NADA has conducted its Dealership Workforce Study since 2012, and the association describes the study as an examination of car and truck dealership compensation, benefits, turnover and retention, hours of operation and work schedules. NADA says the study helps dealers “stay ahead of the demographic curve.”

Now, the 2019 Dealership Workforce Study is open for enrollment for car and commercial truck dealerships.

Through dealer feedback, the association has updated the 2019 survey to gain additional insight into pay structure for variable operations positions.

The deadline for dealers to submit their data is May 15, 2019.

NADA member dealerships will receive two complimentary reports for participating, including a custom report with a Workforce Management Scorecard comparing and ranking their dealership against peer-level dealerships in areas such as compensation, retention and turnover. The 2019 Dealership Workforce Study National & Regional Trends in Compensation, Benefits & Retention Report is the second complimentary report.

Participating dealerships will also receive access to the Database Search Tool for up to one year. Through the tool, dealerships will find all the data submitted from past workforce studies, NADA said in a news release.
