Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   This week, Justin is rejoined by Susan Gillies-Hipp, the Executive Director of NETS® (the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety), to discuss — you guessed it — fleets and traffic safety in 2022!   Susan shares how supply chain disruptions are impacting risk-based decision-making when it comes to fleets and fleet safety, important trends regarding fleet traffic (and how these trends have changed over the last several years), and how electric vehicles are changing the dialogue around fleet safety.
