Welcome to CarmCast Episode 091: Employee Amenities. This is another Why and How CarmCast and is repurposed from our LIVE broadcast.

I recommend you watch the video so you can see pictures of top-notch employee amenities from JJ’s Auto Care and Kelly’s Auto Repair. Both shops are located in Florida, and with that humid summer weather, you’ll see a refreshing way their tech’s beat the heat! Showing your employees how much you value them can also be as easy as providing lunch once a week or once a month.

Head to the CarmCast Page on my website remarkableresults.biz or my youtube channel to watch the video and find the key talking points for this episode. You might want to watch previous Carmcasts on lean processes and digital signage!

Providing a comfortable break room- clean area for eating breakfast or lunches. Tables, and chairs. Stocked fridge, microwave etc.
Providing lunches once a week or once a month- eating together is actually a hidden team building exercise without the actual meeting event. Social atmosphere and friend basis instead of coworkers in shop.
The world will wait while everyone eats lunch- consider closing shop for an hour to provide a break for your employees
Technician bathroom- air conditioned with shower. Give your techs the opportunity to cool off or get ready for an appointment after work.
Embroidered towels for each technician- JJ launders them weekly himself
JJ has cocktail hour Friday evenings
Kelly added bathroom and shower when he was renovating an office for his wife- he also redid the breakroom with drywall, table, chairs, pizza plate, TV, fridge etc
Celebrate employee wins- Kelly got a cake for when his tech received ASE master technician certification
Kelly lowered the temperature of building by having protective coating applied to reflect the sun
