Just a few thoughts
Attracting qualified staff and keeping them around is a core challenge for many climbing gyms and our industry at large. That’s why we’re excited to share last week’s webinar Hiring and Retaining Your All-Star Team where Gavin Heverly shares insider tips from his decades of experience. Anyone who manages or hires will benefit from watching. It’s available for just $59, or it’s free if you work at a Plus or Premium level member business, as are the other webinars in our Climbing Gym Management Series.
