globally through the lens of the Edelman Trust Barometer. We will dig into various aspects of trust specifically focusing on media and business.

2016 Edelman Trust Barometer Hong Kong ResultsEdelman
2016 Edelman TRUST BAROMETER revealed trust in all four institutions has reached its highest level since the Great Recession, with business receiving the largest increase in trust among both the informed public and the larger general population.

In 2012, trust in financial services was at 43 percent on a global basis. In 2016, global trust in this industry is at 51 percent – an 8-point increase over this five-year period, the most of any industry the barometer surveys.
Financial services, however, is still the least trusted industry we survey. Trust is too fragile, and today’s financial services climate is too unpredictable for companies to rest on their laurels. The industry needs to continue to be dynamic and double-down on trust building solutions.
