STAFF RETENTION

1. Monetary Staff compensation

  1. On the spot scenarios when hiring.
    Train staff and include scenarios. Ensure you are trained first.

COMMUNICATE with staff often, keeping all updated, equipping them with info and authority to say yes more to certain scenarios, show initiative, letting us know that you are willing to go the extra mile. Be present or available if they are not sure and need to check with you.

RESPECTFUL TREATMENT is important, especially to RUDE CUSTOMERS
We are NOT always right. We believe we are though, so staff can still try to respect our position and do their best to cater to our wishes.

Exceed our expectations. We will remember it.
Provide something extra for free that the customer wasn’t expecting.

Remember, we have a choice.
It starts with YOU.
