Why ‘how we treat each other matters’ should be at the core of any attraction and retention strategy.

My company is suffering a truck driver shortage. To me, the reason is obvious why.   On 6 February 2024, 20,473 truck driver jobs were advertised on Seek.com.au – despite there being over 200,000 truck drivers working across the country.   Why is this?   I think the answer is more simple than we realise.   The answer isn’t in some ‘problem’ within the market. The answer is in the mirror.   Our industry (and our culture), for many years, haven’t treated our drivers the way they should.   I read one article published a couple of years ago written by a driver who said:   “Drivers are treated as cash cows by governments, scape goats by government agencies and various motoring bodies and other self-interest groups.   “Many employers treat them as a necessary evil…   “Most of the general public have absolutely no idea that just about everything they need for everyday life depends on the services of road transport and its drivers.   If this is how our drivers feel,   Then it is OBVIOUS why we have a shortage.   I try my very best to make my drivers feel that they are integral part of my business.   They are not a “necessary evil”.   They are a fundamental source of my company’s success.   If our culture and our companies change their attitude,   Maybe we’ll start seeing more job applications come through.
