Episode 327: Retaining skilled technicians in the heavy-duty repair industry is a challenge that many businesses face. High turnover rates can be costly and disruptive, impacting the overall efficiency and productivity of repair shops. Our host, Jamie Irvine, starts out this episode with a list of 7 things that owners and managers can do to improve their retention rates.
Our featured guest in this episode is Brett Delp, National Account Manager for Fleets at Stertil Koni. Brett tells us about their lifts for heavy-duty trucks. He explains how using these lifts keeps technicians safer and prevents many of the aches and pains associated with doing repair work by traditional methods. Technicians who feel safe and who are not wrecking their body on the job are more likely to stay longer at your company. Using these lifts also benefits the bottom line and results in better quality repairs so it is a win-win all the way.
