Getting Your Drivers Involved
Even armed with the essential tools, no training program works without driver participation. Getting drivers involved with in-person training can be a challenge, especially when training sessions take place outside of regular work hours or involve drivers having to travel to a training facility outside their usual territory.
Fortunately, INFINIT-I’s learning management system allows companies to assign commercial driver safety training remotely. Training assignments go out to drivers anywhere they are in the country, and they can watch training videos on their schedule from any internet-capable device.
Studies A Brandon Hall Group study have shown that online training requires 40-60% less time and increases user retention by over 60%. Your employees will retain more and be better able to put their essential training into practice, saving your company costs on training and reducing your risk of nuclear verdicts during litigation.
Using online training systems to provide ongoing training can help your drivers reduce maintenance costs and improve fuel efficiency through better driver behaviors. Plus, a good training program will help you reduce CSA scores, and documented training will help improve insurance rates, mitigate loss, and attract better drivers.
