Build-A-Bear Workshop consistently strives to empower associates in every way possible. That’s why they’ve created a unique concept in retailing for store managers, full-time World Bearquarters and Bearhouse associates called Honey Days.
Honey days encourage employees to use his or her best judgment in the use of available time off, whether it is for vacation, sick days, religious holidays or to attend to personal business. If you’re familiar with Patrick Lencioni’s book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, then you understand just how important trust is to a team and it’s ability to operate.
