Do you work in the transport sector under joint committee 226? Great news! With bike leasing, you and your team can say goodbye to traffic jams and parking hassles. It’s a win for your wallet, your health, and the planet. Let’s dive into how bike leasing works, the benefits, and how to get started.
What are the benefits of bike leasing?
The transport sector comes with its own unique challenges: tight schedules, parking nightmares, and a hefty carbon footprint. So why wouldn’t you jump on a (leased) bike? Here are (only some of) the benefits.👇
For you as an employer:
- Sustainable practices: Let’s face it, international transport isn’t exactly the poster child for sustainability... But with bike leasing, you can show you’re serious about green mobility. Bonus: instant karma points. 🌱
- Employer branding on point: Become the company everyone wants to work for. Attract top talent and keep your dream team intact.
- No extra costs: Possibly the best perk — bike leasing is entirely budget-neutral.Say what? Yep, you heard it right. 💸
For your employees:
- Cheaper than buying: A lease bike can save up to 40%, thanks to payments through gross salary. Plus, Joule’s service packages are 100% tax-deductible.
- Health boost & chill vibes: Daily cycling is great for the body and helps clear the mind. It’s way cheaper than a yoga retreat, trust us.
- Extra perks: Employees get a tax-free bike allowance and can lease accessories and insurance at a sweet discount.
