I recently sat in on a roundtable discussion hosted by Gosiger that drew a handful of shop owners/managers in the Cincinnati/Dayton, Ohio area. The first question asked by Norm Vallone, president of MessageWorks who led the discussion on behalf of Gosiger, related to the prime challenges those shop principals faced. Not surprisingly, many pointed to the difficulty finding/growing good employees.
I wonder if this a problem that will be exacerbated because a growing number of young people don’t seem to be mechanically inclined or handy in general. Read this and consider commenting with your thoughts.
