Bosses always want people in senior positions who they can trust. That is, if they think we are trustworthy, they will likely be willing to entrust more responsibilities to us, which usually leads to promotion. Also, more responsibilities probably mean an increase in salary as well, so being honest will lead in most cases to financial benefits for us, especially if we are loyal and dedicated to one company for years. Furthermore, if we need a recommendation for promotion or a letter of reference for another employer, we can be sure that it will be readily available and will definitely confirm our virtue.

By telling the truth we avoid all the problems that come packaged with lies. One lie usually leads to another and then another until we are caught in a web from which it can be hard to free ourselves, and, there is nothing more horrible than having past lies come back to haunt you again. Being honest, we are able to go home each day with a clear conscience and can sleep soundly without the nightmares of being caught, losing our reputation and our friends.

Colleagues will have strong faith in us if we have a reputation for being honest. When a problem arises at work, colleagues are more likely to back up the honest party. Likewise, when in trouble, we will gain more sympathy and understanding from them. Honesty earns respect and respect brings trust. It also engenders successful team spirit, a happy work environment and a feeling of self-worth and self-confidence.
