Free webinar will cover recruiting, training, retention of technicians
TruckNews.com will host a free webinar exploring practical strategies to recruit, train, and retain heavy-duty technicians.
Sponsored by Fullbay, the webinar will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 1 p.m. ET, with a panel of industry leaders sharing insights on this pressing issue.
Moderated by James Menzies, editorial director of Today’s Trucking and TruckNews.com, the panel will feature Jay Goninen, co-founder and president of WrenchWay, Keith McMaster, president of Fireweed Heavy Truck & Equipment Repairs, and Jim Pinder, corporate fleet director for Erb Group.
Experts will explore what the next generation of technicians seeks in a career and how companies can identify candidates with high potential, even at the high school level. Panelists will also weigh the pros and cons of hiring experienced technicians versus developing talent from within.
When it comes to training, everyone learns differently. So, panelists will talk about finding the right tools and methods to engage new technicians and prepare them to handle new, advanced systems that are now emerging in the market — like advanced safety features and alternative fuel engines.
The conversation will wrap up with a deep dive into retention issues, where experts will discuss how to recognize early signs of technician dissatisfaction, benefits, and compensation structures that best motivate techs, and initiatives that have proven to reduce turnover.
