The future of the beauty workforce has been a cause for concern for some time, so the news this month that some schools are putting barriers in the way of pupils taking vocational courses such as beauty therapy has been met with anger. Although schools are obliged to introduce learners to all types of course from a young age, many are preventing this from happening in a bid to keep students on in school for A Levels and access the associated Government funding. Find out more in our news story on page 17. While this is certainly not the only reason fewer good therapists are entering and remaining in the industry, it’s undoubtedly playing a role. However, as we enter February, the focus on retention becomes even sharper. It is widely recognised as the most popular month for job moves, as the impact of New Year’s resolutions take effect, so our feature on page 111 explores how both employers and therapists can take advantage of the more buoyant market, holding on to those staff who are worth keeping, and finding new ways to attract good therapists who are looking to move. Creating opportunities for career growth is an important route to staff retention and there are more than ever on offer at Professional Beauty London this month. So, be sure to check out our full preview from page 68, where we reveal all the product innovations and business training at the show. From the new Salon & Spa Networking Lunch to the revamped World Spa & Wellness Convention, PB London brings more opportunites to share the challenges you face every day and learn real-life solutions from the industry’s best.
