Process Overview
Client description
5-star spa in a luxury hotel
Pain points
Spa therapists trained the newcomer in between seeing clients. Because of this, the training was rushed as they tried to fit in as much as possible before their next client.
The spa was brand new so there were no existing training materials.
Process
This upscale spa had very specific procedures spa therapists had to follow when interacting with guests. I broke down the process into three sections:
Pre-session
During session
Post-session
I outlined the steps involved in each section and included Forbes standards throughout. This reinforced the usage of specific terms and processes vital to maintaining the elite 5-star designation.
To maximize time, I designed a hybrid training. Prior to the in-person training, the newcomers reviewed the slides and videos. This allowed for us to spend more time working on soft skills and hands-on aspects of the job.
