Quick answer

If your staff finish late, plan their journey home. Use vetted drivers and fixed pick-up points, keep records of who travelled with whom, require check-ins on arrival and share routes with a supervisor. For higher-risk routes or valuable roles, an escort vehicle can add a further layer.
