What is Accountability in the Workplace?
Accountability is the responsibility of employees to complete the tasks they are assigned, to perform the duties required by their job, and to be present for their proper shifts in order to fulfill or further the goals of the organization. It’s being responsible for one's own work and answering for the repercussions of one's own actions. No one can stand over you full time to make sure you're working, so accountability ensures that you have an incentive to fly right.
