Back when I was practicing law, I had the privilege of arguing before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The court was six hours away, and my boss directed me to leave two days prior rather than just one. Instead of driving six hours, spending the night and making my argument the next morning, she wanted me there for two nights so I would be rested and ready.

Looking after staff well-being has tangible benefits for an employer. Having arrived a day early, I was able to visit the courtroom—a magnificent and intimidating space—and get more comfortable. I practiced my argument to a vacant bench in an empty courtroom. Along with rest, getting there early gave me a leg up in the battle that was coming.
