After being engulfed in a year-long pandemic – precious lives lost and every one of us affected to an extent we could not have imagined at its outset, we see a ray of hope. Vaccines are finally making their way into arms, and it feels a lot like we can look ahead a bit less tentatively.
Where do we go from here? When we asked that question of fleet expert Steve Saltzgiver, he gave us a brilliant and thorough treatise on the steps organizations can take to optimize their fleet operations. We like this: “A wise manager understands that their most important resource is the people that perform the work.”
Now, what about the people who have been displaced? Fleet veterans who have chosen to retire or who have been sidelined involuntarily because of the virus? How do we recover? Look for some answers in Donald Dunphy’s Tackling Brain Drain: Tips from a Recent Fleet Retiree.
Mike Sheldrick and I spent some delightful weeks in Norway in 2017 and marveled at the abundance of EV charging stations. He was highly amused by GM’s cute Super Bowl ad.
Stay Safe Everyone!
