what does it mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Mobility management, the fleet industry\u2019s new buzzword, refers to the mobility of team members within an organization \u2013 more specifically for business purposes \u2013 and associated management techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, it is about extending traditional fleet management practices by integrating employee-related \u2018big data\u2019 \u2013 such as time, location and work behaviors \u2013 into daily operations, in order to pinpoint additional cost savings and enhance efficiency opportunities in regarding to how they travel.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s fast-paced society, it\u2019s important to stay in control of employee mobility and the associated costs so, as a first step, make sure you\u2019re able to answer the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check-square-o\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>How much does it currently cost each individual employee to travel to their target destination?<\/li>\n<li>How often do they travel and for what purpose?<\/li>\n<li>How is each journey made?<\/li>\n<li>Would an alternative mode of transport be viable?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It might sound simple, but by ensuring that you have an overview of all company travel requirements, you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check-square-o\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Create more economical, streamlined travel options<\/li>\n<li>Control and reduce spending<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the organization\u2019s carbon footprint<\/li>\n<li>Increase employee satisfaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With this in mind, it\u2019s important to recognize that a change in mobility practices is coming \u2013 be clear on what you want, and make sure you have the ability to adapt as the industry evolves.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the alternative options?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First things first, mobility management isn\u2019t implying you get rid of all your company vehicles and everyone ride the bus.<\/p>\n<p>But it has become increasingly apparent that owning a vehicle is not always the most appropriate or cost-effective solution with regards to day-to-day business travel, so it\u2019s important that you have the means to thoroughly evaluate other alternatives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.condorferries.co.uk\/business-travel-statistics#:~:text=The%20business%20travel%20industry%20is,to%20%241.6%20trillion%20by%202020.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Approximately $1.3 trillion was spent on global business travel in 2017.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A company car can still provide the best solution, as it transports an employee door-to-door in a reasonable amount of time \u2026but have you checked there isn\u2019t another option that provides the same flexibility and productivity, at a lower cost?<\/p>\n<p>If not, the answer might be right under your nose\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Consider the following alternative means to the company car:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Travel allowances for personal vehicle use<\/li>\n<li>Corporate vehicle pools and pool cars<\/li>\n<li>Short term rentals<\/li>\n<li>Public transport solutions (train, bus etc..)<\/li>\n<li>New-age private hire companies, such as Uber and Lyft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7422 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/NEWUberMM.jpg\" alt=\"a smartphone that shows the uber logo and the statistics: 6% of business transactions were with uber\" width=\"1285\" height=\"681\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>More recently, the emergence of mobility cards has given fleet managers something else to think about\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Employees with mobility cards are allocated a monthly travel budget, which presents them with the freedom to choose their preferred means of travel. Also working as a financial incentive, employees are invited to keep the remaining balance at the end of each month which, in turn, works to increase employee satisfaction while encouraging more sustainable travel choices.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, this step-change cannot be generalized across all fleet vehicles within your business, for example logistics and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/public-safety\/\">blue light vehicles<\/a> are unlikely to require change \u2013 as they service a function beyond simply the transport of personnel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The benefits of managing employee mobility:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7424 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LightbulbMMNEW-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1285\" height=\"579\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>The ability to effectively manage the mobility of people is increasingly an essential part of any corporation\u2019s fleet management tool kit.<\/p>\n<p>By applying the principles of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in a system that also measures the Total Cost of Mobility (TCM), it is possible to create a more economical; efficient; streamlined and cost-effective operation \u2026and the benefits of mobility management are clear.<\/p>\n<p>It allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Know the true cost of employee travel \u2013 by evaluating and identifying the most cost-effective mode of transport<\/li>\n<li>Calculate exact transport budgets, and provide spending controls that lead to better bottom line performance<\/li>\n<li>Improve the utilization of work forces by incorporating mobility-related data<\/li>\n<li>Improve operational efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Enhance employee satisfaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Software solutions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not all that long ago, accessing mobility options could prove time consuming and difficult, however, today many of those alternatives are more readily available, either via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/products\/fleetwave-driver\/\">web-based solutions or mobile applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Software to track and manage the mobility of employees has also improved, and new capabilities developed in recent years now make it simpler to manage flexible, corporate travel arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it helps you to understand what\u2019s best for your business by considering which time and cost variables provide the most effective means of meeting your company needs \u2026and there are several ways in which these tools can be applied to streamline mobility.<\/p>\n<p>It allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Effectively manage all forms of travel, including company issued vehicles, pool vehicles, personal cars, rentals and a range of public transportation options<\/li>\n<li>Introduce mobility cards, which provide employees with a travel budget that can be used for a variety of transportation services<br \/>\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Compare travel options, in real time, to develop corporate mobility policies that lower cost without impacting efficiency or productivity<\/li>\n<li>Track and manage accounts with external transportation providers<\/li>\n<li>Improve visibility into driver information to ensure compliance with regulations and corporate rules<br \/>\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Keep driver records organized and up-to-date so that all the information you need is available when company or personal vehicles are in use<\/li>\n<li>View information in a single dashboard where you can include details of vehicle usage and other types of travel expenses<\/li>\n<li>Develop reports on mobility solutions to find the most cost effective and efficient alternatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/fINA-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1285\" height=\"503\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The mobility management of people for business purposes is about making more intelligent transportation choices based on an understanding of both business needs and the preferences of people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that parts of the industry will a move away from traditional vehicle ownership, focusing instead on mobility, however, for this movement to be successful, employees will need to accept the change and evolve simultaneously \u2013 they will play perhaps the most critical role in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>As the industry progresses, mobility is likely to become an integral part of the overall fleet management equation, leading to better management decisions with regards to the use and acquisition of all types of fleet and corporate assets, including the people charged with conducting your everyday business.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"content-section content-section--curved content-section--fade-to-grey content-section--big-overlap\">\n    \n    <div
