Transforming the Garage from the Inside Out
In the world of auto and diesel repair, Joey Coleman hit the nail on the head when he said, "You must own employee experience from the start." But let's be real, finding a tech who can differentiate between a wrench and a ratchet is like finding a needle in a stack of tires these days.
We all know the drill: qualified employees are rarer than a rust-free classic car in the Midwest. It's not just about snagging the best talent; it's about creating an environment where they want to stick around longer than it takes for an oil change.
So, how do we turn the tide? By driving the employee experience like we do a freshly tuned muscle car - with intention, care, and a bit of flair. It starts the moment they walk into your shop. Are you greeting them with open arms and a greasy high-five, or is the vibe more 'abandoned garage' than 'welcoming workplace'?
Here’s the kicker: a great workplace culture isn't just about making your shop a nice place to work; it's about boosting the bottom line. Happy techs make for happy cars, and happy cars make for happy customers. It’s a win-win-win!
Now, we’re shifting gears to you! How do you own the employee experience from day one? Have you turned your shop into a place where employees are queuing up to work, or are you still trying to figure out the secret sauce?
Post your questions, share your advice, and let's help each other build garages that are as legendary for their culture as they are for their craftsmanship. Whether it’s an epic onboarding tale, a team-building triumph, or a small gesture that made a big difference, we want to hear how you're revving up the employee experience in your shop.
Let's create workspaces that are as tuned-up as the engines we work on. Drop your stories below!
