CASE STUDY
Growing Minds, Inc. is a national chain of retail outlets specializing in
creative toys and innovative learning materials for children. The company

caters to the upper end of the market and focuses on customer service for
a competitive advantage. It provides workshops for parents and children
on topic such as learning with the computer and indoor gardening and
offers crafts classes ranging from papier-mch to pottery.

Growing Minds plans to expand and to open five new retail outlets in the
coming quarter. This may mean up to 200 new hires, and the executive
team wants to make sure that the best propel are hired and retained. It has
issued a challenge to its retail management personnel to design a staffing
process that will accomplish these goals.

The childrens market in which Growing Minds operates demands service

personnel who are endlessly patient; knowledgeable about children, toys,
and learning; and, perhaps most important, sociable, enthusiastic, and
engaging. Excellent customer service is the top priority at Growing Minds,
and obtaining the desired performance from personnel has meant a major
investment in training. Unfortunately, new workers often leave within a year
of being hired. This means that the company barely gets an adequate
return of the training it has invested in its new hires. Apparently, turnover is
due (at least in part) to the demanding nature of the job. Recently, Growing
Minds has been emphasizing the establishment of work teams to improve
the quality of its services, identify and fix any problems in service delivery,
and brainstorm new opportunities. This approach has yielded better-thananticipated results, so the team concept will be central to the new outlets.
