At Bozard, we recognize that our team members are our greatest strength, and their success drives our success. Bozard University is dedicated to fostering their growth and development to ensure a thriving future for all.
Bozard University is an organizational resource that provides all team members with learning and development opportunities that align with the INSPIRE tenants and encourages each individual to continue growing, both professionally and personally, as they navigate their journey with Bozard Ford Lincoln and beyond.
For decades, typical car dealership training consisted of step-by-step instructions provided by a stranger and scripts to memorize that someone wrote years before. This method made one big assumption —that all employees learn the same way. Although the word development may not seem much different than training, Bozard University is setting out to prove that it is. Development means growth and advancement.
The pursuit of development allows those seeking it to begin at different stages of their journey. This gives them the opportunity to absorb information and ideas in ways that are best for their learning style, in order to become their most authentic and unique self. Development meets everyone where they are and moves them forward at their own pace. The outcome is the Best Team on the Planet and a whole lot of people chasing (and reaching) their dreams!
Innovation is the key to distinguishing ourselves as leaders as opposed to followers. We will push ourselves to explore new technologies and create leading-edge approaches to bring our products and services to market. By doing this, we maintain Bozard Ford Lincoln’s position as a premier company in Northeast Florida and a leader in the automotive industry.
Anything worthy of our efforts is worthy of our best efforts. If we can’t provide a top-notch product and first–class experience in all our endeavors, we will not attempt to deliver that product or service.
We are humbled by the history and character of the community in which we work and grateful for their loyalty to our dealership since 1949. With our people being our greatest asset, we give back through the efforts of our Bozard Family Foundation, our resources, and most importantly, by supporting the endeavors of our associates to make their neighborhoods, schools, and communities a better place for all.
We are proud of who we are. We have confidence in the integrity and values that our company represents, giving us a bold voice to share the message and vision of our brand with anyone whom we may cross paths.
Using our own imaginations we are able to put ourselves in the shoes of others as we navigate through their time with us. We work with open minds and open hearts, knowing everyone we encounter has a story we may not know yet.
We conduct our operations, our facilities, and ourselves with the utmost respect for all others at all times. We value the contributions of our team members, our customers, our community, and our families for their impact on our success.
Inspired leaders, cohesive teams, and a laser-sharp focus line us up to continue to break down the walls of the conventional auto dealership. The experience we provide starts with engaged employees creates engaged customers and builds caring, trusting, life-long relationships.
