As large enterprises grow their sales and support teams, safeguarding field-force employees on the road is often overlooked. In developing countries like India, unsafe roads and habits such as overspeeding and harsh acceleration make accidents more likely.
Training
Continuous training can improve field-force safety and bring down road-safety incidents by up to 70%.
Use of Technology
Classroom training alone makes it difficult to track the impact of counselling. IoT devices in vehicles can build a risk profile for every employee by monitoring harsh acceleration, overspeeding, harsh cornering, and other behaviours. This data helps safety leaders and employees understand driving habits.
Use a Gamified Application
A gamified mobile application makes employees part of the organization’s safety transformation. Features such as leaderboards and badges can support reward and recognition programmes and encourage compliance.
Vehicle Management Centre
A Vehicle Management Centre provides a bird’s-eye view of safety statistics. Administrators can identify anomalies, counsel employees, and help bring about behavioural change.
Every organization with a large field force should consider these steps to move closer to zero harm and establish a strong safety culture.
