Explore New Safety Recognition Features to Continue Building Your Safety Culture
Ready to get the most out of your Driver Safety Program? Explore new Safety Recognition Safe Driving Report and Widget features from Lytx® to easily highlight and celebrate your best drivers.
Introducing the Safe Driving Trend Dashboard Widget and Safe Driving Report
Lytx’s new safety recognition features empower operations and safety teams to celebrate safe driving in real time, directly from video insights.
The Safe Driving Trend dashboard widget and Safe Driving report include shortcuts that make it easy to recognize drivers who have had no coachable events in the most recent completed quarter. Pairing this data with recognition strategies helps incentivize drivers to perform better by communicating driver value and increasing retention rates through employee satisfaction.
Safe Driving Trend Widget
The Safe Driving Trend widget sits on the Driver Safety dashboard. The widget provides quarter-over-quarter percentage trend of drivers who meet the safe driving criteria and are eligible for Safety Recognition.
A line graph highlights up to five data points, pulling the earliest data from the point in time when the feature was enabled. This allows you to compare a year of fleet safe driving changes against the same time frame in the previous year. This feature is most useful in cases where peak driving seasons play a key company role, for example, during holiday deliveries.
A gauge chart reflects the current percentage of “safe drivers” eligible for positive recognition within the fleet, and the Recognize Drivers shortcut gives you a complete list of the names of those drivers.
Easily identify which five groups had the highest percentage of safe drivers in the Groups by Highest % Safe Drivers section.
Safe Driving Report
In the Driver Safety tab, you can navigate to Insights > Safe Driving Report.
To be eligible for Safety Recognition, drivers must:
- Achieve a specified minimum driving distance for their group level (specified in Setting Configuration).
- Have a coachable score* of zero (0) within the quarter.
*Drivers with non-coachable behaviors and coachable behaviors with a score of zero are still eligible for recognition since they do not affect the driver’s overall coachable score.
Under the Drivers tab in the Safe Driving report, view a list of drivers who have met the Safe Driving criteria determined by the company settings, their assigned group, distance driven, and behaviors exhibited. Recognition Certificates populate from the data in this report.
From here, you can filter by group, date range, non-coachable behaviors, and name or ID, for fast access to see all your best drivers. Then, the “recognize” shortcut allows you to customize their Recognition Certificate.
Easily Deliver Recognition
Managers can also use the Safe Driving report and widget features to identify safe drivers and groups of drivers and recognize them through custom Recognition Certificates, customizable to the driver’s achievements. The feature auto-populates the driver’s name, display date, and a standardized recognition reason. Recognition Reasons can be further customized to mention achievements over multiple quarters, multiple groups, or minimal non-coachable behaviors.
Managers can easily deliver recognition to drivers by:
- Printing certificates to share with drivers during face-to-face coaching and communication sessions
- Emailing certificates directly to drivers
- Allowing drivers to view their certificates anytime through the Lytx Driver App on their phones
Managers can also take advantage of the Lytx Store to gift branded swag to top performers and safe drivers as part of their overall positive recognition strategy.
Safety Culture That Scales
Positive recognition isn’t just a feel-good tactic—it’s a scalable strategy that aligns with KPIs in both safety and operations. With the Safe Driving Trend dashboard, your fleet and safety managers can monitor fleet safety performance at a glance. Managers can tailor metrics such as mileage thresholds and see what percentage of drivers have met or exceeded their goals by quarter.
“I love these features,” said Charles Rockwell, Safety Manager at JBS Carriers Inc. “They make it easy for me to see which of our drivers are qualified and performing well. Sure, pay is important for drivers. But communication, respect, and proper recognition are right up there, too. This aligns with our values and how we coach our drivers to maintain safe driving habits.”
Improvements in driver satisfaction, retention, and overall fleet productivity are a result of Lytx’s blend of Safety Recognition and customized coaching sessions that support driver skill development.
Sidney Brown, Chief Executive Officer for NFI Industries, shared feedback from one of his drivers about the Lytx Driver Safety program and DriveCam event recorders. “He said, ‘We’re tired of being blamed for things we never did. I love these event recorders because they show that we are really good drivers—and a lot of times we don’t get the credit for how good we are.’”
Better Video Insights, Faster Coaching, and Smarter Operations.
Why do all of these tools matter? Because when your drivers feel seen for what they’re doing right, they’re more likely to stay engaged, drive safely, and stick with your company for the long haul. Lytx’s Safety Recognition can lead to:
- Improved morale and retention
- Improved safe driving behaviors that can reduce collisions and claims
- Creation of a culture founded on trust and accountability
By pairing positive recognition with enhanced video search capabilities, your team can quickly verify incidents, recognize positive or safe behavior, and coach with confidence. These new features are built to reduce friction—giving operations managers instant access to key moments without digging through footage or wasting valuable hours.
