The Commuting Professional: How Your Driving Habits Affect Your Career Costs
The Commuting Professional: How Your Driving Habits Affect Your Career Costs
July 30 is “National Intern Day,” a time to celebrate the next generation of professional talent. As mentors and managers, we often teach interns about soft skills, time management, and industry expertise. But there is one “professional asset” that often goes overlooked: Your Driving Record.
The Professional Cost of a Claim
For the modern professional, a clean driving record is a baseline requirement. Excessive tickets, at-fault accidents, or a DUI don’t just increase your insurance premiums—they can impact your eligibility for certain company roles, security clearances, or even your ability to rent a car for business travel.
Using Data to Mentor Your Habits
If you are managing interns or junior staff, encourage them to adopt “Data-Driven Driving.” By using Telematics apps, new drivers can get immediate, objective feedback on their performance. It turns the boring commute into a chance to refine their awareness, distance management, and reaction times. Promoting a culture of safe, responsible driving is a “soft skill” that pays dividends for a lifetime.
