Girouard on learning how to be a better employer from managing through the pandemic: “It has forced us to adapt frequently and while keeping our employees top of mind. To this day, our hours continue to be reduced, and our team really appreciates that about our company.”
Girouard on long-term changes in hiring or employment practices because of the pandemic: “We can perform at a higher level by having a few less people. Our variable folks now have the ability to make more money while working less hours. Our turnover has been almost nonexistent.”
Girouard on diversity, equity and inclusion as it relates to hiring and employment: “Penske Automotive Group has always been a highly diverse organization, which I have admired. What is going on in the world seems like others are paying better attention to maybe improving in a space we have always done well with.”
