A white lie sometimes helps , okay otherwise nope
TRY TO AVOID THIS HABBIT ................
Not OK
Is It Ever OK to Lie at Work?
It is not OK and ONE SHOULD NOT. ORGANIZATIONS MUST HAVE STRICT GUIDELINES FOR ITS EMPLOYEES AND SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN POLICIES ON ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR, DOs & DONTs and must ensure each and every employee and business associate signs an ETHICS AND INTEGRITY CONTRACT.
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADHERE TO POLICIES OF ETHCIAL AND HUMANE PRODUCTION AND FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES ALONE HAVE CHANCE TO CREATE THE RIGHT PERCEPTION OF A RELIABLE & DEPENDABLE BUSINESS IN THE MINDS OF ALL STAKE HOLDERS AND HENCE HAVE A CHANCE TO SUCCEED.
Integrity is one of the fundamental values that employers seek in the employees that they hire. It is the hallmark of a person who demonstrates sound moral and ethical principles at work.
A person who has integrity lives his or her values in relationships with coworkers, customers, and stakeholders. Honesty and trust are central to integrity. Acting with honor and truthfulness are also basic tenets in a person with integrity.
People who demonstrate integrity draw others to them because they are trustworthy and dependable. They are principled and can be counted on to behave in honorable ways even when no one is watching.
To tolerate a lie is to build your business shaky grounds. Any organization that tolerates its employees telling lies is actually sending a WRONG message to all concerned that truth, ethical behavior transparency and fair business practices etc - the very essential bricks of a solid, performing going concern - are not important! this attitude actually gnaws at the very foundation and the employees will begin to lie at all occasions and the very values of the organization are under attack and soon the organization starts to crumble down and loose its value in the eyes of the customers and their own business partners. that is the beginning of the end!
As such it is essential to inculcate the right values in ones workforce and must adopt a zero tolerance policy for violations if any.
the management itself should behave in an exemplary manner and set a very high standard for the staff to follow. when employees realize the value of ethical and truthful behaviour they will follow suit and take pride in their organization and strive hard to keep such an image intact!
In these days of globalization and intense competition, it is essential that businesses are built on the foundation of truthful, ethical, humane and legal values for a greater probability of success and continued survival
It is never ok to lie either work or personal life but its life never2+2 =4, compromises are part of life but intent should be positive
Absolutely NO! Lies hold the potential to make you fall into a endless web of deception and a tangled position. Honesty is the best policy.
When we lose self-confidence
foe me lie is not less than a crime but sometimes we do have to lie and speaking on work don't ever lie with management it not just breaks their trust it makes you guilty and scare always which at least i can't afford at work
Nope.
Definitely NOT, because it leaves a question mark on integrity!
After telling a lie before top management, it will very diffcult to control situation, however, sometime top management knows that their subordinate is telling lie but they ignor.
