Background

About Thierry Canetta

Now more than ever, employers and HR directors are having to find new ways to invest in their people, boost performance, and increase employee retention in the wake of the Great Resignation. According to research from the McKinsey Health Institute, nine in ten organizations around the world offer some form of wellness program to help support their people’s wellbeing. To best serve the needs of the modern employee’s mental and physical demands, employers should consider integrating benefits that encourage staff to take good care of themselves. It has been proven that professionals who invest in their physical appearance are more likely to perform better and less likely to burn out. Research has found that good self-presentation has a positive effect on work satisfaction, job effectiveness, and relationships with employers, colleagues, and clients. However, in our hyper digital world it can at times become difficult to switch off and step away from the pressures of a stressful urban environment to make time for oneself. I co-founded COCON with the aim of providing an oasis for professionals to escape their busy lives for a moment of well-deserved me-time. Our professional beauty services in hairdressing, skincare, and nail care help our clients boost their confidence and add a touch of spark to their outward appearances while also helping them to achieve peace and tranquillity during the time they spend in our private, individualized ‘cocoons.’ COCON is so much more than just a salon; we are a community. We offer a place for executives and other professionals to escape the city life and offer themselves a moment of calm in our on-site coffee bar, garden, cafe, private library, or business corner. We offer an uplifting holistic beauty experience that treats our busy clients’ bodies and spirits. Prior to founding COCON, I spent 30 years in the hospitality sector managing businesses, so I understand the power that just one great experience can have. Having established and grown a restaurant chain that expanded to 25 outlets in 3 countries within 6 years, I also know the value and critical importance of having a high-performing, self-assured, and motivated team on your side. I would love to discuss ways in which you can help support and empower the members of your own team.
