When should staff members read and initial the communication log?

Staff members should read and initial the communication log each time there is a new entry. This practice ensures that all team members are consistently informed about important updates, changes, or issues that may arise within the gym environment. By initialing, staff members not only acknowledge their responsibility to stay updated but also create a clear record of who has reviewed the information. This helps maintain accountability and allows for smoother operations, as everyone is on the same page regarding member concerns, management directives, and team communications.

Other options, such as only reading the log during training sessions, once a week, or solely in staff meetings, do not promote the same level of ongoing awareness and responsiveness to real-time developments that the communication log is intended to facilitate. Regular engagement with the log supports a culture of teamwork and communication within the facility.
