The integrity of practice involves displaying good character, leadership and moral judgment in the workplace. Fidelity is faithfulness in the workplace while implementing the required practices and coordinating these practices with others (Chakrabarti & Prakash, 2013); Beidas & Kendall, 2014). Employees who practice fidelity and integrity in the workplace can understand right from wrong and incorporate the same quality to their practice.
During the implementation process, it is important to test whether something is working or not through feedback. This method helps the group or the organization to use the best possible procedures or methods when carrying out the final project (Harn, Parisi & Stoolmiller, 2013). It is the best means of attaining the best possible results and succeeding in a particular project.
Setting common standards and expectations is also important when implementing a given project. Common standards help in ensuring fidelity of implementation.
Fidelity of implementation is doing a specific task at a given moment in a particular manner. It requires following the set rules, guidelines and timeliness (Slaughter, Hill & Snelgrove-Clarke, 2015). This specifications conflict with the context during implementation since the context may present varied aspects considering that one meets and deals with other people.
There is an implicit relationship between fidelity of implementation and flexibility. While members of a particular group in a project should adhere to the set guidelines, rules and schedule, they should also do so in consideration of the context in which they are implementing a given project. Considering the context is important as there might be changes and inconsistencies that the concerned stakeholders have not anticipated that might alter the course of their activities (Andrade & Cizek, 2010). It is in such scenarios that the interested parties should be flexible even when observing fidelity in the implementation. Considering the context brings about flexibility inform of changes in the manner of execution and time schedules.
