Helping Employers Up Their Game

Steering Change

In this episode, hosts Robyn Betts and Michelle Spacil chat with Craig Faucette, Chief Program Officer at Trucking HR Canada (THRC).

AMTA has long worked closely with Craig and the THRC team, and in this conversation, we discuss our combined efforts to address the driver shortage, our collaboration on Western Women with Drive, and more.

THRC’s research in industry around human resources (HR) issues, the resources developed and available for employers to strengthen and diversify their workforces, and the programs and projects at THRC focused on aiding employers with their best HR practices are all covered.
