b) Organigram
Arrange an Organizational Chart of the
business in order of positions, and the
reporting structure from the CEO/Business
Owner to your casuals and apprentices. This
is critical to any business as it draws a clear
line of authority and communication for every
employee.
c) Succession Planning
As a business grows so will the structure and
model of the business change - resulting in
different needs, strategies and above all the
creation of new positions with new skillsets
required.
There might also be a redundancy in some
roles or areas of the business. Thinking and
planning ahead is critical to the success of an
expanding business.
Leadership development
Leadership skills are becoming more
recognised with a growing realisation that we,
as salon owners, need training and
development and that it is necessary for us to
identify who in the business or organization
has leadership traits to become a team leader
or Clinic Manager.
Synergy-Round Peg/Round Hole Theory
Identifying the right person for the right
position is critical for the future success of any
business. This affects staff retention,
promotes a positive culture and results in a
good team spirit. A good therapist that loves
the job should be encouraged to improve and
be duly rewarded.
A good Manager should also be encouraged
and rewarded as every role is equally
important and no one role is better than the
other. We need to build that culture and
recognise this theory and create synergy.
Staff Ownership
Staff training and development is the other
side of the coin. Fostering effective
communication, self-belief, confidence, and
ensuring staff take ownership of their job role
is one of the biggest challenges for any
employer in most businesses.
Encouraging staff to ensure the business
remains profitable is essential to business
longevity and to their employment!
