If you could benefit from some guidance with respect to managing, motivating,
compensating, and rewarding your club’s personal trainers and sales
staff, be sure to read the association’s newest publication, IHRSA’s Guide
to Managing Employee Performance: How to Incentivize, Measure & Reward
Outstanding Performance.
this guide will help you to: motivate sales, fitness,
and personal training staff; develop effective performance
metrics; empower employees to excel;
and improve your bottom line.
“Effective performance management has
long been known to promote positive staff morale,
increase productivity, and reduce employee turnover—all
factors that contribute to your club’s
profitability,” says Jay Ablondi, IHRSA’s executive
vice president of global products. “Clear and
reasonable performance standards, along with
market-rate pay and rewards for excellent work,
will help you foster a favorable, productive environment for your staff.”
IHRSA’s Guide to Managing Employee Performance includes five case
studies, which profile clubs with proven success in these areas. —|

By now, you’ve probably read the incredible
story of IHRSA’s “undefeated” 21-0
Public Policy record in 2009. If not, visit:
www.ihrsa.org/victories. these triumphs
are due, in large part, to the members
of the Public Policy Council, who pledged
more than $1 million to support the
Industry Defense Fund.
Unfortunately, the industry is facing
more dangerous legislation this year,
as nearly every state faces an enormous
budget deficit. —|
