Making vehicle and road safety a central focus of fleet management has delivered major bottom line savings, particularly in insurance costs, and significant crash reductions for not-for-profit UnitingCare.
Driven by an inspired funding model that guaranteed management support and sustained improvement, impressive results have driven a strong, self-perpetuating safety culture. UnitingCare has developed and embraced new ways of promoting road safety that includes development of unique video resources and the utilisation of social media platforms, eLearning and eMeeting’s to deliver this training and messages.
All of this achieved through collaboration with external institutions, companies and individuals.
