Keeping drivers safe and productive amid the coronavirus pandemic has taken an all hands on deck approach by fleet management and office staff, even when many are working remotely from home.
On May 27, a panel of human resource specialists will discuss strategies their fleets are using during the virus outbreak to keep drivers safe, healthy and mentally well for the virtual CCJ Symposium, “Upshift: How to Find Opportunities During This Challenging Time.”
One of the panelists is Jessie Burnette, chief people officer of Hirschbach (CCJ Top 250, No. 65), a refrigerated truckload carrier with more than 2,000 power units.
During the COVID-19 crisis, Burnette has been involved in creating company task forces to support drivers, office staff and their families. One task force is run jointly by the company’s wellness team and HR department to provide a 24/7 COVID hotline.
Fleet executives, find out how to keep drivers and keep them safe.
