    In today?s competitive environment, it is no longer good enough to offer employees a good place to work. Rather, it is imperative a company creates a work environment where the best want to work. Only when such an environment exists will a company attract and retain the most knowledgeable, skilled, and accomplished employees; who in-turn will effectively execute its activities and make it a viable competitor in an increasingly aggressive marketplace.

    Accountability makes a workplace the place where the best performers want to be because of a shared drive for excellence. These organizations, through the individual and collective behaviors of their people, continuously and consequentially pursue performance improvement and achievement of the organization?s mission. The best performers, motivated by one or more of a variety of rewards such as contribution, recognition, advancement, compensation, and control, seek out highly accountable organizations because these organizations feed their motivations while at the same time presenting them with the challenge to continually improve.

    All the Best,
