143. Why Your Salon Staff Hate The KPI'S You've Set & What You Can Do About It

If a salon team rolls their eyes every time KPIs are mentioned—or flat-out ignores them—the owner isn't alone. Most salon owners face the same struggle: inconsistent KPI results, frustrated leaders, and demotivated staff. In this episode of the Creatress of Freedom Podcast, host Annie breaks down exactly why staff might hate the KPIs that have been set—and how to transform them from a source of resentment into a tool for motivation and growth.
