Applications Open for Second Annual Top Fleet Employers Program

Top Fleet Employers Canada is a distinctly Canadian Program, publicly recognizing Canadian fleets which take extra steps to support employees and operators. Applications are now being accepted for Trucking HR Canada’s second annual Top Fleet Employers program.

“Top Fleet Employers recognizes fleets that are committed to, and demonstrate, best practices in human resources,” said Angela Splinter, CEO of Trucking HR Canada. “They are workplaces which lead by example, and play a key role in helping the trucking industry recruit and retain the employees it needs to ensure a successful future.”

The program rates fleets on areas like: compensation, lifestyle, employee engagement, recruitment and retention. The program’s criteria has been validated by a panel of trucking industry experts and a certified human resource professional. In addition, the program recognizes and considers every fleet occupation.

Online submissions are due by February 27, 2015 (you can apply online by clicking here) and hard copy submissions are due March 27, 2015. Trucking HR Canada stresses that this is not a competition. There is no limit to the number or size of fleets that can be honoured.

Trucking HR Canada has published a report highlighting driver-focused initiatives from the last year’s Top Fleet Employers winners. The report, titled The Drive to Excellence: Best Practices in HR by Canada’s Top Fleet Employers Program, profiles the fleets and gives an overview of their HR operations. It also includes a summary of emerging HR trends in the trucking industry as well as resources on how fleets – regardless of size – can strengthen their human resource programs.
