Meaning of integrity in an organisation: doing the right thing even when no one else is around. It’s the ability to act with honesty and be consistent in whatever its you are doing based on particular (moral, value, belief, etc) compass you have all related to the culture in which you operate. So, culture plays a role in determining exactly what integrity involves.
Trust:
Trust and integrity goes hand in hand. At the most basic level all relationship are built on trust. This is true for both employer and employees/institution &clients(parents).To trust an organisation means that you feel confident in their ability to be fair &respectful, do what was promised and act responsibly. Similarly to score the trust of an organisation the employees should also act vice versa. In an organisation employers & employees are supposed to be open with each other and not be afraid to express their views/opinions. This type of communicative environment with integrity let's an institution to adapt to ever changing market place to stay competitive. This can keep employees from seeking employment elsewhere or asking any additional perks. This is possible only if both employer & employee accept their faulty opinion /defects & is ready to change to the right thing. Trust and integrity are inextricably connected.
Building integrity in an organisation:
It starts with being more proactive during staff selection process. Spending some time during interviews to ask scenario or situational question. Instead of focusing only on skills and background. Providing training (seminar, memo, conferences, PowerPoint) on integrity. Enforcement of integrity related policies via formal handbook.
Integration and its importance in an organisation:
Integration refers mixing of people or groups from different places or Cultures .This place a vital role in an organisational set up where in the leading is made much wider and different kind of approaches are got about one single thing and different solutions are obtained for one problem. This is definitely needed for a healthy growth of an organisation. This makes people to meet situations in a multiple approach and to look at an issue in a multi-dimensional view. An organisation can also get good references from their employees from various cultures and about their people which leads to the promotion of an organisation and an individual in the gain of knowledge.
