Oce : Case Study

Change in driving culture yields real business benefits

A 30 per cent cut in accident rates is just one result from a change in the driving culture amongst the 630 employees of Océ (UK) Limited who drive as part of their job.  Accident costs have also been almost halved and employee wellbeing and safety have been significantly improved.

"The result is a measurable contribution to our business efficiency and savings that go straight to the bottom line," says Colin Jones, Fleet Services Manager at the UK's leading document print and management solutions company. "These are tangible business benefits that can be put down to the high standard of driver risk assessment followed by individually tailored training packages provided by Peak Performance.

"They manage the entire process for us from carrying out the initial assessment using their unique Drivermetrics on-line system to providing personal driver coaching that means our employees get exactly what they need tailored individually to them.  Employees are contacted and all arrangements made by Peak Performance, which takes the burden away from my team.

"Feedback from participants is always very positive.  The trainers are experienced, professional and friendly and make our people feel instantly at ease. As a result, any initial cynicism is quickly overcome, drivers enjoy the training and look forward to their next course or three-yearly refresher."
