Golden Truths and Purple Principles

The Golden Rule of Honesty:

• Transparent Communication: An employer openly shares company updates, challenges, and successes with employees, fostering a culture of trust and inclusivity.
• Feedback and Performance Reviews: Honest and constructive feedback is given during performance reviews, helping employees understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
• Admitting Mistakes: When a mistake is made at the management level, the employer openly acknowledges it and takes responsibility, setting a precedent for accountability.

 

The Purple Power of Integrity:

• Ethical Decision-Making: The employer makes decisions based on ethical standards and values, even when it's not the easiest or most profitable choice.
• Consistency in Actions: The employer consistently acts in accordance with the company's values and ethical guidelines, serving as a role model for employees.
• Respecting Commitments: The employer follows through on promises and commitments made to employees, such as career development opportunities or work-life balance initiatives.

 

The Interplay of Gold and Purple:

• Decision-Making: The employer uses both honesty and integrity in decision-making, ensuring that decisions are not only transparent but also ethically sound.
• Building Trust: By consistently demonstrating honesty and integrity, the employer builds a strong foundation of trust with employees, leading to a more cohesive and motivated team.
• Navigating Challenges: In times of crisis or ethical dilemmas, the employer relies on both honesty and integrity to navigate the situation, communicate openly with employees, and make decisions that uphold the company's values.

 

The golden truths of honesty and the purple principles of integrity are not just ethical ideals but practical necessities in the workplace. As employers, fostering an environment where these values are lived and breathed can transform the dynamics of our teams and the success of our organisations.

 

By embedding honesty and integrity into the fabric of our leadership and interactions, we create a culture of trust, respect, and mutual growth.

 

Let us commit to being the gold and purple standard in our workplaces, leading by example and inspiring others to do the same. After all, the true measure of our success is not just in what we achieve, but in how we achieve it.
