Woodhouse Spas’ signature services and luxury, day-spa environment position it above other would-be competitors in the space. While the most obvious draw is for clients, these unique traits are also attractive to service providers — a key benefit for franchisees in the current market.
“It’s no secret that massage therapists and estheticians are in demand,” said Lindsay Waldron, director of operations, corporate spas. “They’re highly sought-after in the industry, so this increases the competition between businesses. But, continued success in our hiring ventures really comes down to making relationships.”
Woodhouse Spas is known for its luxurious environment, and this translates directly into a rewarding work environment where service providers are well-compensated and feel they have room to grow.
“Woodhouse does a fabulous job with compensation. We’re very competitive in the market due to the high-end service we provide, and the gratuity that comes along with those,” Waldron said. “Compensation-related conversations typically go quite smoothly with providers because our average hourly rate is much higher than what you might find at other establishments in the space.”
This alone is a key component to attracting and retaining great providers, and the Woodhouse atmosphere only builds on this baseline. Many providers are interested in working in a luxury environment like the one Woodhouse offers. Unlike a run-of-the-mill big-box concept that is highly focused on throughput, Woodhouse’s emphasis on hospitality and luxury creates a calmer, more relaxing environment for team members.
Service providers get into the industry because they want to make a difference, providing healing, pampering experiences for their guests. Woodhouse’s diverse, sophisticated services keep providers engaged with their work and support them in feeling like they are practicing their craft rather than checking a box each day at work.
“We have a much more extensive service menu than some other massage-only establishments or in-and-out, discount retail massage places,” said Ariel Clay, chief operating officer. “We have signature services in all of our categories that are unique to Woodhouse. This creates a bit of variety in what they do. A lot of providers like innovation. They want us to keep up with the trends and the latest and greatest technology. We do that whereas a lot of employers in the category do not.”
Franchisees and their teams are not alone. They operate within a network of engaged, mutually supportive business owners and team members who are all committed to a high standard of success.
“The Woodhouse system has a sophisticated, high-performing, high-expectation group of people who put the guest experience first and foremost in everything they do,” Clay said. “Everyone, from the spa level to the leadership team, is highly engaged and very supportive of one another.”
Waldron shared that there are massage therapists who have been with the brand for over 15 years, and others who have worked hard to stay within the Woodhouse network, collaborating with franchisees in different markets to transfer to another spa when they relocate.
“Our service providers love working with us because they know they have a great team and standout brand behind them,” Waldron said. “There are growth opportunities for providers with roles like lead massage therapist, brand ambassador and corporate trainer. These career-building opportunities, which can be difficult to find elsewhere in the industry, alongside Woodhouse’s environment, compensation and commitment to innovation is what attracts providers and encourages them to build long, healthy careers with us.”
