Searching for a Sure-shot Way to Ensure Safe Commute for Women Employees?

Look no further!

Consider this scenario: A 30-year-old woman employee of a multinational company stays back at the office for a meeting after dark hours. She struggles with booking a cab, is scared all through the drive back home (being alone in the cab at night), and her family is worried about her safe arrival. The cab gets pictures at a deserted stretch, and her anxiety shoots up; she is constantly calling home to keep them updated about her status. She reaches home late and is scared to stay back for another work meeting the next time, owing to all the hassle about safe commuting from work.

Now consider an alternate scenario: Right after she learns about the late meeting, she places an adhoc cab request with her office’s employee transportation system app, her ride is confirmed, she is able to share her ride details with family, she travels home with an escort, and her office also receives a’safe reach call’ through the AFM employee transport automation solution! She is relaxed, her family is stress-free, and she puts her best foot forward at work every single day.

What Do We Learn From These Two Scenarios?
