Topics to Discuss:
Distracted driving and businesses. Most of the discussion since the new law was passed has centered around what individual drivers can and cannot do with their phone while driving. But it’s vital for businesses to have a strong plan for their employees.

In our 24-hour workplace, with employees always potentially just a call or text away, every company should have policies in place to make sure their employees are abiding by the law and are safe.

Leaders must set the tone for safe driving at their companies. It’s not just one tactic. This should be a multi-pronged approach that ingrains safety into your company culture.
1.Talk About It - Make conversations about safe driving a regular part of new employee orientations, quarterly company meetings, more.
2.Training - Safe driving should be a part of the “new employee” training, and should be incorporated into larger training sessions.
3.Enforcement - The culture must be clear about enforcement. Employees must understand that the policy is real or it’ll have no value.
4.Walk the Talk - It is important that the company actually live its plan.
