A simple question:
Would you rather hire a truthful person or a deceptive person?
Screening potential candidates based off their personality, while innovative,
doesn't address whether the candidate is a truthful or deceptive person.
Harvard conducted research identifying differences between deceptive toxic employees and truthful employees and found the following differences:
The study revealed that while high-performing workers might contribute positively, toxic employees impose much greater costs. These costs include decreased morale, higher turnover, and even potential legal risks, with the financial harm far outweighing the benefits of hiring top performers. The study found that avoiding a toxic hire could save a company approximately $12,489—more than double the estimated benefits of hiring a superstar employee.
The research identified traits common in toxic workers, such as high self-regard, overconfidence, and a rigid attitude toward rules, which paradoxically can be predictive of rule-breaking. The study also noted that toxic behaviors, such as bullying or misconduct, tend to spill over and affect other employees, making the work environment more detrimental overall.
Summary:
Truthful employees were more loyal to the company they worked for leading to a higher level of reliability where deceptive employees were not.
Truthful employees were more inclusive with their co-workers and fostered a more stable work place where deceptive employees tended to cause disruption and malcontent amongst their co-workers through frequent conflict.
Truthful employees tended to be more long term employees where deceptive employees tended to be shorter term employees.
Truthful employees didn't pose legal risks where deceptive toxic employees did.
