After the "I Do"

Most companies have a probation period to cement the relationship of employer and employee. Prior to this the employee is arriving early, doing tedious tasks not presented in a job description, and conforming to the new culture of the company. The employer checks in daily, weekly and with supervisors. They are interested in there investment and make attempts to find out the nature, attitude and whereabouts of this new hire.

After the "I Do", some employees and employers alike begin to lose interest and the courting dance ends.

The employers cease to take care of the needs of the employee. In some estimations it is figured that since the employee is now full time that such practices have ended. The responsibility is strictly on the manager whose interest is as deep as job completion.

The employee senses this end to the courting and works as a reflection. While it is true that some are diligent and keep up the display of skills and willingness to help others, most are not. As the benefits begin, the dance ends. The true package is delivered and with it the behavior of a veteran employee. Tardiness, nine to five mentality and all other negative attributes surface.

After you say "I DO", as an employee or employer, remember the courting phase. Remember that both parties benefit from showing interest in the chosen field and both must work together for a better workplace.
