Cost efficiency is critical as businesses grapple with inflation. There are major costs associated with operating a company-owned fleet. This is why businesses across the US are transitioning to employee-owned fleets. Businesses are ditching the mega costs associated with acquiring cars, gas, insurance, liability, maintenance, and more. Not to mention the rate of depreciation is rapid and expensive, especially for high-mileage drivers. Empower your drivers by shifting to employee-owned fleets. And use a vehicle reimbursement partner to design your ideal vehicle program and ease your transition to a reimbursement model. It's a modern no-brainer — and the savings are huge! #Cardata #Fleet #Finance #Efficiency

Lee Adam spoke with Tim Sackett, SPHR, SCP, Top 10 Global HR Influencer, about what it takes to retain top field talent in today's competitive marketplace. From benefits to enablement and reimbursement, these two cover everything that companies need to know when they have teams on the road for work.

Flat allowances are failing drivers. Different jobs mean different distances. Some drivers cover 25,000 miles a year, others cover 5,000. But if you're giving everyone the same flat rate allowance, some drivers are losing out. That's why you need to implement a smarted system, one that factors in mileage bands. See what Paul and Torben have to say about this in the clip below.

𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀. That’s a problem for both employees and employers. HR teams are all about equity these days, but flat allowances are equal but not equitable. If you have someone driving 50,000 miles per year and someone driving 5,000 miles per year, you shouldn’t be giving both of them $600 per month. But many companies are. To attract and retain talent, you need to factor in different mileage bands, and pay people based on how far they’re actually driving. Although vehicle allowances may seem like the simplest option, there are other options that are just as easy but allow for more equitable reimbursement.

“𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁.” 🛻 That’s how Jeff Condron describes a fleet of cars owned by the employees of a company. While fleet management for company-owned fleets is highly regulated, there are blindspots when employees bring personal vehicles to work. That’s why these fleets are in the gray area, or “gray fleets.” There don’t exist a lot of technology or systems to enforce policies around gray fleets. But it’s also simply sometimes a lack of education. People don’t know what the risks are, and don’t consider their employee-owned fleets high risk. But there are significant insurance risks: an accident occurring during business hours, even in an employee-owned vehicle, could have their employer liable. Drivers might not be covered by their employer’s insurance policies, and their personal insurance might not have adequate coverage.  But there are solutions to all of this. In partnership with SambaSafety, leading driver safety data provider, Cardata offers motor vehicle record (MVR) checks and specialized driver safety training to help employees and employers drive safely for work, while minimizing risk. So drive safe! #DriverSafety #MVRs #CarInsurance #FAVR #GrayFleets From The Key with Lee Adam

Flat rate car allowances fail drivers because they're unfair. A $500 car allowance doesn't mean the same thing to two drivers in two different states, or even drivers in rural versus urban areas. From gas to insurance, the cost of driving varies widely across regions—so the value of a vehicle reimbursement should too.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆! 🇺🇸 Whether you’re watching the fireworks, grilling something up, or rereading the Declaration of Independence, we hope that everyone takes some time away from their desks and their dashboards and celebrates this important day with their friends and family.
