New Driving for Better Business web portal gives easier way to manage road risk

The Driving for Better Business campaign has launched a new website portal to help simplify and streamline road risk management for fleets.

The DfBB web portal has been built with the help of operators running some of Britain’s largest and best-known fleets

The site provides a wealth of resources, such as the ability to track progress through the free Driving for Better Business programme via a personalised dashboard and add in other stakeholders in the organisation to share the journey.

A benchmarking tool enables users to check how their company compares with others and with best practice, while the online Gap Analysis helps to identify any weak spots.

The site also includes a resource library that provides the tools to plug any gaps in compliance, via videos, information cards and PDFs. It’s also simple to check which drivers have opened or accessed the resources sent to them.

Straightforward guidance takes users through the ‘7 Steps to Better Driver Management’, helping companies make a leadership statement that demonstrates their commitment to reducing road risk.

The portal has been built with the help of operators running some of Britain’s largest and best-known fleets, and has already signed up around 200 organisations.

Campaign Manager Simon Turner said: “We’ve listened to our partners and made these changes to give users a consistent picture across organisations, as well as providing continuity when, for example, the transport manager moves to a new role.”

It’s the latest work by Driving for Better Business to help organisations whose staff drive for work to ensure their legal responsibilities are met and to access key resources. Founded in 2007, the campaign is focused on improving the levels of compliance for all those who drive or ride for work by demonstrating the significant benefits of managing work-related road risk more effectively.
