Home第7页/共78页 TextIn the 1940s,a sign sat on President Trumans desk in the White House that read“the buck stops here”.Unfortunately,over the last 60 years,this concept of personal accountabilityespecially in businessseems to have been lost.Achieving Employee AccountabilityReturn第8页/共78页 TextReturn Accountability is about getting things done all the right thingsaccurately and on time,solving problems as they arise(or better still not allowing problems to develop)by taking responsibility,and being able to show your boss that you have done everything possible to achieve the goals set.第9页/共78页 TextEmployers invest heavily in their employees,with hiring costs,benefits and payrolls,but how many are getting all they should in return?How often do employers hear excuses,such as“its not my fault”,“sales just wasnt able to close the deal”or“my partner dropped the ball”?Blaming and finger-pointing are all too easy when things go wrong and all too common in business today.Creating accountability has become increasingly important.Return第10页/共78页 Text The concept of accepting responsibility for our own actions,while not new,at times seems almost unique in todays world.Companies are realizing that their success in areas such as customer service,employee retention,reliability and overall achievement is directly associated with the level of accountability of their employees.Therefore,when employers struggle to reach their business objectives and are unable to identify why employee performance and productivity are not as successful as they should be,it may be time to consider investing in accountability training to help transform employees behavior and attitude.Return第11页/共78页 Text Furthermore,there should be a system for measuring employee accountability.Many large US companies are resorting to ranking systems to distinguish the employees who perform poorlyreplacing them with more promising and motivated employees if they dont improve.These ranking systems also enable the companies to identify top performers and reward them.For example,General Electric Company identifies the top 20 percent,the middle 70 percent and the bottom 10 percent of its 100,000 managerial and professional employees,with the bottom rank given extra training and a brief time to improve.Return第12页/共78页 Text Once employees begin to take ownership of their tasks and understand the need to be accountable for their work,stress will be lowered,productivity increased,job satisfaction gained and the organization propelled to achieve its goals.Return第13页/共78页Think about the following questions while you read the passage.Thinking Point01.Suppose you just started working in a new company,how would you behave yourself?And among these behaviors,which ones are accountable for your job?And why do you think so?02.If the employers want to make sure all the staff are accountable for their work,what kind of regulations can be helpful?Discuss with your partner about it.Return第14页/共78页New Words New Words&Expressionsaccountability n.责任，义务accurately ad.准确地，精确地payroll n.工资总额，工资单retention n.保持，保留distinguish v.区分，辨别motivated
