A comprehensive career plan and education programme are provided to all its people, from trainee to franchisee, to ensure quality remains consistently high across the network – whether through delivery of service, customer care or brand experience.
The group’s ethos of providing continuous, free training to its people not only engages and motivates but also ensures a network of experts which ultimately help build successful salon businesses.
The company’s compulsory induction training for all new team members, from trainee to franchisee, ensures all Saks people are immersed from day one in the brand and its values, signature techniques, consultation, customer care and company systems and policies.
Saks franchisees are trained and nurtured with a range of business workshops run by leading industry experts and the group’s senior managers. In addition, hands-on training is delivered to new salon owners from experienced franchisees who are assigned as mentors to share their daily experiences of running a salon. Also, one-to-one sessions between Saks’ business development managers and franchisees are tailored to meet individual needs. All this, along with the Saks Operations and Policy Manuals, assists them in the successful day to day running of their salons.
Saks franchisees have a time plan to work to which involves either working on the salon floor or front of house, holding weekly team meetings, ensuring salon standards are adhered to, completing regular staff appraisals and/or one-to-one meetings, training the team on in-salon customer care and procedures, implementing local marketing strategies and salon events, ordering stock, and setting and controlling salon budgets.
