This brochure provides two types of guidance. One set of guidelines helps employees to effectively address concerns to a colleague. The other set of guidelines provides insight on how to respond appropriately when confronted with a concern by a colleague. These guidelines can be used by officials and others who are involved in promoting and strengthening integrity within the organisation, for example during information sessions or employee training.
Working together means depending on one another. To achieve organisational objectives and collaborate in an effective and constructive way, employees must be able to hold each other accountable. This responsibility does not rest completely on supervisors; all employees contribute to and share responsibility for a culture of integrity. Holding one another accountable is an essential part of creating and maintaining such a culture.
