How leveraging shared mobility solutions for your employees will save you money… Really!
In today's competitive business environment, employers are constantly seeking innovative ways to keep costs in check, to attract and retain top talent, and to create a competitive advantage. One effective strategy that not only contributes to an employer's bottom line but also adds value to employees is offering commuter benefits. By incorporating shared mobility solutions such as shuttles, vanpools, and carpools into their offerings, employers can reduce their overall budget expenditures. So, I’ve been surprised to hear from so many employers that they “can’t afford” to offer commuter benefits, especially since flexigo’s solutions can make commuter benefits ROI positive well within the first year. Below, I’ll explore how these cost-effective commuter benefits and flexigo’s management of them can benefit your company.
Commuter benefits have gained popularity over the years as employers recognize the impact of transportation costs on employee well-being and productivity. By providing smart solutions that alleviate commuting challenges, companies can further enhance employee satisfaction, reduce stress, and foster a positive work environment.
Shared mobility solutions like fixed-route and dynamic shuttle services, vanpools, and carpools offer a range of advantages for both employees and employers. Here’s a high-level overview of each, along with their cost savings potential.
1. Shuttle Services: Shuttle services are an excellent option for companies with large employee populations, especially those situated in areas with limited public transportation options. By partnering with companies like flexigo, employers can offer comprehensive mobility solutions, such as customized shuttle services tailored to their employees' needs. These shuttles provide reliable, convenient, and cost-effective transportation, reducing reliance on individual vehicles.
3. Carpools: Carpooling encourages employees to share rides to work, reducing the number of vehicles on the road and easing traffic congestion. Employers can support carpooling initiatives by providing designated parking spaces for carpoolers and facilitating connections between employees interested in carpooling.
