Honesty at Work

1/25/2022

A number of research studies show that being honest makes people happier. In fact, research from the University of Notre Dame found that when people consciously stopped telling lies for 10 weeks (including white lies), they had fewer physical ailments like headaches, and fewer symptoms of depression than a control group.
 
But is honesty at work always the best policy? Writing in the Jobacle blog, career advisor Amy Lynn Munslow identifies the three best – and potentially trickiest – times to be fully honest on the job.
 
Essential times to be honest:
  • When you’ve made a mistake (don't cover up; show your integrity)
  • When you see a more efficient process (stick to observable facts)
  • When you are turning in a resume
 
Times to be careful with honesty:
  • “Tattling” on co-workers (other than for serious infractions)
  • When you're having a bad day (avoid blurting until a bad mood passes)
  • When you need to boost the confidence of others (positive reinforcement can go a long way)
 
Are you always honest at work, and if not when are the exceptions? To join the conversation, click "comments" just below the picture at the beginning of this article.  We really want to get your feedback!
