Toronto, Ontario, Canada (AHN) – TD Canada Trust announced on Thursday that beginning Feb. 13, 2011, over 300 Toronto Dominion Bank branches across Canada will be open seven days a week. The change is in line with customers request for more flexible banking hours.

The over 300 TD branches will be open for the entire week, including Sundays from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Since the bank has the longest banking hours in Canada, 50 percent than competitors, that means some branches will be open up to 72 hours a week.

Kerry Peacock, executive vice president for branch banking of TD Canada Trust, said the change in banking hours is part of TD’s promise to provide comfortable banking, which translates into superior service and convenience.

Peacock said in a statement, “We talk to our customers regularly so we know that, given their busy work and personal lives, they appreciate the ability to do their banking at a branch when it suits their schedule, whether it’s first thing in the morning, in the evening or on the weekend.”

TD is one of the largest banks in Canada with 11 million customers serviced by more than 1,100 branches and 2,600 ATMs.

• Their team colleague’s intentions are good—even when they disagree
• There is no reason to be protective or careful in what they say or do in the team setting
• They are comfortable being vulnerable with one another

If you spot team members engaging in the following behaviors you can probably bet that trust is low:

• Team members conceal mistakes and weaknesses
• They hesitate to ask for help
• They do not provide constructive feedback to each other
• They jump to conclusions about the motives of others
• They do not tap into other’s skills
• They hold grudges

The solution: address the root causes of low-trust through conducting meaningful team building sessions run by the team leader or a capable external facilitator. Left unchecked, low-trust teams will under perform, waste resources, and fail to deliver.
