Investing in your employees -
Thinking about employees (dance teachers in this instance) and thinking about investing in them physically but more importantly emotionally. Everything a business does with its employees should be based off of #1, once you have that down you just start thinking differently.
1) Our teachers are our brand, we can talk all we want but they are physically it.
2) Must start talking to and listening to our employees. Individual coffee chat once a month is better than a group meeting each quarter because nobody walks away from group meetings feeling energized and important.
3) Write a hand written thank you note, 5 minutes, 43 cents. Less than an hour and less than five bucks per month for all employees combined.
4) Buy flowers or chocolates for all of the teachers and hand them out in front of students, public displays of affection are ok outside of high school.
5) Create a list of teachers strengths, than start to cater jobs towards those.
