The bond is used to enforce proper dealings and honesty by employees and prevent damage and theft that might occur.
Fidelity is the quality of being faithful or loyal. Dogs are famous for their fidelity. Fidelity comes from the Latin root fides, which means faith, so fidelity is the state of being faithful.
