Staffing Your Spa for Success in 2008

With the new year upon us, it is time to take look back at what we did great last year and what we could improve on.  Staffing is an on-going issue that most of us could use a helping hand with.  Was the difficulty staffing your manager and department head positions, or was the challenge in the hourly and part time positions?  Do you have high turn over in your existing staff?  Are you getting qualified candidates for your open positions?

There are a few concepts to consider when looking to improve the staffing program for your spa or salon.  A better retention program, an applicant tracking program and an employee referral program.  I will delve deeper into each one of these in my next entries.  If you can find a way to dial in each idea to fit your spa or salon, you will be able to hold on longer to your current staff and have more luck when hiring new ones.

It is important for companies to position themselves more competitively - having more efficient, productive staff and keeping operating expenses low.  An organizations biggest asset is its people, and also its biggest expense.  If you want to increase your staffing success, might you consider using SpaandSalonJobs.com?
