Commerce, Michigan, 9/14/2018 – LaFontaine Subaru was named one of the 2018 Automotive News Best Dealerships To Work For. This is the seventh year that Automotive News has partnered with Best Companies Group to identify dealerships in the U.S. that have excelled in creating great places to work.

The top dealerships on the list will be profiled in an Automotive News special section on Oct. 15, 2018.

LaFontaine Subaru is very proud to be recognized as one of the 2018 Automotive News Best Dealerships to Work for in the automotive industry. LaFontaine Subaru was critiqued by a two part survey, conducted by Best Companies Group. The survey consisted of two parts:
Part I – Employer Benefits & Policies Questionnaire: The employer completes an online survey, detailing dealership policies, practices, benefits and demographics.
Part II – Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey: Employees complete an online survey of in-depth statements using a scale of 5 points ranging from “Agree Strongly” to “Disagree Strongly.”
The results are analyzed and categorized according to 8 core focus areas: Leadership and Planning, Corporate Culture and Communication, Role Satisfaction, Work Environment, Relationship with Supervisor, Training, Development and Resources, Pay and Benefits, and Overall Engagement. LaFontaine Subaru was 1 of 100 dealerships to receive this award in the U.S. this year.
