Thrive is a call-to-action response to overwhelming evidence of salon professional’s lack of self-care and wellness. Thrive is a response to higher rates of cancers, depression, dermatitis, carpel tunnel, muscle pain and misalignment amongst salon professionals. Along with wellness imbalances, Thrive addresses typical beauty professional’s basic money management skills to stop living paycheck-to-paycheck and save for a future retirement.
Thrive encourages responsibility for personal choices by analyzing present actions that impact the future. The workbook’s activities and exercises focus on the adoption of new habits by making small daily changes, prioritizing needs, creating an emergency fund, planning for retirement, nutritional and movement strategies to enhance stamina, prevent physical injury and minimize the effects of workplace exposure to toxins.
Thrive is a solution for today’s beauty salon staffing challenges. With the beauty industry in a constant state of flux, salons need effective employee strategies to grow and retain today’s millennial. A salon owner must not only select, train and build an ideal team; now, you must provide incentives that encourage your top talent to stay put. A salon with a commitment to its staff well-being and happiness reaps the maximum rewards in job satisfaction and loyalty.
