Fleet News Webinar: Stakeholder management: how to get the best out of your key partners, in partnership with Athlon

About

In an increasingly complex fleet operation and a role with mounting cross-function responsibilities, this webinar will reveal how fleet professionals can secure engagement and buy-in from all stakeholders, from the board to drivers, and department heads to suppliers.

A panel of experts will discuss different communication tactics as well as considering the growing demands on fleet leaders to be energy authorities, mental health supporters, finance and procurement experts, and data analysts.

If you can’t attend live, register now, and we’ll send you the on-demand recording later.
