Action Tracker
Good intentions or not, human behaviors can negatively impact the bottom line of your business. Most employees likely have your company’s best interests at heart and want to provide good service for customers. However, there are certain driving habits that can drastically increase expenses, as well as contribute to excessive wear and tear, and compromise safety.
On the other hand, some employees will test the limits to see what they can get away with for their own benefit. This may involve taking unauthorized or extended breaks, or using company time to take care of personal tasks.
