Of course, when you’re in business, you can hardly “court” your employees, nor would you want to.

1. Appreciation Wins over Speculation
We all love to feel appreciated. Remember, when you were courting your best girl or guy, how good
it felt for them to give you compliments, for them to plan special gifts and surprises for you, and
how good it felt for them to just hang over your every word and look. Remember how good that felt?
Now, picture how things were after you had been in a long term relationship for a long time. There
was a lot of speculation, wasn’t there? “If you would just take out the trash, the kitchen
wouldn’t smell this bad.” “If you actually exercised a little bit three times a week, only a little
bit, then you would be in the same shape you were in college.” Well, you get the picture.
Appreciation wins over speculation every time. Every….single…..time.
Of course, when you’re in business, you can hardly “court” your employees, nor would you
want to. However, you may find it helpful to really exude the “public persona” of someone who
wishes to appear as well and gracious in public as possible, even if you are dealing with employees
who have been with you for over twenty years.
The personal touch, that added little bit of appreciation, really makes a huge difference to people.
But this personal touch is lost in business transactions with your clientele and business partners if
one of your employees shows up to work under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs. So, for this,
you need regularly scheduled drug testing. It’s not only a good idea, but pretty much necessary in
order for you to be able to maintain control over your business without taking it too far and trying to
control your employees themselves.
