Accountability is a word that's thrown around a lot in the workplace, and it's easy to forget what it actually entails. Accountability means taking responsibility for your actions and decisions, and accepting their consequences. It also means being able to explain them if necessary. The best managers are held accountable for their actions, and they hold their employees accountable as well.

The following are some tips on how to build employee accountability in the workplace:

Establish clear expectations for your employees

The first step towards building employee accountability is setting clear expectations for your staff members. If employees know what is expected of them, they're more likely to deliver high quality work. Make sure you're getting this message across by using regular reviews with your team members to discuss their performance and goals. You should also give them feedback on a regular basis so they can see how their behavior affects their productivity and overall results.
 
Accountability is a significant aspect of employee performance. It's also the most important factor in creating a successful business. The following are some ways to build employee accountability in your organization.

1. Create clear goals and expectations.

In order for employees to be accountable, they must know what is expected of them. This means that you should have clear goals and expectations for each role within your company. Employees should know what is expected of them at all times and know how they can achieve these goals.

2. Hold employees accountable for their actions and behaviors.

If you want employees to be accountable, then hold them accountable for their actions and behaviors by providing feedback on their performance, both positive and negative, consistent with those expectations outlined above (see 1). If you have clear expectations set forth for your team members, then it should not be difficult to provide feedback if someone falls short in any area or performs well above expectations after reaching that goal. This will help foster a culture where performing well is rewarded while poor performance is punished through consequences like being demoted or fired from their position within your company (if applicable).

Accountability is real and should be applied in the place of work so that the business can progress from where it is to where it should be. So everyone should be responsible and accountable to a large extent if the business needs to be progressive

I agree with you that there should be expectations. When the expectations can be measured then everyone would be accountability by people especially the employees. People would know how and what should be done at a given time so that the expectations will be realized and the goals of the business reached.

Accountability helps a lot and let the employees to be conscious of the daily routine of their jobs, if you know that you are to complete a specific job you would want to get it done because you would asked about the completion of that job and it would show your level of accountability if you do not complete it.
