How vehicle tracking helps Human Resources

Providing valuable information to ensure you and your drivers comply with the latest legislation

For your HR team, vehicle tracking provides valuable information to ensure you and your drivers comply with the latest legislation and gives you the tools to monitor employee performance.

• In-depth reporting allows you to monitor how effectively your drivers are performing and how productive they are to support appraisals
• Our Duty of Care module puts the onus on your drivers to complete an initial vehicle safety check every day, safeguarding your drivers from vehicle risks such as bald tyres, low air pressure or faulty lights
• A vehicle tracking system can provide invaluable evidence in the case of legal disputes (for example, if one of your drivers is accused of being involved in an incident you can prove the vehicle was not in the vicinity at the time)
• Speed reports identify high risk drivers who speed regularly, allowing you to address such problems - ultimately stopping accidents - through driver training
• Working Time Directive reports help you to schedule your mobile workforce to ensure that they don't break drive time limits specified by the legislation. You can also set up alerts to tell drivers when they haven't taken enough rest breaks stopping them from working too many hours and potentially driving dangerously
• Corporate Manslaughter legislation requires that any relevant information to prove compliance is kept on file for at least two years. Unlike many competitors, Navman Wireless customers get free access to all historical data
• Panic buttons triggering an automatic email or text message are particularly valuable for lone workers in remote areas or drivers delivering high value goods. They also show that you are proactively looking after your staff’s safety and welfare
• Stationary vehicle alerts bring managers' attention to potential driver safety issues when a vehicle has been at a standstill during a working day for more than one hour, for example
• Driver ID technology allows businesses to meet additional legal responsibilities by identifying exactly who is driving a vehicle, where and at what time
• Vehicle telematics lets you cast the recruitment net wider, as you no longer have to exclude potential employees who live too far from the office (as you can let drivers take their vehicles home with them, safe in the knowledge that they won’t use them for personal usage)
