2022 SERVICE DEALER CONFERENCE

Thursday 24^th November 2022

Conference theme: Sustaining Dealerships

Recruitment, Retention and Succession. These three topics come up time and again when speaking with dealerships. How can we get fresh blood in? How can we keep great talent? And, when retirement is pending how do we best address the issue of succession in the family-owned business?

Our conference speaker line-up offered new insights for employers, supporting them in preparing for the future and creating a motivated workforce, addressing the full life cycle of an employee from the start of their career at a dealership, right through to their potential take-over.
