Monetary finances are not the only investment options which exist. Investment can be made in real estate, futures, people, relationships, and in businesses. People can spend time and energy on important investment decisions, or they can entrust their resources with others who are experts in their field. For example, it may be too much of a hassle to plan and collaborate all of your employee drug testing, but Mediscreen’s onsite drug and alcohol testing services can come to your business, saving you time and money. This would be an investment in our expertise.
The most valuable investment you can make is in people. Strong interpersonal communication is the most valuable asset that any organization can possess. Unfortunately, strategy and the bottom line often come first, detracting from both job satisfaction and personal accomplishment once a task is finished. Rani Chaudhry-Lawton and Angela Terry write about this in their article, “Investing In People,” published in Industrial and Commercial Training, Vol. 23, Issue: 7. People skills are a far greater asset to any business than correct and flawlessly executed strategies. It is this familiarity and comfort which clients and potential clients can derive from well-rounded interpersonal skills which helps to solidify preexisting plans for increased revenue.
As you can see, financial investments are only part of a well-rounded and solidified business strategy. Without properly developed people skills, the entirety of your business may not be grounded on very much strength. Investments keep producing positive results and strong client relationships produce positive revenue for your company.
Interpersonal skills are especially valuable with regard to competition in the business world, according to Chaudhry-Lawton and Terry. When companies are competing in a fiercely popular industry, their need to offer a wide array of strengths, including client relationship skills, becomes part of a leading edge. Another part of this edge is a strong asset protection program which includes regular drug and alcohol testing for your employees. Mediscreen offers onsite drug testing for the convenience of your business. We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver fast and efficient service to Western Australia at a reasonable price.
