Attracting and retaining delivery drivers can be a very difficult task – especially in the current climate.
With the cost-of-living crisis still a burden for many, it’s no surprise that many drivers work for different companies with more attractive packages than what they’re currently being offered.
Sometimes a simple solution of increasing pay isn’t possible for every courier business. Plus, higher pay isn’t all that drivers value. There are several other avenues that you can explore to retain your workforce without increasing their pay.
