The Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) and Brake, the road safety charity are encouraging organisations with at-work drivers to attend a forthcoming seminar on fleet management. The event, sponsored by Teletrac Navman, will cover some of the key topics affecting fleet operators today, including driver safety, sustainability in fleets, and evolving technology.
The seminar takes place on Tuesday 11 November in Auckland.
In an ever-changing world it can be challenging for fleets to keep up with the latest developments in fleet management, but having effective policies and procedures in place is important to meet safety and environmental, as well as business, goals. The seminar will look at some of the current challenges facing fleets, as well as opportunities in relation to safety, technology, the environment, and fleet management.
The event is open to anyone involved in, or with an interest in, fleet management, such as health & safety staff, fleet managers, senior management staff, fleet suppliers, insurers, and driver training providers. Speakers will discuss topics including:
• Driving policies and creating a safety culture
• Sustainability in fleets and product stewardship
• Humanising data
• The challenges and opportunities for today’s fleet managers
Following the seminar, in the evening, Brake is hosting the Australasian Fleet Champions Awards at the same venue, recognising organisations that have implemented measures to reduce their road risk.
Tickets to the seminar cost just $105+GST per person. Combined tickets to attend both the seminar and Fleet Champions Awards cost $199+GST each. To register, book online, or email info@brake.org.nz. Find out more about the event here.
Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ director, said: “If you have employees who drive on work purposes, fleet management, including managing your road risk, is a vital part of your workplace health and safety programme. We’re delighted to be working with AfMA and Teletrac Navman to bring fleet professionals a series of events covering some important current fleet management topics. These seminars are designed for organisations operating fleets of any size and type, and with any size of budget, and I encourage anyone with staff who drive on work purposes to attend.”
Mace Hartley, Executive Director AfMA said: “Industry-led seminars are the foundation stones for your continuing education and career advancement in fleet management. AfMA organises regular seminars but we especially enjoy heading over to New Zealand to connect with our NZ-based members and supporters. Whether you’re new to the fleet industry or have been in the game for many years – starting the conversation about vehicle safety is always an eye-opening experience and one we simply can’t take for granted.”
