If I had to guess, you most likely work for a company that holds you accountable to its mission, vision, and goals. And it’s probably safe to say that you expect the same accountability from your employer. But what do you do when the company you work for doesn’t hold itself responsible for its actions?

You (yes, y-o-u) have to take matters into your own hands and hold your company accountable for its actions. Not only is doing so the responsible thing to do, but it will positively impact your organization by improving trust, enhancing productivity, and ultimately creating a better company to work for regardless of your position.

Of course, you could just sit back and watch your employer talk the talk and not walk the walk. But there’s a good chance that doing so probably won’t yield the results and job satisfaction you’re ultimately looking for.

So, instead of hoping for things to take a turn for the better and change, my recommendation is you take matters into your own hands and hold your employer accountable to the same standards they have for you.
