“When it comes to the technician shortage in our industry, we have plenty of anecdotal examples to share,” explains MRAA Vice President Liz Walz. “But we need to get a firmer grasp on the extent of the challenges marine retailers are facing and what’s driving them, so we can focus our programs and benefits on the most effective solutions. Today, there is little data to define this problem, and the survey will help us change that.”
Take the MRAA Workforce Assessment Survey Now
A primary purpose of the workforce assessment survey will be to give MRAA the data needed to address the shortage of skilled marine technicians. Responses will provide MRAA with a clearer picture of how many dealerships need technicians, as well as other positions, and what strategies they’re currently employing to fill those openings.
The survey, available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MRAAWorkforceAssessment, will take less than five minutes to complete. Participants will be asked questions about their company workforce, including whether they have open positions, plans to grow their staff and more.
