In today’s dynamic work environment, the success of a team is determined not only by the competence of its individuals, but also by the sense of responsibility each member demonstrates in delivering their work. This principle lies at the heart of Accountability, one of HARITA’s core values, which continues to be strengthened through various employee development initiatives.
As part of its commitment to fostering a strong workplace culture, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) organized an Internal Sharing Knowledge session centered on the theme of accountability. During the session, Agung Ariwibowo, Technical Support Deputy Department Head at Harita Nickel, shared his insights and experiences on the importance of accountability in supporting both individual and team performance.
The discussion was highly interactive, featuring a variety of case studies and real-life experiences that reflected employees’ day-to-day work. Through the session, participants were encouraged to understand that accountability is not merely a concept, but a character trait that must be demonstrated through every action and decision in the workplace.
According to Agung, accountability is a personal obligation to take responsibility for work outcomes in pursuit of shared goals.
"Accountability is closely tied to an individual’s character, shaped by how they carry out and fulfill every responsibility entrusted to them," he explained.
He added that accountability is reflected in an individual’s ability to consistently complete their responsibilities and deliver results that can be accounted for.
To build a strong sense of accountability, Agung emphasized the importance of developing the habit of analyzing every challenge encountered in the workplace. By understanding the root cause of an issue, individuals can focus more effectively on solutions and continuous improvement.
"We should avoid blaming one another or generalizing problems. What we need to build are the habits and behaviors that support the creation of a work system that improves day by day," he explained.
During the discussion session, one participant raised a common challenge frequently encountered in operational areas: ensuring the continuity of work during handover processes and employee leave periods. In response, Agung highlighted the importance of ownership and integrity in carrying out every responsibility.
According to him, individuals who possess a strong sense of ownership are more likely to ensure that their responsibilities are properly managed and completed, including through effective coordination and smooth handovers with colleagues when transitioning tasks.
Agung also explained that an accountable mindset brings significant benefits to both individuals and the organization. Among these are increased self-confidence, stronger work ethics, higher productivity, improved quality of work, and greater opportunities for innovation and creativity in achieving shared objectives.
A similar perspective was shared by Dadi Fajri Tayeb, Human Resources Recruitment, Training & Development Supervisor at Harita Nickel. He expressed hope that knowledge-sharing sessions such as this would help Harita employees not only understand the company's core values, but also translate them into everyday workplace practices.
In closing the session, Agung encouraged all participants to consistently give their best efforts and strive to exceed established targets. He emphasized that a commitment to continuous learning and self-development enables individuals to create a greater impact for both their teams and the company.
Ultimately, accountability is more than a value written into the company’s culture—it is a character trait demonstrated through everyday actions. By embedding accountability into every aspect of their work, Harita employees can build trust, enhance performance quality, and contribute collectively to the company’s sustainable growth and long-term success.
