New Stay Metrics Research Finds Top 5 Reasons Drivers Make Referrals


News Image

The results of our latest research project highlight the aspects of work that most influence a driver’s decision to refer their carrier to another driver.

Stay Metrics, the leading provider of driver retention tools for motor carriers, announces new research identifying the top 5 reasons why drivers will make referrals within the first 90 days on the job.

“Attracting new drivers is difficult across the trucking industry, making referrals from current drivers more important than ever,” said Allyson Smith, a Stay Metrics data analyst who compiled the list. “The results of our latest research project highlight the aspects of work that most influence a driver’s decision to refer their carrier to another driver.”

To create the report, Stay Metrics analyzed responses from all questions in the Early Experiences Survey, one of several driver lifecycle survey products the company administers for trucking clients using its Stay Ahead™ platform.

Driver responses to the survey questions were compared to their Net Promoter Score (NPS)®, a measurement of company loyalty that directly asks how likely they are to recommend their carrier.

The top 5 questions identified as having the most influence on drivers’ willingness to recommend their carrier (or not) came from responses to “How satisfied are you with…”:

1. The compensation you receive from your carrier?

2. Your carrier’s wait time/detention pay?

3. The number of miles you typically drive in a week?

4. Your communication with your carrier?

5. Your level of work-related stress?

The first three questions relate to pay issues. The fourth and fifth relate to the impact of communication on a driver’s work experience, explained Tim Hindes, Co-Founder and CEO of Stay Metrics.

“The way these three issues relate to one another suggests that the overall system of work and the communication that surrounds it are the main catalysts for drivers’ willingness to recommend their carriers,” he said. “Accurate communication by carriers, especially about pay, is essential to positively impact driver opinions.”

As part of the report, Stay Metrics also performed a word cloud analysis that identifies how often drivers mentioned specific words in their survey comments. The results further validate communication as a key factor in reducing the number of detractors (drivers who are not willing to recommend their carrier).

Anyone can review the full, free report on the Stay Metrics website, which reveals the top 5 reasons drivers recommend their carriers after 90 days, along with the best recommendations by Stay Metrics analysts for how to maximize results.

Motor carriers also can supplement driver recruiting and retention efforts with the recent Stay Metrics report, “The Top 5 Areas to Watch with New-to-You Drivers,” showing why drivers leave their carriers within the first 90 days.

Visionary Chris Olver Named Executive Director of Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation


Chris Olver, Executive Director, Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation

Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Chris Olver as its new Executive Director. Chris is a nonprofit leader with proven fundraising and storytelling track records with mission-driven organizations on three continents.

“Chris brings a special medley of skills, longtime nonprofit experience, and passion that will serve us well as we continue to build CPARF into a global research leader in the cerebral palsy (CP) space, changing the lives of people with CP and the lives of those who care for and about them,” said CPARF’s Chairman, Jean-Louis Lelogeais, on behalf of the Board of Directors. “We are thrilled to have Chris join us.”

As a former filmmaker, development director, and executive leader, Chris is uniquely equipped to steer CPARF’s growth and narrative into the next exciting phase. He has spent the last five years serving as the Associate Executive Director of Ramapo for Children, a national education reform organization based in New York City.

Chris feels a deeply personal pull toward CPARF’s mission to advance cutting-edge research that will change the lives of 18 million people of all ages with CP. As the father to two young children who were born prematurely — one at 28 weeks and one at 29 weeks — Chris shared that he and his family, “have directly benefited from research into CP prevention and detection, including specific research-driven practices funded by CPARF.”

He is energized by this opportunity and says, “It’s incredibly humbling and inspiring to have the chance to use my professional experience and skills to continue to expand that research and our impact on people with CP.”

CP is the most common childhood-onset physical disability in the world, but it’s one of the most underfunded. CPARF aims to change that by carving a prominent place for CP in the national consciousness, and by funding and harnessing the forward momentum of CP research in several promising areas, including chronic pain treatment alternatives, thought-to-speech communication, and regenerative medicine.

CPARF’S MISSION

Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation won’t stop until people with CP can live pain-free, until they can live the lives they envision for themselves, and until they can express what’s on their mind and be understood even when they can’t communicate verbally. We won’t stop until we can prevent CP in the first place. We won’t stop until we find a cure.

We work with the best US-based scientists and foster nationwide and global collaboration between the brightest researchers. We ensure they can share their breakthroughs and advances with each other. As the only organization in the world solely focused on CP research, CPARF is poised to reshape the disability landscape. We’re poised to make breakthroughs. We are poised to change lives.

LIVFRESH Earns Coveted Spot as Best Toothpaste in GQs Magazine’s 2019 Grooming Awards – November Issue


LIVFRESH Wintergreen Dental Gel

“We are thrilled to have LIVFRESH included as a 2019 GQ Grooming Awards’ winner in this magazine that is highly recognized as the leader in men’s grooming and fashion,” said Livionex CEO Amit Goswamy.

Today, Livionex announces its newly launched LIVFRESH dental gel line has earned a spot as one of the ‘41 Best Grooming Products for Men in 2019’ in GQ Magazine’s November Grooming Awards issue.

LIVFRESH was referred to as “The only useful thing to come out of Silicon Valley: a lightweight, investor-backed, science-y gel that makes teeth feel squeaky clean,” according the GQ Magazine article.

“We are thrilled to have LIVFRESH included as a 2019 GQ Grooming Awards’ winner in this magazine that is highly recognized as the leader in men’s grooming and fashion,” said Livionex CEO Amit Goswamy.

“Research has shown that men have a higher incidence of periodontal disease than women. We couldn’t be happier that GQ recognizes just how critical it is that their readers implement a preventative dental care routine. Our LIVFRESH line is dentist-recommended as well as clinically proven, in published studies, to clean teeth and remove plaque (the root cause of periodontal disease), 250% better than the leading brands,” added Goswamy.

The LIVFRESH line includes LIVFRESH Peppermint, LIVFRESH Wintergreen and LIVFRESH Mild Peppermint. All three gels use 100% edible ingredients to eliminate bad breath, prevent tartar formation, and re-mineralize enamel.

What’s different about LIVFRESH, than other toothpastes, is that it uses activated edathamil in a new technology that removes plaque from the teeth at the molecular level. Additionally, LIVFRESH doesn’t use abrasives, antimicrobials, and parabens found in major toothpaste brands; as a result, it is safe for all ages including young children and pregnant women. The products are cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

The plaque-disrupting technology underlying LIVFRESH has been validated by numerous sources, including dental professionals, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health .

Stigma-Free Talk about Skin STDs


Dr. Sonoa Au

Most STIs are treatable and catching an infection early can prevent more serious complications. The dermatologist’s office is a valuable resource, as many STIs have skin symptoms.

“One aspect of the challenge of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is the stigma,” notes Dr. Sonoa Au, a dermatologist with Advanced Dermatology PC. “But consensual sexual activity, which is a natural part of adult life, involves intimate contact that can spread infection. And millions of people get STIs every year.”

Make that about 20 million new cases a year, according to the CDC, including infections such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia — and genital herpes.

In terms of genital herpes, the American Sexual Health Association states that as many as one out of five people is infected, usually with the “simplex two” form of the virus (HSV-2).

Genital herpes, as well as other STIs such as syphilis and HPV (the human papillomavirus), can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact.

“Condoms are effective at blocking transmission of fluid-borne STIs, like chlamydia, HIV, and gonorrhea,” explains Dr. Au. “But with infections that are transmitted via the skin, while condoms can help, they won’t block infection from an uncovered area.”

“Increasing openness and awareness is crucial,” continues Dr. Au. “Most STIs are treatable and catching an infection early can prevent more serious complications. The dermatologist’s office is a valuable resource, as many STIs have skin symptoms.”

Organizations such as the American Sexual Health Association and The STI Project (also founded by the Herpes Activist Network’s Pierce) are making important inroads in providing resources and support.

“In terms of stigma,” observes Dr. Au, “genital herpes, in particular, triggers anxiety because it is what we call a ‘recurrent’ infection: once a person has it, they have it for life.”

In this regard, HSV-2 is similar to its oral relative, the “simplex one” form of the virus (HSV-1), which can cause cold sores and fever blisters. About half of adults have HSV-1, typically the result of non-sexual childhood exposure, for example from a relative’s kiss. “Like HSV-1, genital herpes is also usually mild and manageable,” says Dr. Au. “So much so that a person may not even know they have it. Some are not symptomatic. And mild outbreaks can easily be attributed to other causes, like an insect bite.”

To increase awareness and reduce stigma regarding genital herpes, Dr. Au offers the following advice:

5 Tips for Understanding Genital Herpes:

1. See your doctor if you’re worried: “Different tests have distinct parameters,” explains Dr. Au. “If you notice a skin abnormality – a sore, a blister or a pimple – this can be swabbed and checked. DNA testing of the swabbed sample is the most accurate choice. In the absence of symptoms, a blood test for IgG antibodies can detect long-term infections.”

2. Positive results? There are management options: “For patients with regular outbreaks, there are effective means of limiting frequency,” says Dr. Au. “For example, daily anti-viral medications such as valacyclovir pills can reduce outbreaks by at least 75 percent.”

3. Be aware of symptomless transmission: “One challenge with HSV-2 is that at certain times the virus is present on the skin even though there is no visible outbreak,” states Dr. Au. “Skin-to-skin contact at such times can transmit the infection. Condoms can limit the extent of skin exposure. And daily anti-viral medications seem to decrease risk.”

4. Pregnant? Ensure a safe delivery: “Pregnant women can be tested for genital herpes because an outbreak is a health risk during delivery,” notes Dr. Au. “Those who know they have the virus should inform their doctor. In most cases, there is no impact on the delivery, but if there is an outbreak at that time, many doctors will advise for a C-section to protect the baby from serious health problems.”

5. Oral sex can cause genital infections: “With genital herpes, we usually think HSV-2,” observes Dr. Au. “But oral sex can transmit HSV-1 to the genitals. Awareness can guide people’s choices.”    

“Genital herpes may not have a celebrity spokesperson,” concludes Dr. Au. “But a lot of regular people have it, and they’re leading full and happy lives.”

Sonoa Au, MD, is a board-certified physician and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology

Advanced Dermatology P.C. and the Center for Laser and Cosmetic Surgery (New York & New Jersey) is one of the leading dermatology centers in the nation, offering highly experienced physicians in the fields of cosmetic and laser dermatology as well as plastic surgery and state-of-the-art medical technologies. http://www.advanceddermatologypc.com.
