We\u2019ve put together this list of staff retention tips to maximize their performance and set your studio up for success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-hire-the-best\">1. Hire the best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we\u2019re not talking about the most educated, the most qualified, or the most experienced here. Think most passionate, most enthusiastic, and most willing to learn. That\u2019s not to say that experience doesn\u2019t count, of course, but attitude is what determines whether a staff member is a valuable asset to your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find employees who want to work with you, who share your love for Pilates, and are eager to learn and improve. Those employees will grow with your business, and if you\u2019re lucky, their positivity will rub off on the rest of your team, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you find the right fit? It can be tough to get it right the first time, but don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re all learning as we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to interview with the goal of finding candidates with great attitudes. Already have some great team members? Ask them for a candidate referral! They might just be a great resource in searching out like-minded team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work on building a Pilates staff that\u2019s positive and encouraging, your business will reflect your great choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-listen-to-your-staff\">2. Listen to your staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes a staff member feel appreciated and valued? A boss who listens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your employees for suggestions on improving your processes, better serving your clients, upping staff morale, and anything else you think might help! They\u2019re your representation on the front lines, and they can offer you real, valuable feedback to make your business better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-11659\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"\/knowledge-sharing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-2.jpg\" alt=\"A happy group of Pilates instructors. \n\" class=\"wp-image-11659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-2.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-2-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Listen to your staff. Do they have new suggestions? Opinions? Questions about your studio? Keeping an open line of communication is key to maintaining a happy team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do they have ideas for new classes? Are they looking for more vacation time? Have they suggested a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/features-your-pilates-studio-software-should-have\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=pl-staff-retention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new software<\/a> or staff training? You don\u2019t need to adopt every new change or embrace every suggestion, but validating their contribution will make you a great boss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is it important to be a great boss? According to a similar Gallup poll involving 7,212 employees, statistics showed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.com\/articles\/the-benefits-of-highly-motivated-employees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50% of people<\/a> surveyed had left full-time positions because they were unhappy with management. Takeaway: great bosses keep great employees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of those staff motivation tips that can be a challenge, but a happy team is a productive team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening can be harder than you think, especially when it involves criticism about your business, but rather than taking constructive suggestions personally, look at it as an opportunity to build trust with your staff and make your studio the best it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-build-a-family\">3. Build a family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to your employees effectively is even easier once you get to know them. They\u2019re your work family, and building a family means building a loyal, long-term team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it this way: when you work for someone you consider to be family, you don\u2019t want to let them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a genuine interest in your team! Who are they? What are they interested in? When you\u2019re all working together towards one common goal, your Pilates staff will want to contribute to the success of your studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-share-the-responsibilities\">4. Share the responsibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust your Pilates staff with some responsibility and watch them soar! When you show confidence in your staff\u2019s abilities, they\u2019ll believe in themselves and want to make you proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have an employee who wants a bigger job title? Give them a chance! An enthusiastic team member? Put them in charge of training new employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for your team\u2019s strengths and find ways show off and build on those strengths to turn an impressive team into superstars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-together\">5. Get together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to keep your all-star team happy and motivated? Remind them that you\u2019re a team by having a little fun and working together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it seems like common sense, but it\u2019s easy to get lost in the day-to-day running of your business and forget that the people who bond together perform best together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure how? Organize a tournament day where healthy competition pushes each side to perform at their best as a team. Do some exercises where your Pilates staff can have fun building trust. Or maybe you want to undertake a charity event to help make a difference together.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-11658\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"\/knowledge-sharing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-1.jpg\" alt=\"A group of Pilates teachers celebrating. \" class=\"wp-image-11658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/How-to-keep-your-Pilates-Staff-motivated-and-happy-1-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bond with your staff outside the studio!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The key is to just go out and have fun together! Bonding is a fantastic way to build a strong team of loyal, happy employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does getting together bring your team closer together, it also shows your staff that they\u2019re valued and important to you. If you\u2019re willing to invest time and money into their performance and happiness, they\u2019ll invest in you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-give-them-perks\">6. Give them perks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you feel as an employee when your company offers you incentives, rewards, or perks? Would this make you feel appreciated? Valued? Motivated to perform at your best? When someone values you as an important member of their team, you tend to want to live up to\u2014or even exceed\u2014their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the best approach? Start by finding out what your Pilates staff is interested in, what would motivate them best, and do what you can to offer what they need. Here are a few different routes you might take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discounts and freebies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider giving your Pilates staff a discount or a free membership as a reward for their loyalty. Have a long-term employee? Maybe they are interested in a discounted membership for their family. You can also offer free merch or prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the best ways to incentivize your team and work towards offering what matters most to them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partnership perks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could develop a relationship with other businesses, where you could offer perks to one another\u2019s employees! You never know when you might need an ally in business, so these types of partnerships have more than one benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get started by visiting a local restaurant, gym, clothing store to see if there\u2019s interest. Consider soliciting multiple stores to be able to offer your team perks they can really use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outside the box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your employees what would make them the happiest! Do they want more time off? Maybe you could implement a day off on their birthday rule. Are they interested in a higher income? Consider staff contests where they could win a cash prize. (Maybe for the staff member who signs up the most memberships in a month?) Would incentives motivate them? Work on developing a tiered system with achievement-based bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to take a standard approach. Look at what your employees need and find ways that suit you both to deliver on your promises, keeping your team motivated and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You all win when your business grows, and your team consists of long-term, high-performing, motivated Pilates staff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-prioritize-work-life-balance\">7. Prioritize work-life balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Work-life balance is something we\u2019re all striving for in today\u2019s hectic world! If you recognize that this is something important to your team, you\u2019ll get ahead of the game and ahead of your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earn the reputation as an employer that really cares about their team! Ask for your staff&#8217;s input on how to manage a better work-life balance. If your staff knows that their lives are important to you, they\u2019ll be motivated to make you (and by extension, your business) a priority, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you show you really care about balance? Schedule your staff in reasonable blocks, be flexible with their scheduling needs and take an interest in their social lives. Employees are more likely to remain motivated and happy when they feel like they\u2019ve got you on their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is, people who feel valued and appreciated tend to work harder. The old adage \u2018treat people the way you\u2019d like to be treated\u2019 is highly applicable in a work environment. The secret to keeping your Pilates staff satisfied and inspired is to treat them the way you wish your employer would treat you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching for interested employees, listening to your team, building a family, trusting your staff, and making work-life balance a priority will grow your business in ways that spending money on problem-solving never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be a great boss, and you\u2019ll develop a team of happy, motivated, and highly productive Pilates staff superstars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to get your team pumped to perform?
