Business Drivers

The programme was set up to help overcome the challenges posed by a shortage of drivers in the industry.

Implementation

As part of a broader programme to tackle a growing shortage of drivers, FWC introduced a programme of job-related English Language training delivered onsite in partnership with the University of Lincoln. The programme, which provides 36 hours of tuition, has delivered substantial business benefits, including an annual saving on interpreters.

Impact

All of the drivers who have received language training have remained with FWC – dramatically reducing recruitment and induction costs. Lower staff turnover has meant that FWC has saved each year because the firm no longer uses expensive, overseas recruitment. It has also changed the perceptions of foreign drivers in the workplace and enhanced workforce integration. Fowler Welch has helped in solving driver shortages, reduced recruitment costs and created an inclusive working environment.
