How to Motivate Your Employees to Drive Safely

delivery truckSafety is everyone’s responsibility at work. An accident at work doesn’t simply affect the victim, but the entire team. Beyond driving the cost of your business insurance up, serious accidents can bring down morale.

As a business owner, you’re not powerless when it comes to improving employee drivers’ safety. There are many ways you can motivate them to remain accident-free.

Give Your Drivers What They Want

Over the years, researchers have proven that career opportunities and recognition motivate employees. Employees like the idea that hard work helps them meet their career goals.

The same premise holds true when it comes to your employee drivers. When you give them the opportunity to advance, they will work hard to meet strategic objectives, including driving safer.

Reward Safe Drivers

Money is a common incentive many businesses use to motivate their employees. From annual bonuses to monthly rewards, you can save a lot of money on your commercial auto insurance by incentivizing safe driving.

With more drivers working towards meeting your safe driving goals to qualify for the bonus, you might avoid costly lawsuits that place your business in jeopardy.

Develop a Recognition Program

Another important factor that will help you motivate your employees to drive safely is recognition. Don’t you enjoy when someone recognizes you for something great? Well, you and your employee drivers are in the same boat. Most people place value on recognition by their boss.

You don’t have to devise a complex recognition program. INC. states that a handwritten letter can go a long way in showing your employees you appreciate their hard work.

Monitor Your Drivers to Reinforce Acceptable Behaviors

After selecting a way to motivate your employees, you must monitor their progress. You can start by assessing where you are now and compare it to where you want to be later in the year with your safety program.

Once you have an estimate of the gap, then you can establish monthly goals that will help keep your employee drivers inspired all year long.

If the cost of your business insurance worries you, then you should take steps to improve how safe your drivers are behind the wheel.

However, you can’t simply wish for change. You must act. If you want to learn more about how you can reduce the cost of your commercial auto insurance, give us a call today so that we can review your current policy.
