As you've probably heard in a previous episode, we are in the process of hiring a new coach for our gym here at Pulse Fitness. During the process, we encountered a situation we’d like to share with you in case you run into it.
All gyms have training schedules that they need covered by their coaches. When hiring coaches, you may come across a scenario where your schedules don't work with the availability of the new employee. They may have family obligations, or they are working another job, etc.
The question that arises is whether you should bend your schedules to accommodate the potential employee. Tim strongly advises against this. Even if you are desperate for a new coach, bending your rules to the demands of a new employee is not a good business practice.
It creates a snowball effect, which affects other roles and eventually creates confusion in the business. Your business operating hours and job functions are what they are and that is what you offer. They either take it or leave it.
Tune in to this episode and hear Tim and Randy discuss some best practices around hiring new employees as well as tips on writing an effective job description.
