Of 48 trucking fleets that received recognition from the publication’s 2017 Top Fleet Employers program, 18 were small operators, writes Angela Splinter, head of Trucking HR Canada, a group focused on HR in the trucking and logistics industry. And half of those 18 trucking businesses have a designated HR leader on their staff.
"The HR role has evolved beyond payroll and other administrative tasks and today should be part of your strategic management team, giving a competent manager or executive the insight necessary to link your business goals to recruitment, retention, compensation, and training," Splinter writes.
