Broken Trust at Work: The Real Cost of a Favour
Broken Trust at Work: The Real Cost of a Favour, shows how a simple act, meant to help a friend, ends up hurting trust in so many different ways.
This short animated story, based on a true event in a public sector organisation, explores how one manager’s small decision — letting a friend take some furniture — leads to an injury, questions of fairness, and more.
Through the Circle of Trust — Safety, Relationship, and Truth — we see how good intentions can spiral into ethical dilemmas, lost credibility, and damaged culture.
This video is a powerful reminder that trust at work isn’t lost in one big scandal… it’s lost through the small choices we make every day.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
• Why “harmless favours” can compromise professional integrity
• How small rule-bending can destroy workplace trust
• The importance of transparency, fairness, and safety
• Why leaders must model ethical behaviour at all times
💡 Perfect for:
Business leaders, managers, HR professionals, ethics trainers, and anyone who believes integrity is the foundation of great work.
👉 Watch, reflect, and share this story with your team — because integrity isn’t optional.
