A comprehensive fleet policy is essential to help safeguard your organisation, employees and the wider community. But in a time when customer expectations are regularly changing, even the strongest fleet policy can quickly become outdated.
While every organisation is different, your fleet policy may be affected by:
- Changes to the way we work, the pandemic resulted in an increase in ‘grey fleet’ (employee-owned vehicles used for work purposes)
- More environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability objectives creating the expectation for businesses to take proactive steps to monitor and reduce emissions
- Advances in technology that allow for more sophisticated monitoring and provide risk reducing data
- The introduction of new vehicle types including electric and hybrid vehicles
If it’s been a while since you’ve reviewed or updated your fleet policy, you may want to consider making some changes, especially in the areas of reputational and HR risks. By focusing on these areas, you can help keep everyone safer – and maintain your organisation’s public image.
