Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy during what continues to be unique times for many. Here at NETS I am pleased to share exciting news as we have recently seen two notable milestones take place within our organization. Last month, registration was officially opened for our first ever NETS Virtual Strength In Numbers® Benchmark Conference. With the full support and engagement of the NETS Board of Directors, plans are falling into place nicely with registration building for what is sure to be an amazing learning experience for everyone.  

This year’s lineup of conference speakers is as strong as ever and is certain to resonate with many. Whether you are in the early stages of developing your road safety program, or managing a more mature program, this year’s conference proceedings are sure to have something for everyone. I encourage you to preview our latest agenda and share with fellow colleagues and other road safety advocates. As our conference is virtual this year, we have no restrictions or limits on attendance and welcome everyone to join what is the only conference dedicated exclusively to employer road safety.

In addition to our conference planning efforts, earlier this month we also unveiled an entirely new membership platform designed to resonate with organizations of all shapes and sizes. This is a major development and one which was also extensively shaped by the NETS Board of Directors. With this new membership model we will now be offering membership across a tiered structure vs. our historical one size fits all membership model. We are excited about these changes and certain it will afford additional flexibility to actively participate and engage in membership. Benefits include participating in our unique and value-added road safety Benchmark efforts resulting in more meaningful data analysis and best practice recommendations. With road safety continuing to be one of the biggest challenges and top risks for many employers, NETS membership remains one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce that risk.

Mobile device distractions put employees in danger and companies at risk. So why would anyone settle for safety measures that simply report what went wrong, or only work when people remember to turn them on? TRUCE Software automatically suspends distracting mobile apps and functions depending on what your employee is doing, where they are working or even the workgroup they are part of. You define the policy and TRUCE ensures compliance when and where it’s needed. Supporting more than 100,000 subscribers and some of the largest brands worldwide, our patented technology is making workplaces everywhere safer.
