Welcome! We are glad you have come here to explore accountability in the workplace.
How critical is employee accountability? Most business people know intuitively that if you improve employee accountability, you will improve productivity and innovation and those gains will contribute to the bottom line. But the opposite is also true.
Lack of Accountability Costs Billions Annually
It is estimated that lack of accountability costs the nation's employers in the billions of dollars each year. The research also says that the majority of employees (upwards of 85%) come to work each day wanting to be accountable. But only 45% continue to feel that way throughout the entire day.
So why all of the disconnects? Building accountability in the workplace, any workplace, is a systems effort. It requires a clear definition of accountability that everyone can agree on, adherence to some basic principles of high performance management, and a team effort.
Six Critical Building Blocks
To guide you in your efforts to learn more about the key elements in building greater accountability in your workplace, Headwinds Ltd. has developed a simple model comprised of six primary elements.
- Establish clear direction;
- Align people, process, and systems;
- Engage staff;
- Lead the way;
- Monitor progress; and
- Review and evaluate results.
We explore these elements in greater detail throughout these pages as well as some side notes about human and organization behavior. The question of why people do not do what they say they will do has been the subject of debate for thousands of years and the focus of hundreds of experts.
We try to summarize a few theories throughout the site. So, look around. Take advantage of our free report. And if you have a question about accountability that has been bugging you, shoot us an email and we will do our best to answer.
