“It feels good to know our employees are happy to work here,”
said Steve Handler, General Manager at Audi of Oxnard, one of ten
Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) stores being recognized and awarded
as the “Best Dealerships to Work For” in 2018.
Automotive News’ annual list, now in its 6th year, gives
dealerships across the nation the special designation as “one of
the best” based on positive feedback from employees. A survey
distributed to nominated stores helps to measure employee
satisfaction.
“We’re proud of all of our stores that participated in the Best
Dealerships to Work For program,” said Bryan DeBoer, President and
CEO of Lithia Motors. He added, “It’s a great example of our
mission Growth Powered by People. They create their own cultures
that are appropriate for their local customers, franchise and team
members and this results in higher employee satisfaction and
customer satisfaction.”
For Lithia’s Tim Hlavenka, General Manager of DCH Montclair
Acura and four-time recipient of the honor, the results of the
competition hold a lot of weight. “This is my favorite award
because it’s so nice to know that the people who work here enjoy
coming to work and our customers feel it,” he explains. “To know
that we have created a good atmosphere, makes me feel good.”
Along with the aforementioned Audi of Oxnard and DCH Montclair,
Audi of Des Moines, DCH Honda Temecula, DCH Kay Honda, DCH Lexus of
Oxnard, DCH Millburn Audi, Honolulu Volkswagen, Island Honda and
Lithia Hyundai of Reno have all been recognized for their
extraordinary staff experience and team morale.
When asked how they create a positive and hard-working
environment, several General Managers acknowledge Lithia
leadership. “Lithia supports us in creating a positive work
environment,” explains George Yazbek, GM of DCH Lexus of Oxnard.
“As one of our core values, having fun is important in the work
place and we appreciate that our company encourages that. A happy
team makes for happy customers.”
