This is the last in a 3-part series taken from an article appearing in the April 2025 issue of Chauffeur Driven magazine.
The last two weeks we looked at 7 common factors that contribute to a more relaxed approach in the workplace. This week we will examine some remedies and best practices to help fix them.
Tackling the Issues
You know the problems exist, so what can be done to have a more compliant organization? Here are some of the best practices that can help.
- Education and training: Invest in regular training sessions to keep owners, managers, and employees informed about current regulations and best practices.
- Hire compliance officers: Appoint dedicated compliance officers or teams responsible for monitoring and enforcing regulations within the company.
- Work with a third-party compliance company: Find a third-party safety and compliance company that has up-to-date digital storage and tracking software that meets the federal guidelines.
- Improve communication: Foster an open communication culture where safety and compliance are regularly discussed and prioritized.
- Leverage technology: Use technology to streamline compliance processes, such as electronic logging devices (ELDs) and compliance management software.
- Cultivate a safety-first culture: Promote a culture where safety and compliance are valued as much as productivity and efficiency.
By addressing these factors, bus companies can create a more balanced ap-
proach that prioritizes safety and regulatory compliance without sacrificing opera-
tional efficiency.
