While cohesive teams are often made up of people with diverse talents from different backgrounds, what ties them all together is a strong sense of identity drawn from their place of employment. They share values, goals, and processes. They share wins and losses and have to work together in order for the car wash to be as efficient as possible. A cohesive group is like a group of fans rooting for the same sports team – all working together toward a collective win. Your operation is only as good as your team, and making sure you have the right people on board is vital to your profitability and your success. This session will discuss the ingredients for building a cohesive team and the strategies you need to retain them
