The Driver as a Professional Partner (Room 200)

27 Feb 19
1:45 PM - 2:30 PM

Tracks: Collection & Transfer, Planning & Management, Road to Zero Waste

The presentation will focus on the organizational change required in the hiring and training process for the transition from the traditional job as a driver to a professional partner. This transition will allow for the recruitment and hiring of better qualified candidates, building the workforce through the establishment of a sufficient pool of experienced drivers, and promoting employee engagement within the organization.

The driver as a professional partner will actively participate in the development and implementation of policies/procedures; participate in business processes and decisions; engage in continual learning; interact with management; and share achievements and challenges with their peers.
