The Best Practices: How To Have Your Employees Embrace GPS Tracking

Let’s jump right in...

GPSTrackIt has worked with thousands of companies that have installed a GPS Fleet

Management solution and are now reaping the rewards. Our GPS Fleet Management

solution manages your drivers, vehicles, equipment and assets so you have more time to

grow your business. GPSTrackIt’s GPS system will give you improved customer service, your

driver’s routes will be optimized to save gas and also save precious time. All the while

reducing your bottom line costs and putting more money in your pocket.

We have created the following Best Practices to assist you in introducing GPS tracking to

your employees.

The key to having a successful GPS tracking deployment with your employees is “upfront

and clear communication.”

When you have upfront and clear communication you will successfully relieve most

concerns and apprehensiveness about deploying your GPS tracking solution with your

employees. You will share and explain to them your reasons for bringing in GPS tracking.

Hence, giving them the opportunity to understand and appreciate the benefits the

employees will receive as well as the savings to your business.


Here are 10 “Best Practice” tips on how to introduce GPS tracking to your team:

1. Highlight Staff Benefits:

Less paperwork. Proof of work performed. No more manual log book entries. A GPSTrackIt

client had a driver cleared of speeding by showing authorities the GPS tracking report. Less

time in traffic.

2. Give Incentives:

Explore ways to share your company’s GPS tracking savings. When employees understand

that they can benefit “in their pocket” by being conscious of costs and driving habits they

are much more likely to embrace GPS tracking.

3. Be Upfront, Honest and Transparent:

Share with your team early in the process about your plans to implement a system. This

will give the employees a chance to ask questions and share their concerns. Listen to their

concerns, share your thoughts and you will put them at ease.

4. Be Specific and Don’t Hide How The System Works and It’s Overall Benefits To The

Company:

Better customer service and retention with route optimization and real-time vehicle

location. Gas savings. Vehicle maintenance savings. Equipment loss prevention. Being able

to prove to customers length of visit, arrival times and departure times history.


5. Establish That It’s Not Personal:

Put your Team at ease by explaining that the purpose of GPS tracking to optimize and

manage the entire fleet, not individual drivers. Explain that you are looking to more evenly

distribute the workload.

6. Accentuate Driver and Fleet Safety:

Employees will appreciate and understand that a lot of GPS tracking is focused on driver

and fleet safety. GPS tracking has been proven to reduce accidents, tickets and in many

cases reduce insurance premiums. As well as maintaining DOT compliance.

7. Listen To and Be Open To Employee Feedback and Ideas:

When you’re a good listener and take into consideration your employee thoughts and

feedback, that will go a long way in having your Team accept your GPS solution.

8. Maintain a Positive Attitude:

As you may sense and have some resistance, it’s important to stay positive and underscore

the overall savings and safety benefits to the employees and company.

9. Write a Policy for GPS Usage and Expectations:

Put company expectations and employee rewards in writing. Once Team members see

what possible rewards they can receive it will make implementation go that much

smoother and faster.


10. Continually Recognize and Share Positive Benchmarks and Driver

Accomplishments:

By doing this on a regular basis, your Team will recognize that this Fleet Management

System is an important and integral part of your company’s daily operating procedures and

is here to stay.

With your newly implemented GPS tracking system everyone in your organization will be

more efficient and effective in their positions. With that it is possible for you to start saving

a significant amount of expenses and costs in a relatively short period of time and for the

long term with GPS fleet management.
