Accountability Experience
Individuals who go through accountability training develop more positive relationships, feel a sense of accomplishment, and improve personal productivity - all with less stress. Have your employees develop these skills that hold others accountable for agreements in a way that minimizes conflict and encourages enhanced results.
The Accountability Experience is an accountability assessment and workshop that leads to organizations in which there is crystal-clear clarity about what to expect to happen, how, and when. Managers and supervisors uncover how to encourage employee accountability at all levels; leading to increased engagement and a decrease in the gap between expectation and delivery.
The Accountability Experience combines a self-assessment and customized report to allow employees to feel more in control of outcomes and improve key work relationships. The assessment is designed to gauge how an employee’s current mindset puts accountability, responsibility, and empowerment into practice. For those who wish to explore accountability deeper, there is a one-day workshop available.
