Employee risk isn’t static—it evolves, sometimes rapidly. The real challenge isn’t just identifying risk, but understanding how recent changes, and their severity, signal the likelihood of future incidents. Without this insight, organizations risk compromised workplace safety, financial losses, reputational harm, and more.
The key to prevention is detecting early warning signs before they escalate. For example, a minor traffic violation from years ago is an anomaly, but multiple reckless driving offenses in recent months signal growing risk. Drivers who had been cited for violations in one year were often cited again within 6 to 9 months—particularly in cases involving speeding or distracted driving.
This pattern isn’t limited to driving behavior. In fact, there’s a link between reckless criminal activity and dangerous driving. Having visibility into these patterns is key, and failing to monitor these evolving risks leaves businesses vulnerable to preventable risks, such as: higher insurance premiums, increased overall costs, heightened turnover due to unexpected employee misconduct, brand damage, and compromised workplace trust and safety by failing to enforce policies.
By focusing on recency and severity, organizations can shift from reactive crisis management to proactive risk mitigation, intervening before an incident happens instead of dealing with the aftermath.
Organizations can implement this strategy with Employee Risk Monitoring and Driver Monitoring. These real-time monitoring solutions provide instant visibility into critical changes in risk profiles across workforces, insurance-related parties, contractors, and beyond. It enables businesses to detect patterns early and take action to safeguard employees and customers, minimize risk, and protect their brands.
