In today's episode, we explore the importance of investing in people and fostering a sense of belonging within a dealership. We discuss how creating an environment where employees feel empowered to contribute to the success of the dealership and their own personal growth is key to retaining top talent. Our guest shares their experiences with NCM Labs, an innovative initiative designed to teach people how to approach industry challenges and develop creative solutions.

Creating that roadmap for employees to visualize their future within the dealership can be very powerful in terms of retention.
