Key Talking Points

  • The complex multilevel market for women- but it’s only a piece of the entire market in the automotive industry
  • Upshift- create more in-depth training and coaching for businesses and individuals focused on culture, leadership skills, diversity inclusion (including women), developing the workforce. Developed during COVID. Ask Patty has 4 certifications. Grow your knowledge base and see things from different perspectives. Upshift is in piloting mode until 12/31/2021. 
  • Why do people change jobs? No career path, no training, not feeling appreciated
  • Certifications- workforce, culture, leadership. 4 workshops per certification, once completed you earn the certification. 
  • Training needs to start earlier than millennials- are GEN Z’s prepared to be managers? The workforce is consistently getting younger as boomer’s retire. 
  • Hiring technicians and retaining them- develop relationships, react fast
  • Being the top shop- invest time and money in training and leadership. 
  • Unconscious bias- being open and welcoming, changing your dialogue and being inclusive 
  • Are you taking advantage of the total available market? Do you see every opportunity available to you? 
  • Ask Patty- women are the tip of the iceberg for the entire market

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
