A recent study found that drivers are more likely to leave an employer if they’ve received poor safety training.
Driver turnover is at 94% across the industry. Why?
Key factors contributing to the high driver turnover rate include:
Lack of safety training
Lack of driver recognition
Drivers want to feel recognized and appreciated for their good driving records, safety practices, and hard work.
Dispatcher/driver relations
Dispatcher behavior is a key influence on a driver’s satisfaction or dissatisfaction with your trucking company.
With driver turnover costs surpassing $10,000 per driver, your company can’t afford to ignore driver retention.
How Infiniti-I Workforce Solutions boosts your driver retention practices
A majority of driver turnover happens in the first 90 days of hire. Infinit-I provides a better onboarding experience for your new drivers.
With Infinit-I, drivers complete their orientation when it is convenient for them. This means less missed work, less downtime between jobs, and more money in the driver’s pocket. The Infinit-I system can assign orientation materials 30 to 90 days after orientation, which improves assimilation into the new job.
40% of employees who receive poor training will leave within a year, studies show. Infinit-I provides consistent, ongoing, and quality training.
Infinit-I Workforce Solutions can be utilized to deliver training to drivers during pre-orientation and throughout their entire employment with your company. For every delivery, your employees will know exactly where to go, what to do, and how to do it – resulting in less frustration for both parties.
Infinit-I helps drivers succeed, building driver loyalty.
When drivers are out on the road, they often experience detachment from your company’s internal communication. This is a huge problem, because studies have found that drivers who feel “out of the loop” of company communication are more likely to leave. With Infinit-I, your company executives can instantly communicate with all your drivers around the country, building driver loyalty and decreasing your driver turnover rate.
