It’s not the only way though is it?
Growing a strong co-operative culture, positive working environment. Empowering staff, making them feel valued. Favourable pay & terms.
Similar to what’s needed to to attract and retain new staff I suppose.
I think the reality is different - in any bus company.
I agree on those points being what’s needed to attract and retain staff, but generally speaking I’d say overtime is covered by the same pool of drivers who will always work overtime.
That pool has probably reduced in size significantly as it’s not as attractive coming into work to receive abuse, and because there has been an unlimited amount of overtime available for such a long period now that even drivers that like doing overtime are suffering overtime fatigue.
If overtime dried up, it’d become a lot more desirable again.
