We keep hearing the mantra, “the new normal.” But what is this so-called normal turning out to be?
Much of the country has reopened, and transportation companies are getting a peek into what it will take to recruit effectively, operate safely, and support their drivers in a world where coronavirus still looms.
There are complex issues involved, and they spawned some great discussions last week during our webinar, Keep on Trucking: Preparing for the New Normal. Featuring Chad Hendricks, host of the podcast Recruit & Retain: Trucking Edition, and Nick Wakefield, Vice President of Human Resources at USA Truck, this educational session delved into the strategic plans trucking companies should consider instituting right now.
If you weren’t able to participate last Tuesday, you missed out on:
- Recruitment tactics and resources to help hire drivers fast enough to beat turnover and keep pace with rising demand
- Driver health and mental health considerations for this new environment, with recommendations that can help cut health- and stress-related turnover
- Disaster planning to prepare for whatever may come through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond
It was an engaging converstaion made all the more interesting by the questions that participants brought for our guests. And the good news, you can still benefit from everything they had to say. Simply download your copy of the Keep on Trucking webinar free today.
The past few months have seen a tsunami of information and predictions, leaving most of us in need of greater clarity about the biggest issues we face and what to do about them. If you’re feeling that way, check out the webinar and let two transportation recruiting and HR experts help you navigate the uncertainty and provide their top recommendations.
It might just be the best 60 minutes you invest this month!
