Employees Took Advantage Of This Employer. Here's How We Helped
You've heard the story before: an owner who lost their business because they were unsure how to fix, much less approach, the issue of bad employee behavior.
While it's sad, it's also preventable.
Poor driver habits, illegal activities, and unsafe driving practices are impossible to pinpoint or address without adequate systems in place.
Low driver accountability means that fleets are left exposed to higher levels of theft, low productivity, and unsafe driving habits. Without evidence, culpability can’t be proven with certainty and a fleet operator is left vulnerable to further damages.
In turn, these risky behaviors turn into liabilities that make operating expensive and eventually become detrimental to the bottom line of a business.
Condee Cooling & Electric
Such was the case with a client of ours, Condee Cooling & Electric.
This company experienced theft, a number of expensive insurance claims and repairs, risky driver behaviors on the road, and an overall lack of employee controls.
After the installation of two-way dash cams into fleet vehicles, driver performance and efficiency improved, safer driving habits increased, and the recorded footage was used to identify the thief and avert an otherwise lengthy and expensive investigation by the authorities.
Why A Dashcam Worked
The mere presence of a dashcam with the ability to record interiors and exteriors positively influences driver behavior. By creating awareness of supervision, the cameras increase driver productivity and safer driving practices.
A recording feature allows for the exposure and proof of suspicious activities (like theft), accountability when it comes to accidents, and better investigation of accidents.
Though there is always some pushback when it comes to monitoring of any kind, the long-term benefits definitely outweigh the negatives by a ton--to the point where it can even save a business from going under!
