So how do you hold yourself ꟷ and your management team, your employees, and their families ꟷ accountable for keeping to the standards and not widening the plate? One way is by participating in NETS Annual Strength IN Numbers® Benchmark report for which data and program responses are currently being collected for Data Year 2020. The report brings together socially responsible companies willing to look at their own crash metrics, compare findings and share what they’ve learned. Members identify best practices to put in place a cost-effective, integrated, and comprehensive plan to improve their road safety performance.

NETS mission is to advance road safety among drivers, all employees and their families, and the communities where employees live and work. We strive for this mission in all we do, including our recently updated Cost of Motor Vehicle Crashes to Employers Report and accompanying Cost of Crashes Calculator which can help you measure your company’s cost of collisions in order to make the case to senior leadership for investing in a comprehensive road safety program.

In addition, NETS has begun planning the 2021 annual Strength IN Numbers® Road Safety and Latin America (LATAM) conferences. Finally, through NETS membership, we offer networking between NETS member companies representing a variety of sectors and an online Forum to share ideas and best practices.

NETS 2021

As we continue our journey living with the COVID-19 global pandemic, the health and wellness of NETS members and fellow road safety colleagues remains of utmost priority. With the potential for various financial and travel limitations continuing in the months to come, the NETS Board of Directors has made the decision to conduct our 2021 annual NETS Strength IN Numbers® Road Safety Conference as well as our corresponding International Latin America (LATAM) Regional Satellite conference proceedings in a VIRTUAL environment.

With record-setting turnout during our 2020 Strength IN Numbers^® Road Safety conference we again anticipate another high-quality and engaging learning experience for everyone this year!

Mobile device distractions put employees in danger and companies at risk. So why would anyone settle for safety measures that simply report what went wrong, or only work when people remember to turn them on? TRUCE Software automatically suspends distracting mobile apps and functions depending on what your employee is doing, where they are working or even the workgroup they are part of. You define the policy and TRUCE ensures compliance when and where it’s needed. Supporting more than 100,000 subscribers and some of the largest brands worldwide, our patented technology is making workplaces everywhere safer.
