#retention

Today we invite Tracy Winkler, a professional EOS implementer and growth expert in the transportation and logistics industry, to share her insights on driver recruitment and retention. Tracy, with a storied background in the trucking industry and experience in leadership, discusses the importance of finding the right people in the right seats for sustainable growth. She explains that hiring individuals who align with the company's culture and core values is crucial for motivation and engagement.

Jackie and Tracy’s discussion focuses on the frustrations faced by leaders in the transportation industry, such as lack of control, insufficient profit, and feeling stuck. There is a strong need for carriers to address these challenges by prioritizing people and their alignment with the company's vision.

Motivating and empowering employees involves finding individuals who not only possess the necessary skills but also share the company's values and exhibit a desire to go the extra mile. By ensuring the right people are in the right seats, leaders can create a positive and productive work environment that drives the entire team towards the company's goals.

Friends in the Industry -

In today's episode, I am super excited to speak with Stephanie Carruth, owner of Minds for Matter.

As an industry leader, I really respect Stephanie's journey, as she’s really focused on bridging the gaps in the transportation industry. During our conversation today, Stephanie walks us through some must-dos when an organization is developing an onboarding program, and what can be done to help retain top talent.

A huge takeaway from the conversation today is when Stephanie walks us through ways to really consider retention while navigating through the onboarding process. Additionally, when Stephanie highlights her appreciation for professional drivers, I really appreciate her deep sense of appreciation - absolutely incredible!

Today, I’m super excited to bring back to the podcast my friend Teresa Kiyawasew, owner of Kiy HR Services, and is also known as the HR Wizard!

During our conversation, Teresa and I dive into what are some key components of hiring correctly and guides us through the first part of an employee’s life cycle, known as Attraction. Here, we dive into key components you need to implement when considering hiring, actually hiring, and onboarding.

Teresa shares some must need advice for organizations to implement right away that are currently, or about to, hire, that will help them overcome some of the challenges that come with recruitment and retention!

During our conversation, Teresa mentioned two things that were huge takeaways for me.

First, when you mentioned “do you even need the position” and how you work with clients on completing a job analysis ahead of time – so much value for both the employee and the employer here to be confident in the needs of the role which helps make the right hire.

Second, when you mentioned being careful of the information you’re getting, and shared the story of the case law situation, super powerful and so true – we need to ensure we are complying with the correct laws!

I highly recommend checking out episode #88 on the Truck Focus Podcast, which is the original interview Teresa joined me on and you can learn more about her journey!
