Quality vs. Quantity Time

Quality time is especially defined by personal enjoyment of the time spent on something or with someone. Quality does not, in perfectly logical terms, have to involve deep meaningful conversation. It can be simply bonding together over sex or enjoying a football game together. Quality time becomes very subjective between two partners or between business associates who are trying to make a deal. In fact, the very definition of a power breakfast or power lunch is that in which everyone gets the highest quality for the time spent in discussion.

So, in the business, world, what are the real differences between quality and quantity time? The purpose of quantity time, how much time you spend in association with a partner or company, will affect how solid their reputation is over a certain period of time. If their products or services show consistency or value and if their company shows stability and good management, this is an indication of their quality. Their quality measurement increases as this consistency and value persists.

This means that the quality-quantity ratio has very real interconnections and that you cannot really separate the two. Whenever the question of either arises, your first question should be, “Are we being consistent?” After consistency is evaluated and found to be even, then you can move on to the safety of your staff, then the efficiency of your operations, and end with the quality of your end product or service.

In other words, even the quality is affected by deeper roots and attitudes. In order to keep these attitudes straight and parallel, you may need to implement or step up your workplace drug testing. Employees should feel as if they are working in a safe, secure environment, and this is especially true in high hazard industries. Protocol absolutely must be followed. Investment absolutely must be made. Your employees are the life blood of your company, and their safety equals the safety of your company. Drug screening, particularly onsite drug and alcohol screening, really creates a framework within which to build a good solid set of safety rules.
