#16: Justice be done

Work bit 1: Remember, justice must not only be done. It must be seen to be done. If you must reprimand someone at work, then make sure others are aware that you did take action.

Work bit 2: Some people believe that if you focus on the little details, then the big details will behave themselves. They argue that serious crime was reduced in New York by focusing on petty crime.

Work bit 3: If that is true, then it is time to stop people stealing office supplies. According to Spherion Workplace Snapshot, one in five workers aged 18 to 24 do not think it wrong to take home office supplies. The Enron guys didn’t think it wrong either.

Work bit 4: Employees stealing from their employers is costing U.S. businesses an estimated $52 billion a year. There goes your bonus in somebody’s briefcase.
