I completely agree that kindness strengthens relationships. Providing your sick employee with medicine and extra financial support was incredibly generous of you. It is often said that kindness begets kindness, meaning that when you show kindness to others, it often leads to a cycle of positive actions. One act of kindness can inspire another, creating a ripple effect that spreads goodwill and warmth among people. Your employee reacted positively to your actions.
