The key to a successful telematics program is to do something with what you capture and discover. Simply put, videos must be viewed and plans in place to progressively coach and address infractions. Key considerations:

  • Viewing videos: When, how often, and who will be reviewing videos?
  • Training: How will your company positively address events in the video and coach the desired behaviors?
  • Enforcement: How will your company address progressive coaching or disciplinary actions?
