LaFontaine Subaru Voted Best Dealerships To Work For 2021

October 12, 2021 by LaFontaine Automotive Group

For the third year now, LaFontaine Subaru is honored to have been named to the prestigious list of the 2021 Automotive News Best Dealerships to Work For.

This is the tenth 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 program measures workplace satisfaction, talent retention and excellent care of employees through a confidential survey of employers and employees.

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.

Founded in 1980 by Michael Sr. and Maureen LaFontaine, the award-winning and nationally-recognized LaFontaine Automotive Group includes 48 retail franchises, 10 collision centers and 28 Michigan retail locations. The group employs over 1,800 individuals. It’s the mission of the LaFontaine Family to personalize the automotive experience by building lifelong relationships that connect families and strengthen communities.  The LaFontaine commitment to customers, staff, and local communities is demonstrated by active participation and contributions to numerous non-profit organizations, educational institutions and charities throughout southeast Michigan.

When it comes to family, you’ll be hard pressed to find an Automotive group more committed. The LaFontaine Automotive Group’s entire business is centered around “The Family Deal.” It is far more than a marketing slogan, as the entire family leads by example, making sure employees put their family first.

The LaFontaine Family puts a lot of resources toward continuing education for their employees. Investing in key people and talent has allowed the company to continue to grow and become recognized nationally as some of the top dealerships in the nation.

The LaFontaine commitment to customers, staff, and local communities is demonstrated by active participation and contributions to numerous non-profit organizations, educational institutions and charities throughout southeast Michigan. The combination of their mission and core values provide the basic foundation of their promise to their consumers; to treat every customer like they are members of the family. The LaFontaine Automotive Group stands by their mission statement of building lifelong relationships that connect families, strengthen communities and personalize the automotive experience. Along with that, their core values create guidelines for their employees to ensure the best work environment and loyalty for their customers. Their six core values consist of accountability, respect, teamwork, passion, communication and responsibility.
