Podcast From Scene Genesis Features Industry Veteran Mark Claypool on Workforce Development for Collision Repair -- and

PITTSFORD, NY, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Collision repair shops need to focus on developing their technicians in
order to give themselves a competitive edge, states Industry Veteran Mark
Claypool in the newest podcast from Scene Genesis.

Now is the time to establish a plan to train and provide clear career
paths for employees. Shops that make the effort will be able to realize
greater ROI and be well positioned to hold onto top staff once the job
market loosens again.

A technician who is mentored and supported can become a producer in 90
days, compared to the industry average of 4-6 years. It's a very
worthwhile investment, says Claypool.

This is the latest of "Topics in Ten," a monthly podcast that brings
opinions and ideas to the collision repair industry.
