Should employers offer incentives to employees who commute by bicycle? |
In this day and age of rising health insurance costs, employee and their family member's illnesses due to lack of physical exercise, and other costs such as the general costs associated with parking maintenance, etc., should employers become more proactive regarding issues like bicycling that will in the end save them money? For instance, an employer could install a couple of showers for bicycle commuters / exercisers, a modest locker area, cycle racks, have a bike to work day, create contests, etc. ... much more. no i don't believe companies should have any sort of incentive, your health should be incentive enough, but i do believe maybe the government should some sort of tax break, but i bet it probably already exists I think this is a wonderful idea!! Yes, but good luck finding one unless you are a currier well, you do benefit if you dont pay for your car insurance... you can think about it that way. But because of corporate takeover bikes are becoming less popular. It is an interesting idea.. parking lots are expensive, so less cars means more money for the company... nice thought. it will never happen. maybe they could work at a gym. I think that employers should offer incentives to employees that wish to stay healthy. There was a company that I worked at that offered a gym and showers to people who wish to use it (free of charge). They also offered payback for employees that did not call in due to illness that could have been prevented. Such as a cold or flu. I feel it it an excellent idea and could promote better work environment. I think it's a great idea. Some people may dislike the incentives for the simple fact that they will never commute via bicycle. |
