Culture of Accountability
A culture of accountability in the workplace involves employees:
- taking responsibility for their actions,
- behaviors,
- performance,
- and decisions, which can lead to
- increased trust,
- productivity,
- and morale.
It can also improve the quality of work and foster creativity as employees feel more confident in their roles, responsibilities and the companies expectations of them.
Accountability requires managers to provide regular feedback and support to help employees improve and achieve their goals. Managers will provide tools and resources to help employees succeed and monitor progress to ensure tasks are completed on time and to the highest standard.
The lack of accountability leads to missed deadlines, subpar work, and a culture of mediocrity.
