Carla’s Hair Salon has recently converted to team-based pay and it's a switch that will benefit employees and customers.
The premise is simple. Every member of the Carla’s Hair Salon team is focused on serving the customer and building the business. Customers don’t “belong” to one employee; they may be served by the entire staff. Skill certification ensures that the services are performed the same for every customer.
"This new program is great for our staff and great for the customer. We all want one thing: to ensure that every customer is satisfied, every time. By redesigning our training program, our staff gets the tools and incentives to make sure that each customer receives the same high level of service, even if it's the first time that they're working with that client," explains Sharif, Co-Owner of Carla's Hair Salon. "It's truly a win-win all around."
"Team-based pay is the next generation of rewarding staff for team excellence and serving the customer to the highest level," agrees Neil Ducoff, founder/CEO of Strategies, a Connecticut-based company that assisted with the transition. "This truly focuses the team on best serving the customer. Congratulations to everyone at Carla's Hair Salon for their forward business thinking."
