At ADESA Las Vegas, general manager Brenda Aden said it’s “excellent teamwork and communication, along with a dedication to regular employee recognition and development” that makes the Nevada auction stand out as a great place to work.

Teamwork, in fact, is her No. 1 priority in managing her staff.

“We take a personal interest in our team and communicate with them to encourage them to meet their goals,” she said when asked how she aims to boost morale as a manager.

Having a positive environment in the workplace can be critical, she said.

“Anytime you have employees who enjoy coming to work, it’s apparent to our customers. Our employees really put forth extra effort to ensure customer service is at its best,” Aden said. “This, in return, provides a comfort level for our customers who then enjoy working with us.”
