- Have you ever heard of the Hawthorne Effect? It states that when people have a certain aspect of their behavior being monitored, they tend to perform or act better.
- This falls in line for what our customers tell us at SambaSafety, that because there is a safety policy put in place and someone gets alerts every time a negative violation occurs on driving records, behavior tends to improve positively.
- Failure to adopt a safety policy can complicate things.
- If not adopting a comprehensive safety policy, you open yourself up exponentially more to immense safety and risk factors you could be controlling.
- It’s not enough to just have a written policy – being able to enforce it is equally important.
- Companies have to ensure that they follow their own policy and are compliant with it.
- When you’re adopting a policy, it’s really crucial to adopt a policy that is active at all times.
- Any policy that is too harsh, strict or truly too complicated means it most likely won’t be followed to the fullest extent.
- Be realistic in what you can really actually address.
- When thinking of considering a driver policy on the front end, it allows you to take the most appropriate actions as opposed to being really reactive with the actions that occur
