This past week we've been focusing on accountability in the workplace, a key topic for so many teams. While I jumped into topics such as Key Ingredients for More Accountability in your Team (Teams365 #889) and Creating More Accountability with Your Team This week (Teams365 #888), we haven't taken the time to look at some ofthe interesting stats and definitions behind accountability in the workplace. Today's post does that. Did you know:
First of all, how do we define accountability?
Boundless.com states, “Being accountable simply means being responsible for decisions made, actions taken, and assignments completed.

Accountability is a key part of organizational culture today in the workplace.
According to Talent Culture, “The Workplace Accountability Study recently revealed that 82% of respondents have no ability to hold others accountable, but 91% of people rank accountability as one of the top development needs they’d like to see at their organization.” http://www.talentculture.com/why-accountability-in-the-workplace-matters/)
Gallup has found that engagement levels have remained relatively static since the early 2000s and that 70% of engagement variance is due to the manager. (http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/182321/employees-lot-managers.aspx)
As I've been asking throughout the last week, what is the state of accountability in your organization right now? What focus do you want to take around it?
Have a great weekend,
