Drivers are prone to dissatisfaction because they often work in isolation.   When it comes to professional drivers, employee satisfaction amounts to productivity and customer satisfaction. Fortunately, Avis Fleet Telematics is a tool that can help managers achieve employee engagement and counteract employee dissatisfaction. ## What is Avis Fleet Telematics? Avis Fleet makes use of technology with its [Telematics](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/telematics/) solution, where driver behaviour is analysed with the goal of reducing costs and improving efficiency.   This tool can gauge if a driver is speeding, over-revving, idling, braking too fast, taking an inefficient route to carry out business activities, as well as pinpointing when the driver begins and ends his/her journey. Moreover, the system alerts drivers when they are speeding, allowing him/ her to correct the situation before it escalates.   ### Using Avis Fleet Telematics to counteract the effect of employee dissatisfaction The data collected with Avis Fleet Telematics can be used to cut costs and achieve the objectives of the business. The benefits can be passed on as incentives to drivers, not necessarily financially.   It can also take the form of extra holiday time, vouchers, or public recognition, for example, a “Driver of the Year” title. Employees enjoy being recognised for their efforts, especially when the data used for assessment is transparent.   ### The benefits of using Avis Fleet Telematics for employee engagement As mentioned earlier, using the data from Avis Fleet Telematics can make your business more efficient and increase employee engagement. Avis Fleet Telematics can be used to reward drivers with the least violations and the best behaviour and this will lead to safer driving in general.   By putting a priority on safe, compliant and efficient driving, employers will create positive goals for drivers. And knowing that their employers put a premium on the quality of their work and on their safety can make workers feel satisfied.   [Avis Fleet](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/about-us/) is a fleet management company with longstanding experience and expertise.  We aim to help companies optimise their fleet with our range of solutions designed for your needs.   Find more information about [our vehicle financing and solutions here](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/), or feel free to contact us directly with any questions that you might have regarding our services.   [![Contact Us](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/483927/3ad1f786-00a8-4538-9d16-88b1cb681d9e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/483927/3ad1f786-00a8-4538-9d16-88b1cb681d9e) [Back](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) -   -   -   [Back](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) | [All posts](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) ##### You might also like ![Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Avis_April_Content-16.jpg) [Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/why-data-accuracy-is-your-most-important-fleet-asset) August 24, 2020 ![Fleet Telematics explained](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Telematics.png) [Fleet Telematics explained](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/fleet-telematics-explained) August 24, 2020 ![Tips to manage and reduce your fuel cost](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Tips%20to%20manage%20and%20reduce%20your%20fuel%20cost.jpg) [Tips to manage and reduce your fuel cost](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/tips-to-manage-and-reduce-your-fuel-cost) August 24, 2020 [![twitter icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/twitter%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://twitter.com/avis_fleet) [![linkedin icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/linkedin%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/avis-fleet/?originalSubdomain=za) - Assist Numbers - [Driver Emergency 0800 540 740](tel:0800540740) - [Road Side Assistance 0800 117 686](tel:0800117686) - [Want to buy a car? 011 973 7300](tel:0119737300) - [Intelligent Fuel Bureau 031 466 2583](tel:0314662583) - [Accident Management 0800 033 002](tel:0800033002) - [Find out more 011 552 9000](tel:0115529000) - [About us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/about-us) - [Careers](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zeda-southern-africa/jobs/) - [Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions) - [Blog](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news) - [Contact us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/contact-us) - [Countries](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/countries/zambia) - [Service history](https://service-history.avisfleet.co.za/) Copyright 2026. [Avis Fleet Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/).
