Retention Starts Before Day One
Retention starts before day one.
With market volatility, companies are hiring more.
But many forget that retention starts in the interview.
Candidates notice how decisions are made, how leadership communicates, and how processes operate.
These early impressions often dictate long-term engagement.
Hiring is more than a transaction.
It’s a signal about leadership and stability.
Upskilling Isn’t Optional
Upskilling Isn’t Optional
Technology, compliance, and dealer expectations are shifting fast.
Winning companies invest in talent development, not just in recruiting new hires.

2026 Will Reward Clarity
2026 Will Reward Clarity
If there’s one theme I see emerging for next year, it’s this: clarity wins.
Clarity in communication, clarity in strategy, clarity in expectations.
Candidates, clients, and teams all respond to it.
Organizations that know who they are, what they value, and how they work will hire better, keep employees longer, and act faster.
Uncertainty will always exist.
But clear leadership gives people a reason to stay, perform, and grow — no matter what the market does.
