Getting to know the personal side of your employees can have a very positive result.
There is no question that you have a business deal with each individual employee that clearly assures both sides the following: eight hours work for eight hours pay. You are not required to give anything more, and neither are your employees. However, with almost all good individuals, if you give a little more than what is owed or expected, they will do likewise. You should also consider a very realistic attitude: If the company doesn’t care about me, why should I care about the company?
