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.
Who are your trainers to you?
Who are your trainers to you?
"It isn't just expert knowledge that is important! As anyone who had a bad teacher in school will attest to. All the knowledge in the world won't help you if you don't know how to impart your wisdom to others." (The Importance of Training your Trainers. 2010)
I believe it was Albert Einstein that said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!" Look at the astronomical turn over rate across all industries. What we've been doing for decades isn't working, and yet we just keep doing it.
According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer comprehensive training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training. But it doesn’t stop there. These companies also enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training.
None of this is possible without a skilled training team. Your trainers are in an EXCELLENT position to be team leaders, operational examples, coaches, and mentors.
For decades trainers have been a drastically under utilized organizational asset. It is your trainers / mentors that play an incredibly important role in employee performance and retention! It only makes sense that trainers / mentors be the "Go -to," and set the example for ALL of your organization. With that being said, let me ask you this. Are your trainers / mentors appropriately trained for that role?
Drop me a line. Let's see if perhaps I can help.
