What is Integrity?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is choosing to do what is right not just what’s regulated or legal.<\/p>\n

Integrity is the fourth of *12 behaviors in our Tap Into Trust (TAP) framework<\/a> having now\u00a0been accessed over 150,000 times in 16 languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust Across America-Trust Around the World created The “Art” of Trust<\/a> visual “cues” to start a discussion about workplace behaviors that build and weaken stakeholder trust. Together these cues form a “Wall” of Trust, telling a story to enhance learning and retention.<\/p>\n

  2. What are some examples of our failure to act in the best interests of our customers, stakeholders and the public? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The “Art” of Trust\u00a0 is one of many resources designed for our Trust Action Project t<\/strong>o help leaders, teams and organizations move from trust talk to ACTION in 2021 and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n
