Part 3 : How to treat your staff right?

The golden rules

22. Make sure staff facilities promote comfort, a sense of wellbeing, and a positive attitude towards you... in turn, employees will repay you with hard work and commitment.

23. It is difficult to describe an ideal layout for the staff area, as it will vary depending on the nature of your business. 

24. Just like your shop floor and fitting rooms, these areas must be kept clean: it’s not just a question of hygiene, but a question of respect!

Little extras that count

25. Improve the everyday lives and morale of your employees by adding green plants, colourful crockery, tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, etc. 

26. Also consider the wellbeing of your staff on the shop floor, by providing stools to reach high shelves, a quality ergonomic chair for the till, etc.
