In the clip, he explains that in Norway nobody closely monitors how many hours an employee works or how much they have completed. Instead, the assumption is always positive that you will carry out your responsibilities honestly and diligently. He adds that if an employee needs to take leave due to illness or for an appointment, the manager simply says, “ok, thanks for informing,” which creates a calm and respectful atmosphere.

A culture built on trust

Sachin elaborated on these thoughts in the caption of his post. He wrote, “One of the strongest work culture lessons I learned after moving to Norway was the impact of trust. Trust removes fear. Trust removes micromanagement. Trust creates ownership. Trust brings out the best in people. Here, no one is policing your hours. Your ID isn’t a surveillance tool. If you’re sick or have an appointment, a simple thanks for informing is the entire conversation. Employees are treated like adults and they behave like adults. Work becomes calmer. People take responsibility. And performance improves naturally. Sometimes, better results don’t come from pressure. They come from trust.”
