Keep Your Team, Get Them to Care, and Stop Doing It All Yourself
If you own a Hair Salon, a cafe or are in the service industry, this is a simple playbook for you.
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“How do I keep staff?”
“How do I get my team to care more?”
“How can I stop doing everything myself?”
—you’re not alone. The good news: a few simple habits, done consistently, make a big difference. And yes, gellibn helps you put those habits on autopilot.
1) How do I keep staff?
People stay when work is clear, fair, and they can see a future.
Do this
Set clear expectations for every role (what “great” looks like).
Give a simple growth path (e.g., Junior → Senior → Educator ).
Run short weekly 1:1s and recognise wins quickly. - you can do this on gellibn
Publish rosters early and keep them predictable. Try not to change working hours around too much, people love predictability when it comes to their time.
Make the first 90 days of new recruits rock-solid: welcome, buddy, 30-60-90 plan.
How gellibn helps
Expectations & skill ladders: show standards and steps to progress.
Onboarding checklists (30-60-90 days): new hires feel supported from day one.
Weekly 1:1 templates: quick check-ins that actually happen.
Recognition: fast shout-outs tied to your values.
Pulse feedback: short monthly check-ins with “you said / we did.”
2) How do I get my team to care more?
People care when they feel supported, trusted, and part of something.
Do this
Give ownership (assign a person, not “everyone”).
Act on their feedback and show what changed.
Keep targets simple and visible.
Celebrate effort and progress, not just the final result. - (this is key)
How gellibn helps

Goals & progress: simple targets by role with tracking.
Ideas & polls: gather input and publish a “you said / we did.”
Recognition & rewards: easy, specific, and consistent.
Message centre: share wins and updates in one place.
3) How can I stop doing everything myself?
Trade “founder firefighting” for clear systems and owners.
Do this
Map the work, assign owners, set due dates.
Train a couple of leads; meet weekly for 15 minutes.
Standardise your messages and checklists so handover is easy.
How gellibn helps
