Accountability Experience

Description

Description

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.

Accountability Experience is an accountability assessment and workshop that leads to organizations having clarity about roles and what to expect. 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.

With Accountability Experience, your organization will gain clarity on expectations and timelines, leading to a decrease in conflict and an increase in employee accountability at all levels. Boost engagement and productivity, all while reducing stress.

How It Works

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.

Administered in advance of the workshop, the Accountability Experience 73-item self-assessment measures an individual’s mindset in four dimensions of accountability:

• Personal Responsibility
• Personal Accountability
• Team Empowerment
• Perception of Organizational Culture

During this one-day workshop, participants will introduce themselves to the three phases of the Accountability Cycle:

• Responsibility: Claiming ownership of a task
• Self-Empowerment: Taking personal action to complete the task
• Accountability: Answering for the outcome
