Azuga® Announces its Q2 Safe Driving Awards Program’s Driver and Fleet Manager Recipients
San Jose, Ca. (PRWEB) September 14, 2016 -- Azuga, a leading provider of connected vehicle technology, announced its top 10 safest drivers and fleet managers of Q2 2016 today. These quarterly awards are part of the Azuga Fleet Safe Driving Awards program, designed to motivate and incentivize both fleet managers and workers who make safe driving a key part of their operation and culture. Winners of the prestigious award receive cash rewards, certificates and social media recognition for being top performers amongst a pool of more than 50,000 drivers and 5,000 fleet managers across the globe.
“This program’s mission is to not only make drivers adopt safer driving habits, but to combat the very high employee turnover that the industry faces,” said Tom Erdman, president of Azuga Fleet. “We want to empower workers by giving them real-time driving data so that they can self-coach into exceptional employees. Companies participating in the awards program report significant improvements to company morale and increases in overall ROI, and ultimately, the results help assist the companies become leaders of safety in their industries and communities.”
Azuga awards the top 10 safest drivers and fleets each quarter. The rankings are calculated using the driver scoring and rewards program built into Azuga Fleet. Scoring is derived using a weighted average of several components, including speeding, hard braking, harsh acceleration and idling events, each of which consider the magnitude, duration and frequency along with a spatio-temporal index that factors in the conditions under which these events occurred. Driver scores are visible to fleet managers and workers alike, and are an important tool for recognizing good driving behaviors and identifying areas where coaching is needed.
