Fleet Logistics Launches MobilityBUDGET
New mobility solution for a changing corporate market
Fleet Logistics has launched its first mobility solution, MobilityBUDGET, as it begins the transition from pure fleet management provider to offering new Managed Mobility Solutions to its clients and prospects.
MobilityBUDGET provides employees with a tax optimized cash amount which can be used to cover personal multi-modal mobility needs, ranging from personal lease, through shared mobility including rental cars to public transport.
CEO Steffen Schick explained the thinking behind the new solution. “The company car is no longer the most attractive option for every single user group, neither as source of mobility nor as benefit."
Addressing Privacy Concerns in Driver Risk Management
By Ed Dubens, CEO/Founder of eDriving
Today, data security and privacy compliance are among the most important considerations for practically every business.
For that reason, when reviewing Digital Driver Risk Management solutions, data security and privacy compliance are critical components of the assessment and planning phase, and can even be the deciding factor in whether a program is adopted or not.
How does this affect organizations looking to protect the safety of those driving for work purposes? It means that any company obliged to seek such approval for a new driver safety program, will need to justify the implementation of the program, and prove it complies with relevant data protection and privacy laws.
Giving Back and Getting Smart
We applaud John Round’s solution to confronting shorter winter days, colder weather, and fewer hours outside. Not one to sit around moping over winter dread, John, AVP of sales at Wheels, Inc., got busy with some self-improvement projects. And then he received an email from his alma mater asking him to join their mentor program to help kids navigate the corporate world.
But who has time for that? Well, John was intrigued. “So far, the experience has been far more exciting than researching my other self-improvement projects. I realize the excitement is about potentially helping someone else and getting out of my bubble by trying something new.”
Holly Hill, director of sales at FLD Remarketing and a 26-plus year veteran of the fleet industry, writes an introspective article about why she chose this time in her career to pursue CAFM accreditation.
Holly reports, “My newfound skills are driving me to be a better fleet professional. I’m more engaged in relevant industry topics, and while my fellow fleet professionals and I have been kept apart because of the pandemic, I know there will be a time when we can all come together and share our knowledge, refine best practices, and work to be the best we can.”
Please stay safe!
