Lying

Why Lying Exists in the Workplace

Recent surveys have shown that approximately 15 percent of employees in today’s businesses have been caught lying while at work.  Strangely enough, this isn’t always done with malicious intentions.  In fact, it is common for lying to occur in order to keep the peace, and enable employees the opportunity to make up for some shortcoming or error that has occurred.  This does not at all justify the dishonest actions of these employees, but to understanding why lying exists in the workplace is the first step to properly managing it.
