Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

Driving Force: Tips on How to Keep Drivers during the Slow Winter Months

Winter is fast approaching. For many companies, this means drivers see a reduction in hours as the season changes. The Driving Force put together some tips on how to retain drivers during this slower period and stay prepared for the spring.

 

• Offer stay bonuses.

• Assign work rather than bid on seniority. Rotate jobs around all of your drivers to keep them active and engaged.

• Allow for employees to claim benefits for reduced hours when necessary.

• Utilize drivers for company projects when possible.

• Communicate with your employees and exemplify your company culture.

• Showcase your employees. Make them feel valuable. Post their photos and testimonials.

• Acknowledge milestones.

• Have your drivers take professional development courses. Manufacturers offer free courses to sharpen skills. Offer a small incentive for courses completed.

 

For more information, visit the Driving Force page on buses.org and be sure to check out the toolkit for recruitment & retention.
