Registration has opened for the Volvo International Service Training Awards (VISTA) service market competition. This year up to 20,000 technicians from Volvo Trucks and Volvo Buses global dealer network are expected to participate. Through teamwork and competence development VISTA aims to attract and maintain skilled technicians, Volvo says.
Even though VISTA is a competition, Volvo says the main objectives are to encourage teamwork to build team spirit and pride, while also inspiring self-improvement and competence development. It’s a way for service market personnel to increase both their knowledge and the quality of their work which, in the end, leads to improved customer service and greater customer satisfaction.
“A top-of-the-line service network is crucial for our customers’ truck business,” says Roger Alm, Volvo Trucks president. “VISTA shows how important our mechanics are and, at the same time, the competition improves our skills so we can deliver outstanding service provided by the best service crews in the world.”
VISTA is growing from year to year and the expected 20,000 attendees from the global Volvo dealer network will work together in around 5,000 teams. The competition is a way for Volvo Trucks to address the worldwide challenge of both recruiting and retaining competent workshop technicians.
“The VISTA World Championships give the teams an opportunity to show the world what they are capable of and compete against the very best in front of an audience of tens of thousands. VISTA is more than a competition, it is a celebration of teamwork, diversity and talent, and this is what makes VISTA unique,” says Anna Rogbrant, VISTA project manager.
