A major challenge facing gym owners is finding and keeping a team of top-notch personal trainers on board. In this episode, we discuss the concepts and strategies for dealing with trainer turnover.To illustrate the point of turnover, we will use the River & Ponds analogy, which says that some people will come into your business, and it will be a river for their career. This means they will be here today, and then the current (the market) will take them somewhere else in a short period of time. The opposite is the pond, where employees stick around for a long period of time.Surprisingly, they both come with their own challenges.How to go about making it a win-win for everybody in two different situations is the topic of today’s conversation, so stay tuned.Learn more at: http://bit.ly/alloy_franchiseKey Takeaways- Rivers and ponds concept: Short-term and long-term employees (1:15)- Old is not always gold (3:32)- Mentorship: A test drive for both the employer and the employee (3:42)- Starting with the easy part, that often is your training protocols (6:57)- It’s not a bad idea to ask them how long they plan to stick with you (9:17)- Helping people grow (11:30)Additional Resources:- Alloy Personal Training- Learn About The Alloy Franchise Opportunity---------You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
