Vice President Ryan Radosevich on improving employee retention: “We have team-building events. For example, this year we hosted the team to a Wisconsin Timber Rattlers baseball game. We hosted lunches to celebrate team wins in all departments and have looked for open positions within the store to promote growth and retention.”

Radosevich on offering a long-term career path: “We have a defined career development plan that can map out a career from part-time detailer to general manager that crosses both fixed and variable operations. Inside our plan, we develop key leadership competencies such as being results-driven, emotional intelligence, ability to develop others, process management and strategic thinking. We couple that with position knowledge assessments that allow us to tailor a plan to grow our team in functions of their current and future roles and in leadership.”
