Nussbaum Transportation Impressive 3-Year Engagement Trend

Nussbaum Transportation is one of the leading truckload carriers in the U.S. For over eight years, they have consistently focused on giving their workforce a voice by gathering feedback through Engagement Surveys using the People Element platform.

Challenge:

Though Nussbaum’s scores consistently exceed global benchmarks, the company is still focused on finding ways to continuously improve favorability and engagement within their driver and non-driver populations.

Solution: Annual Engagement Surveys

EMPLOYEE LISTENING

Nussbaum’s annual engagement survey allows them to collect employee feedback and measure favorability across multiple categories including Job Satisfaction, Safety, Operations & Communication.  Furthermore, the survey provides them with a consistent measurement of engagement.

TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION

Each year People Element makes an on-site visit to Nussbaum to present the annual engagement survey results to the Executive Team. However, Nussbaum takes this a step further by having People Element present the results to all levels of the company (Office Staff, Shop, Drivers, Driver Managers, etc.) over a 2-day period.  The company has found that this level of transparency helps keep their employees informed, adds an additional layer of accountability, and plays a significant role in maintaining their stellar favorability and engagement levels.

TAKING ACTION

Nussbaum’s efforts do not end with collecting feedback and sharing the results with their employees. Leveraging best practices collected over the many years of conducting the survey, they take the insights derived from the data and put together a multi-faceted plan to act on their employee feedback.

Result: 3 Year Trend in Engagement Favorability

Nussbaum’s focus on employee listening, transparent communication and taking action on employee feedback has led the company to amazing results for both their driver and non-driver populations.

DRIVER RESULTS – 3 YEAR TREND

  • Engagement refers to the % of the population that is engaged based on People Element’s Engagement Index.
  • NOTE: Nussbaum’s 2022 Driver Engagement Level was 18% above People Element’s Global Engagement Benchmark at the time of the Survey.
