Like Ways Europe, we are convinced that a happy driver is someone who gets better at his job and who feels that he is of value to his company. That is why we recently started Ways Europe’s innovative Smart Driver Coaching program to jointly improve the return of our company by intensively coaching drivers on their performance.
Goals Smart Driver Coaching Program
For many, we are a social and involved employer. We attach great importance to good contact with our drivers. In addition, like Ways Europe, we are aware that good drivers are not readily available. That is why it is important to take good care of your drivers. A happy driver is of great value to our company and the transport of fuels places high quality demands on the carrier. That is why a lot of attention is paid to training and development of the drivers. The goals of this Smart Driver Coaching program are:
- continuous work on the performance of the drivers
- improve communication between drivers and office
- promoting sustainable employability of the workforce
Performance improvement incentive
Ways Europe uses Smart Driver Coaching to analyse our data in an intelligent Apployee (employee platform), so that the development points for each driver are accurately visualised. Using gamification, drivers are encouraged to optimise their performance via a Driver app.
The program now offers our drivers the opportunity to develop further. The driver app gives them insight into their real-time performance and tips to improve driving behaviour. But behavioural change requires more than showing data. The strength of the program mainly lies in the fact that our company is supported in taking driver development itself to a higher level.
In a kick-off with the driver, we look together at how we can develop even further. Just like Ways Europe, we look forward to the reactions and results achieved by our drivers.
Zero measurement exceptionally high scores
“It’s wonderful to see that the baseline measurement already shows exceptionally high scores for the driving behaviour of the drivers. This shows that they are already actively improving their skills!” said John Kramer of Ways Europe.
