Don’t Get Sued—Stop Sexual Harassment

in Your Dealership Now

Also: Upcoming Women in Automotive Conferences

By Brett Stevenson
As more and more sexual harassment
complaints surface across the country, it
may be time to check the policy in your
dealership’s employee manual.

For a long period of time, the car business
was a bit of an “all-man’s-land,” with only
a few women employed at dealerships.
Things are changing fast now, and the
culture change may come as a shock to
some in your dealership departments.
As an owner or manager, it is incumbent on
you to take responsibility for updating both
the dealership culture and the employee
manual.
