DSA Releases Results of Compensation & Benefits Survey
The Day Spa Association (DSA) recently released the results of its first Compensation & Benefits Survey. The report highlights the main methods of compensation and employee benefits currently being used in the day spa industry, and brings attention to those factors which are critical to maintaining a profitable day spa, such as the rate of pay, retail sales commissions, health insurance benefits, retirement plans, and the cost of performing spa services. The results of these findings will no doubt have a tremendous impact on how day spa owners and service providers will continue to assess one of the single most significant issues in the day spa industry -- how to pay spa employees.
"Because payroll is typically the largest expense in operating a day spa business," comments Hannelore Leavy, executive director of the DSA. "It is extremely important for spa owners and managers to be able to access valid research that will help them to understand and weigh their options. As an industry, it is also imperative that we benchmark those issues which are vital to our growth."
