Scot Johnson has been named vice president of organizational development and human resources, a new position for Sport Clips Haircuts, the nation’s leading franchise dedicated to men’s and boys’ hair care. Johnson comes to Sport Clips with more than 10 years of experience with strategic human resource functions, organizational development, workflow process improvement and staff productivity.
“We are pleased to have Scot join our team and lend his expertise to enhance our on-boarding, training, and talent development programs,” says Gordon Logan, founder and CEO of Sport Clips. “We have had strong same-store sales growth of approximately nine percent over the past four years, and this would not be possible without our hardworking team members, both in our stores and at our Support Center in Georgetown. As our locations grow in number across the country, we want to ensure our team members grow as well - personally and professionally - and that we continue to establish Sport Clips as an employer of choice.”
