Auto Care Insider Volume 108 - 11

"For NAPA, what could be better than to invest in great people and watch
them grow and benefit the company in so many ways? Comprehensive
leadership development programs like LEAD make this possible."
Why do you think it's important to
encourage education and professional
growth in your employees?
There are many reasons beyond the obvious. At a basic
level, you must train employees to do their job the way you
want it to be done. Beyond that, it becomes an investment
in the future of the company and the employees. When
it benefits both, it's easy to encourage people to do
it. As a company, we must continually invest in our
employees at all levels if we are to have great leaders in
the future. This investment helps us retain those future
leaders and helps us attract more people like that.
What are some of the ways fostering
education has furthered your company's
overall goals and objectives?
Every successful company wants to grow and
expand and do new things. If you don't have strong
employees ready to make these things happen,
you just can't do it. We develop leaders at all levels

so that we can attract new customers, open new
stores, expand our business through acquisitions,
and implement new cutting-edge technologies to
make us more efficient and more competitive.
What positive impacts have you found
from investing in your employees?
Investing in employees, whether it's through training or
something else, sends a message that we as a company
see value in them. That message is personal - to each
and every employee. We see their potential, and are
willing to spend some money to help them realize that
potential. Companies don't have to do that - and many
don't. What message do those employers send? You
were hired to do a job, and we'll pay you for it. Period.
When you invest in employees, their whole attitude
changes. That manifests itself in so many ways: employees
are happier, more enjoyable to be around, miss fewer
days, stay longer, become leaders, the list goes on and
on. And yes, productivity usually improves too.
