Sometimes people consider monitoring staff via vehicle tracking as a negative thing. They see it as an invasion of privacy and a lack of faith and trust in their staff. Some companies are hesitant to install vehicle tracking as they think that their staff will not welcome it.
The fact is that most of the time most staff do not have a problem with tracking being installed in their vehicles. If staff do their job properly then they have nothing to fear and will not be concerned about it.
There are things you can do make certain this does not become a problem and that is to educate your staff about the improvements is can make in the day to day running of the business and the money saving benefits such as lower insurance premiums.
Also tracking can be used to point out not only negative employee work habits but also positive ones as well. You can run competitions to see who can get their deliveries done the fastest or who can use the least amount of fuel per mile. By running tables on performance it will motivate staff to work harder so that they can win.
