Automotive industry hiring expert and founder of Technician Find Christopher T. (Chris) Lawson was recently invited on the Ratchet + Wrench Radio Podcast with Chris Jones to discuss a crucial topic that has long troubled automotive repair industry owners and managers: the turnover of good technicians. Technician Find helps independent automotive repair shops across the United States hire and retain top talent. From this perspective, Lawson brings to light a powerful employment industry study that identifies the top reasons why employees decide to leave their jobs and how these reasons pertain to auto repair technicians.
A recent study was done by McKinsey & Company that revealed the top reasons why people leave their jobs.
According to the study, the top eight reasons why people resign include:
Lack of career development/advancement
Inadequate compensation
Uncaring/uninspiring leaders
Lack of meaningful work
Unsustainable work expectations
Unreliable/unsupportive colleagues
Lack of workplace flexibility
Lack of support for health/wellbeing
Lawson emphasizes, “When you look at the eight top reasons why people leave their jobs, notice that virtually every single one of them has to do with company culture. When you work on your company culture, you not only close the back door with good employees leaving but you also attract top talent to come in the front door.”
Lawson breaks down each of the eight reasons, offering specific examples and actionable strategies that auto repair shops can implement. The goal? To not only retain their prized technicians but also attract the best talent in the industry.
