Every beauty salon owner has had to get to grips with huge amounts of employment legislation during the coronavirus crisis, but on the flipside, there’s never been an opportunity like this to redefine the rules and regulations you need in place to restart the business when the time comes. Hellen Ward will talk through what she's done to update her business's terms and conditions of employment, staff handbook, and policies and procedures, and spring-cleaning operations to come back slicker and more productive.
