Welcome back!

We’re back with part three of our monthly mini-series, all about events and this week we want to cover salon staff events, because [a staff that *plays together*, *stays together*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh7fTgZx98k)! 

At the beginning of the month we discussed the opportunity to [create some competition by hosting a Cut-A-Thon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSDs26hjSvs) at your salon, last week we focused on loving on your clients with [a client appreciation party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHfI23aTfcM&t=3s), but this week it’s all about your employees!

## **Tip #3: A Staff That Plays Together Stays Together**

Want to build some camaraderie amongst your teammates and foster a super positive in-salon culture? It’s time to get the gang together outside of work for an all-staff event!

Whether you own and operate a team-based salon or all of your employees are booth-renters, it’s important to get everyone together outside of work once in a while for some fun!

Not only can your clients can feel the energy that lives in your salon, but your employees deserve a little attention too. A staff party is the perfect way to bring everyone together and keep the positive vibes flowing. 

### **Get the *****Entire *****Gang Together Once in a While**

You can put together a fun, celebratory staff event in a variety of ways and you could host something like this at your salon as often as you’d like. That being said, we recommend that you get the* entire* team together at least twice per year for a little fun. (Yes, I’m talking to you, multiple-location salon owners!)

So, for those big teams out there, your full-staff events might require some more formal planning. Maybe you put together a holiday party during winter and host a cookout in the summer months so that your staff can prepare for these events well in advance. 

### **Small Salon Groups Can Have a More Casual Get Together**

Of course, if you’d like to break off into smaller groups for some immediate team building, that could be a bit more casual. 

This could mean each salon location schedules a time to get together quarterly for a fun night out on the town. Or you could break it up even further, maybe your front desk team meets for casual cocktails once a month at the end of the work week or your stylists schedule a hair-day at the salon to freshen up each other’s locks on a Sunday when you’d usually be closed. 

There are so many ways to celebrate your team and it’s important to encourage them to celebrate *one another* and to build that positive in-salon culture because everybody deserves to enjoy their workplace.

Stay tuned for next week’s week blog to see which in-salon event we suggest you add to your calendar next!
