Start by creating job descriptions, so you know the skills and qualifications you need for each position. Are there personal training certifications you\u2019re looking for? Can you add a specific type of fitness instructor to your team, like a yoga teacher, one who can teach spin classes, etc.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the interview, you\u2019re looking for someone who matches the vision you have for your business. Do you feel that \u2018click\u2019? If they connect with you, they\u2019ll likely connect with your clients. Ask them about their goals. If they aspire to grow, it shows you they\u2019re motivated to succeed, and that\u2019ll help you grow, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tough to get it right the first time, but trust your instincts. If the candidate connects with you, communicates well, and shows a passion for the industry, you\u2019ve got a winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-communicate-your-policies\">Communicate your policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/elevate-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your team needs to be on the same page<\/a> \u2013 any confusion or disagreement will be clear to your clients. Ensure that your team is on board with what\u2019s most important to you and the success of your business. Cover topics like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Company goals and mission statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/upgrade-fitness-studio-safety-cleaning-strategy\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-hire-more-fitness-staff\">Cleaning policies and what supplies are used<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work from home policies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discounts on merchandise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/rewards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rewards programs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tell-them-about-your-safety-and-health-policies\">Tell them about your safety and health policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The safety and security of your staff and clients is top priority! Make sure everyone is crystal clear on how your health and safety standards are next-level. Go through the following topics, so everyone follows the rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Importance of sanitization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sanitization station locations for your business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post sanitization requirements, such as handwashing guidelines and equipment disinfecting instructions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide masks for staff and clients who want to use them <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review placement of first-aid stations <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-invest-in-staff-development\">Invest in staff development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve hired the best, now make them even better! By improving your team and their qualifications, you\u2019re boosting your business, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they come on board, invest in the training they need to excel at their jobs, impress your clients, and build your reputation. This is also a great morale-booster! A team that feels supported will return the favor by working hard to see you succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t limit your team to what they\u2019re already great at! If they\u2019re not familiar with online classes, start showing them the ropes. If they can help you with your social media, get them trained to hit the ground running. The more skills your team can brag about, the better they\u2019ll be at helping your business.
