"The best way to earn the trust and respect of my colleagues is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles. Additionally, I get to know my colleagues personally and never gossip to earn trust and respect."

"I think when meeting new colleagues, it's important to keep an open mind, attitude, and approach. Even though I've been in healthcare for several years, that doesn't mean that I can't learn anything new, especially from more juniored employees. Demonstrating that I am not a "know-it-all" and that I genuinely want to get to know them and learn from them as I onboard would help build that relationship. I would be willing to help them with their work and to share any knowledge or experience I had that could improve their processes as well. Communication is important, so I would focus on regular touch points, actively listening, and professional tone and language. I would not gossip or engage in negative talk about others, so to also build trust and respect."
