The e-book explains how sharing your plans with employees can be key to successfully implementing a new system. Initial resistance by the workforce towards a new system can be driven by misconceptions as some employees can be unfamiliar with the technology and its purpose. Once staff understands how the implemented change can help support a successful and sustainable future for the company and for them, they can be more likely to support it, according to ACAS.

Data from Fleetmatics' GPS tracking system can be used to improve workforce management, gain greater efficiency, reduce environmental impact, increase productivity and use resources more effectively. Some of these benefits are directly transferable to staff. For example, after the installation of the monitoring system, many Fleetmatics customers have reported that their employees benefit from a reduced amount of paperwork, more evenly shared workload and fewer delays with less unwanted overtime.

“Openness and honesty can help cement the mutual understanding required to reap the full benefits of the system,” explained Richard Brooks, Fleetmatics marketing director for Europe. “With the support of the guidelines provided in this e-book, managers can help employees understand the benefits of the new system and encourage them to see the installation as an improvement, not an obstacle.”
