Geotab Joins Forces with Healthy Heads to Champion Mental Health

Geotab, a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions, has partnered with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (Healthy Heads) as a Premier Partner to tackle one of the transport industry’s toughest challenges: mental health and wellbeing.

Healthy Heads, established in 2020 by industry leaders including Australia Post, Woolworths, Toll, Linfox and Coles, is a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to supporting the mental health of workers across transport, warehousing and logistics. Its mission is to build resilience and sustainability in a sector that underpins the nation’s supply chain.

Sean Killen, Vice President of Global Markets at Geotab, said the collaboration is about addressing the daily pressures drivers face:

“Driver safety and well-being is at the core of Geotab’s mission. Long hours, isolation, congestion and tight delivery deadlines are some of the factors contributing to this situation. Plain and simple, being a truck driver is difficult. We are proud to support Healthy Heads, together we can bring visibility to mental health and wellbeing, making it an ongoing priority across the industry.”

Recent research conducted by Geotab highlights the scale of the issue. More than two-thirds (68%) of drivers reported that work-related stress negatively affects their driving performance, while 78% said mental health issues contribute to road dangers. Alarmingly, over a third (34%) had considered quitting their jobs in the past year.

The partnership will deliver awareness campaigns, early intervention programs and data-driven initiatives aimed at improving mental health outcomes. Geotab’s telematics and analytics capabilities will be used to co-design practical and scalable programs that businesses of all sizes can adopt.

Naomi Frauenfelder, CEO of Healthy Heads, welcomed the collaboration:

“Geotab brings deep expertise in safety, data and connected fleet technology, all of which are capabilities that align with our mission to improve the wellbeing of every individual in the logistics supply chain. We look forward to working together to make a lasting difference across the sector.”

For an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of Australians, the partnership represents a meaningful step towards safer, healthier and more sustainable workplaces.
