Whether your business is just starting to manage Driving for Work or you've been proactively doing so for years, we can always learn from others. While every work environment is different, there are common best-practices across all sectors.

Here's our view on "what good looks like".

These 16 "Hallmarks" are based on what we've seen working in 14 years while helping more than 100 businesses create "an environment that allows and expects safe driving".

COMMITMENT

  • Leadership buy-in & direction-setting is a must

  • Leverage the “observer effect” to get extra results

  • Environment must support & expect good driving

COMPREHENSIVE

  • Assess Driver, Vehicle & Journey factors

  • Combine Instruction, Information, Training & Supervision elements

  • Think 100 small changes

COMMUNICATION

  • Objective is to raise awareness & “nudge”

  • Use statistics, evidence & story-telling

  • Seek & share feedback & lessons learned

  • Don’t expect universal “common-sense”

CONTINUITY

  • Phase activities over three years

  • Use “drip-drip-drip” approach

  • Have more than one champion

CHECKED
