eDriving Wins Gold Stevie® in 2019 International Business Awards®
HUDDERSFIELD, England, Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- eDrivingSM has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® in the 16th Annual International Business Awards®.
A record total of more than 4,000 nominations from organisations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. eDriving won in the Governance, Risk & Compliance Solution category for its patented driver safety programme, Mentor by eDrivingSM.
"This is proving to be quite the year for Mentor; our third award in four months," said Ed Dubens, Founder and CEO of eDriving. "I'm ecstatic that Mentor has been formally recognised at an international level for its ability to help drivers all over the world manage, control and reduce their risk of crashes, change their behaviour when behind the wheel and ultimately return home safely to their loved ones at the end of each day."
Mentor by eDriving provides everything managers need to achieve and sustain a crash-free culture® in a smartphone-based micro learning and behavioural change management system. Mentor guides driver performance and provides feedback on risky behaviours such as harsh acceleration, braking, and cornering, speeding, and phone distraction. Most importantly, it follows up with weekly 3-5 minute engaging, interactive coaching modules to address risky driving behaviours and influence attitudes and behaviours, one trip at a time.
Powered by the FICO® Safe Driving Score, Mentor empowers "good" drivers to prove their low-risk profile, and "high-risk" drivers to understand their risk exposures and how those factors affect their safety. Mentor incorporates many successful elements of gamification, including its "Circles" feature that encourages friendly competition between co-workers and provides opportunities for managers and drivers to remain engaged informally as they work together to remain collision-, licence endorsement- and injury-free. Mentor is available globally in 14 languages to date.
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.
Judges' comments about Mentor included:
- Clearly this is an important training tool in improving driving capabilities, with clear benefits.
- The results look very good and show a lot of promise. I particularly enjoyed that it is a globally usable software and that you are doing something impactful that helps save lives. Great work. Very impressive with data/metrics to back it up. Nice job!
- Great solution for driving safety and additional intelligence compared to built in vehicle solutions.
- Impressive life-saving innovation with good supporting documents. ABCDS (acceleration, braking, cornering, distraction, speeding) scoring in particular stands-out to me.
- A good product with a very good ROI.
- Effective method of tracking commitment and enhancement in relation to industry benchmarks.
- A product that has the potential to truly save lives and make a difference. A great approach to solving distracted and aggressive driving.
"The IBA judges from across the world were highly impressed with the nominations they reviewed this year.
