29 Compli Clients Make the List of the Best Dealerships to Work For
Running an auto dealership isn’t easy. Aside from the everyday rigors of doing business, members of the automotive industry have to abide by a staggering number of rules and regulations. From consumer protection measures like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Red Flags Rule to truth-in-advertising laws to employee wage and safety standards, dealers contend with more than 80 federal statutes—not to mention state regulations.
That’s what makes the Best Dealerships To Work For so impressive. Companies selected for the list not only flourish in a highly regulated environment but do so with high rates of employee satisfaction and retention.
Released annually since 2011 by Automotive News, the Best Dealerships To Work For recognizes and celebrates dealerships across North America that put their employees first. Only 100 dealerships qualify each year.
Here’s how it works: Best Companies Group, which manages the program, collects information about participating organizations’ company policies and demographics, as well as direct feedback from employees. The employee engagement and satisfaction survey includes questions about the employer’s leadership, corporate culture, and level of workplace safety, as well as each respondent’s pay, benefits, feelings about the company and opportunities for advancement.
It all adds up to a detailed chart of the most caring, supportive and fun auto dealers throughout the US. And while certain traits of the best employers remain the same each time around, it’s interesting to watch industry-wide trends emerge.
