The English Aromatherapist
I'd love to hear your thoughts on BOTH sides of this debate - employers and employees.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about a recruitment crisis in the beauty industry. Apparently a shortage of qualified therapists means that salons and spas literally "can't get the staff".
The cause has been blamed on many things: from poor quality training courses to the rise of beauty treatment apps. Plus, many therapists are only working in salons for a short time before leaving to go mobile or work from home.
Personally, I'm not surprised that so many therapists are leaving, because - in my experience - so many of them are overworked, underpaid and not treated well in salons. Going mobile gives therapists flexibility, freedom to choose their own hours, freedom over their treatments, and the potential to earn much more.
I published a post on my blog this week about this issue ( I won't post the link as I don't think I am allowed) - but I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences about this.
