Employee accountability means meeting deadlines, hitting targets, and otherwise getting the job done. And accountable employees manage their workload according to team objectives, proactively seek help when they need it, and take responsibility when they make mistakes.When teams have a culture of accountability, they prioritize their initiatives to align with business objectives and collaborate effectively together. On top of that, team members face failures together, without pointing fingers, and actively apply their learnings moving forward.An accountable workforce is made up of driven employees and high-performing teams. You can see workplace accountability in action when people know what they need to accomplish and are empowered to get there independently. In an accountable company culture, mistakes and failures are acknowledged and embraced, contributing to a culture of learning and growth.
