Northern Powergrid – Telematics
In January 2023 the organisation implemented a telematics score dashboard. Dashboard data provided to the management team of every fleet driver on a weekly basis. The company has a dedicated Driver Safety and Performance Manager who holds a monthly meeting with the second line manager of all fleet drivers to discuss driver scores, trends and areas for improvement and development. Every fleet driver receives a text message on a Monday morning advising them of their driver score and how this compares with their previous four-week score. In January 2023 the average driver score was 94.30, and over the next 12 months rose by 1.53 to 95.83. In particular, the company reduced harsh braking events, which increased overall efficiency and contributed to a 6.4% reduction on tCO2 emissions. The top line telematics data is shared with the CEO, ensuring that driver safety and performance is a conversation relevant to the highest levels in the company. Northern Powergrid holds an annual Teams Safety Champions Award. A significant part of this award relates to driver and road safety. The winners and runner up of this award nominate a charity to which the business donates money.
