SHIFT BREAK: Respecting Your Barista's Professional Boundaries

In the cafe, it is easy to lapse into assuming that people who work for you, should also be available and responsive at all times even when off the clock. The lack of quick response from staff when off the clock to calls, emails, slack messages etc is often considered some sign that the employee is not right for the organization and can have a negative impact on how that employee is perceived and invested into.  Today on Shift Break we talk about the importance of respecting the boundaries of personal and professional and how we should set healthy expectations for staff an ourselves in the coffee shop so we can avoid this toxic overlap.  If you are a cafe owner and want to work one on one with me to bring your shop to its next level and help bring you joy and freedom in the process then email chris@keystothshop.com of book a free call now:  https://calendly.com/chrisdeferio/30min Listen to related episodes:  SHIFT BREAK: Owners, It's OK to Make Mistakes Specific Expectations and Due Dates High Expectations + Low Control Reasonable Expectations Good Baristas aren't born, they're Made Thank you to out sponsors!
