We’ve marketed, recruited, and hired, now comes the daily efforts towards retention! In this third and final workshop participants will be asked how you communicate safety, company processes, and schedule which are naturally important to a colleague who drives. Feeling appreciated, being engaged in decision making, and having open coaching as part of your culture are foundational to the driver and our industry! Here we have the perpetual ongoing last step in the driver lifecycle. We will openly chat about how to gain trust and partnership with our driving team members, as well as how to potentially turn around a soured relationship through communication.

Leadership Communication: Every Word Matters

Through shared learning, rich conversation, and effective educational practices the facilitators worked to equip attendees with practical and logical approaches to leading with our communication. When, where, who, what and how you communicate matters to you, your colleagues, and your business’ successes or failures. They also discussed what leadership communication actually is no matter what position you hold. Participants can expect to leave with improved interpersonal communication, nonverbal awareness, and enhanced overall awareness of how our intentional communication impacts our business relationships.

1 p.m. ET – Friday, June 11:

Recruiting and Retention: Communicating Value and Need

In this second session, the facilitators helped participants build on leadership communication skills by focusing efforts toward an obvious industry need; Recruiting and Retention (R&R). From a communicative standpoint, they discussed at various levels: driver marketing/recruiting/positioning tactics and practices, the onboarding process, company appeal, driver benefits, messaging, and reputation. This session takes a holistic look at your company’s R&R efforts and potential misses.
