      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.

      Matt Fanslow addresses misconceptions in the automotive repair industry, focusing on a viral social media video about tire repair. Matt explains the importance of following manufacturer protocols, the risks of improper repairs, and the need for ongoing consumer education. He emphasizes the long-term integrity of honest repairs and advises consumers to ask questions rather than assume malintent from repair shops.

      This week Chris Cloutier is my guest on the podcast - and not just as my boss or a sponsor of this program - but as an excellent communicator and influential leader and one who I feel is exceptionally talented at delivering GOOD feedback.
      Even for people with above average communication skills - the necessity to give feedback is often one of the most uncomfortable situations regularly faced in our lives and careers.
      In this focused conversation - Chris provides his valuable insight on the topic along with several stories while sharing his heart for being a positive influence in others lives. 
      I knew this needed to be a conversation for an early episode of Speak Up!
      Chris has massively influenced my own communications journey, and it’s a real privilege to be able to invite him to share on a topic we routinely discuss, as it’s a topic that our working relationship has revolved around for these last several years.
      Listeners looking for inspiration to improve their skills dealing with feedback will enjoy hearing what Chris has to say.
