Bicycle leasing tailored to the healthcare sector
Leasing a company bike: Who is it for and how does it work?
Who is it for?
Bike leasing is available to employers and employees under the joint committee for healthcare institutions and services, including: Hospitals, Forensic psychiatric centers, rehabilitation centers, home nursing services, and more*.
How does it work?
The budget that can be allocated to bike leasing consists of the full or partial conversion of the gross year-end bonus.
You heard that right—employees can't use their gross salary for bike leasing, but it's a huge win for your team.

Why healthcare professionals love Joule
Joule ❤️ the healthcare industry and the love is mutual. But judge for yourself!
Stijn Vandeurzen (Prevention Advisor Ter Heide) summarizes it nicely: "Employee happiness is connected to good mobility. It is easy for our employees to commute by bike and no longer depend on their cars. No traffic jams have a positive impact, and biking to work provides much-needed relaxation."
Diana Achten (Team Coach): "The process at Joule went very smoothly. I was presented different simulations with different accessories and prices. I received the right guidance and information to choose the right bike. The communication between myself, HR and Joule went very well across the board."

And also health insurance fund Helan strongly believes in the power of bike leasing with Joule: “Employees bike so much more now, also outside work,” says Kaat Van Hecke, HR Expert at Helan. "We think this is great, of course, as the physical and mental well-being of our colleagues is paramount at Helan. Moreover, healthy employees are more motivated in their jobs, which ultimately also benefits our customers. Personally, using a car makes me feel uncomfortable. Once you've tried a bicycle lease, you don't want to go back."
