AUT2404. HR Strategies & The Road to Success at Your Dealership Group

Change is inevitable, especially in the auto industry. Whether it be a new generation entering the workforce or ongoing merger and acquisition activity, there are endless opportunities for growth—and no space for complacency.

Stay ready and drive your dealership group forward with a panel moderated by Suzanne Malo, Managing Director of Executive Search at Forvis Mazars. Our panelists, human resources directors with mid-size family-owned groups, will discuss their experiences with the people side of acquisition integration and offer helpful tips to maintain HR consistency across multiple stores, such as best practices for hiring, retention, risk, healthcare, and more.

In addition, hear first-hand accounts of how others navigate two critical people management groups—long-standing generations that have been at their dealership group for decades and new employees entering the workforce—and implement HR strategies to align with their dealership group’s business goals.

Learning Objectives:

• Use strategies for HR consistency as your dealership group acquires new business or undergoes a transition in its workforce or leadership.
• Select proactive talent retention plans to find the best and brightest people for your organization.
• Identify ways to communicate effectively with your current teams during acquisition integrations.
