Managing Your Career: For All Employees
Integrity

‹ Customer Service | ›

Integrity: Instills mutual trust and confidence; creates a culture that fosters high standards of ethics; is consistent and follows through; and demonstrates a sense of university responsibility and commitment towards the UIC values: Knowledge, Access, Openness, Excellence and Collaboration.

Integrity is a standard of personal conduct that engenders trust from your colleagues, loyalty from customers, and ethical behavior in the workplace. The minimum integrity skills expected of new employees are displayed through the demonstration of responsible use of work time, follow-through on commitments, and admitting mistakes.

As UIC employees continue in their career they should consistently adhere to UIC policies and procedures, uphold confidentiality agreements, and have an established reputation of honesty and fairness.
