We have gone through a crisis that is yet to come. Footshop benefited from slimming down
After a decade of growth, Peter Hajduček planned to leave the management of Footshop, but the spring crisis postponed these plans indefinitely. “I’m not thinking about it now, nor am I at the point where I’m deciding what I personally want,” he states.
Nand since this summer, a large screen has been hanging behind the entrance door of Footshop’s Prague office, on which daily sales jump directly from the wall to the order. “Million usually falls there around twelve o’clock, so we have developed such a habit that we don’t go to lunch until it is there,” explains Peter Hajduček, the boss and founder of one of the largest online stores with sneakers in the Czech Republic, with a smile. It’s just before two o’clock, the sign says 1.6 million, the Footshop employees are long past lunch.
“A lot of us now live by numbers. Since the screen is there, people are much more aware of what is happening in the company. It increases their awareness and involvement, and at the same time reminds them that we have to have a good result every day,” says Hajduček. The company’s communication network now also receives the total sales for the previous day every morning, which the employees already discuss at 9:30 a.m.
