Are You Looking Through Windows OR Into Mirrors?

Trucking companies need to start taking a real hard look at themselves.
Are you and your organization looking through windows, or into mirrors?
When an organization believes that all of their problems, particularly driver recruitment and retention, lie outside of their organization they are looking out windows. "Nobody wants to work anymore!" With enrollment in CMV driving schools at a historic all time high, what are you and your organization doing to attract and retain new / experianced drivers?
On the other hand, organizations that look in the mirror recognize, "Hmmm. Maybe it isn't that they don't want to work. MAYBE, it is that they don't want to work for ME / US! What do WE need to be doing in order to attract and retain drivers?"
The answer is quite simple actually.
- A complete, thorough, and welcoming onboarding process involving all departments and all key players.
- A thorough and supportive training / mentoring program with trainers schooled in the fundamentals of adult education and learning.
My Insights
Let's Be Very Clear
Please allow me to clarify something here. Apparently there are some misunderstandings of what exactly it is that I do. I Do Not teach hard skills such as driving skills. My area of expertise is the teaching of soft skills specific to trainers . These skills apply to all trainers, across all industries. The principles are the same.
Things such as,
- The Role Of The Trainer
- How Adults Learn
- Motivations And Learning
- The Four Stages Of Learning
- The Effects Of Cognitive Overload
- etc...
Stop The Insanity!
So, with that explained, I will keep the rest of this as succinct as possible . The entire trucking industry, and most of the motoring public, all complain about the quality of CMV drivers today.
"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." (Albert Einstein)
So what? Its the other guys problem? If you see a problem, do something about it. It is within your power fix.
Without a robust, and welcoming on-boarding program, comprehensive training, and highly trained driver trainer / mentors the industry is just going to continue the insanity. You want better drivers? Stop being part of the problem and start being the solution you want to see! MAKE drivers you can be proud of.
Create the quality of driver you and your organization want!
Try something new. Give me a call and together we can make a difference in your company, and our industry.
