GPS tracking eliminates suspicion and creates accountability

OKLAHOMA CITY - November 14, 2014 - GPS tracking is commonly associated with catching a dishonest employee, which may initially give the impression that GPS tracking is all about suspicion. While this may be one feature of GPS tracking, the overall goal is really to create a better work environment for everyone. Here are a few of the ways that GPS tracking can help give employees a reason to smile.

1. Eliminates the Accusatory Feeling

Without a GPS tracker, a manager is forced to believe they have hired honest people, but without any proof. This makes employees feel like they are automatically being accused of wrongdoing. GPS tracking creates data that eliminates the need to accuse anyone. It provides facts that speak for themselves, removing the uncomfortable feeling of being questioned or suspected.

2. Provides Protection from False Accusations

GPS tracking protects honest employees from false customer complaints. When a client calls to say a driver never showed up or left early, the GPS tracker provides concrete evidence of arrival and departure times. This prevents honest employees from being unfairly disciplined based on incorrect information.

3. Creates Fair Performance Reviews

GPS tracking data allows managers to provide objective performance reviews based on facts rather than subjective opinions. Employees appreciate being evaluated on actual performance metrics like on-time arrivals, efficient routing, and time spent at job sites rather than manager impressions or customer hearsay.

4. Reduces Micromanagement

When managers have access to GPS tracking data, they don't need to constantly check in with drivers or question their activities. This gives employees more autonomy and freedom during their workday. Employees appreciate being trusted to do their jobs without constant supervision, while managers gain peace of mind knowing they can verify activity if needed.

5. Rewards Top Performers

GPS tracking makes it easy to identify and reward the best employees. Managers can clearly see which drivers complete the most jobs, take the most efficient routes, and provide the best customer service. This objective data makes it fair to offer bonuses, promotions, or other rewards to top performers.

Benefits for Employees

  • Protection: Defense against false accusations from customers
  • Trust: Less micromanagement and more autonomy
  • Fairness: Objective performance evaluations
  • Recognition: Top performers can be identified and rewarded
  • Transparency: Clear expectations and accountability for all
