HIRE FOR

DIVERSITY
Dare to Look Deeper Into Your Talent Options
W
e all know that there is an employee shortage.
You need great people, and you need
them fast! Unfortunately, the talent pool is
not very deep. That makes this is a perfect time to focus
your hiring strategy on merit while creating diversity
within your dealership.
These talent shortages found throughout the automotive
industry have made way to include minorities
and female candidates as a big part of the solution for
filling your people gap. Studies show that companies
with diverse teams are eight times more likely to have
better business outcomes, six times more likely to be
innovative and agile, and 21 percent more likely to outperform
on profitability when in the top quartile for
gender diversity. The culture shift will help you gain
positive and profitable momentum and attract more
female consumers, your most influential customer
segment!
I am not here to say that gentlemen are " bad " because
they are definitely not! Women aren't either. Adam
60
and Eve were put on this earth to work together and
use their strengths and weaknesses to create a better
world. The truth is that men and women are physiologically
built differently. Hiring for merit (skill) and not
for gender is a sure way toward a smoother path to a
diverse work culture.
Ed Roberts is a fantastic role model (and case study)
that every dealership can learn by example. At Bozard
Ford, Ed gives everyone equal opportunity. He has
studied his dealership, what makes it tick, and what it
needs to be a well-oiled machine. His employees are
intentionally placed by skill-level as the right human in
the right position regardless of gender or race. He focuses
on merit and delivering stellar results. This process
naturally cultivates a diverse workplace. The female
consumer is given equal consideration to ensure
she feels comfortable doing business with Bozard.
You may be thinking, " So, where do I start? " Here are
the three first steps you need to take to hire for merit
while cultivating diversity within the workplace.
