20、着“责任止于此”。遗憾的是，在过去60年间，尤其是在商业领域，个人问责制的理念似乎已经消失了。问责就是以承担责任的方式及时准确地做一切对的事情，解决出现的问题（最好阻止问题进一步发展），并让你的老板知道，你已经想尽了一切办法去实现既定目标。雇主们通过雇佣成本、福利以及工资的方式对员工投入巨资，可有几个雇主得到了应有的回报？雇主们听到诸如“那不是我的错”、“销售只是未达到预期要求”、“我的搭档掉链子”这样的借口又是何其频繁？当事情出错时，人们很容易只是埋怨和指责，这种现象在如今的商业领域已经司空见惯。因此，建立问责制变得越来越重要。,Chinese Version,Return,虽然对自己的行为
21、承担责任这一观念并非新鲜事，但似乎这一概念在当今世界有时是具有独特作用的。各大公司正逐步意识到它们在客服、员工留任、信誉度以及总体业绩等领域的成功与员工的问责制水平有直接的关系。因此，当雇主努力实现商业目标，却不能找到员工表现以及生产力没有达到应有水平的原因时，他们可以采取问责制培训来转变员工的行为和态度。此外，企业还应该有衡量员工责任的体制。许多美国大公司正采取排名制来发现表现平平的员工如果这些员工不改进，他们就会被更有前途、积极进取的员工所取代。这种排名制也能帮助公司发现优秀员工并给予他们奖励。例如通用电气公司把10万名管理人员与专业雇员分别按“优、中、差”进行分级。其中20%为优秀，70
22、%为合格，其余10%为不合格。公司会对不合格的人进行额外培训并责令其限时改进。只要雇员开始以主人翁的态度承担任务，理解对工作尽职尽责的重要性，他们就会减少压力，提高生产效率，获得工作满足感，同时也会推动公司实现目标。,Return,Chinese Version,New Words,New Words&Expressions,accountability n.责任，义务accurately ad.准确地，精确地payroll n.工资总额，工资单retention n.保持，保留distinguish v.区分，辨别motivated a.有积极性的，有动机的identify v.识别；确定m
