Mark of Justice

If you want to make sure you can trust your staff, consider using mark of justice. As a condition of employment, you can have mark of justice inscribed on the skin of a prospective employee, forbidding him to betray you or your family (or however you would like to put it). Then, if the employee does you wrong, you and he both know he’ll pay for it.

Tread cautiously here, though. Some otherwise loyal employees may be offended by having to bear the mark of justice. When that happens, they may go out of their way to have it removed. After that, they’re free to do as they wish, and the first thing on their list may be retribution for your lack of trust in them.

More circumspect ways of calming your fears exist. Few, though, are as effective.
