Excited to share that BW DIGITAL has partnered with Workride to enhance our commitment to sustainability and employee well-being! 🌱🚴 Through this partnership, several of our colleagues have already embraced the opportunity to acquire e-bikes via a salary sacrifice system. It's more than just commuting; it's about contributing to mental well-being, reducing CO2 emissions, and easing traffic in Auckland.   But that's not all—our commitment to sustainable commuting is further supported by reimbursing up to $1000 per year for public transport expenses. These initiatives are just a few ways we strive to make BW Digital an exceptional place to work.   We're proud of our team for choosing greener, healthier commuting options and contributing to a more sustainable planet. 🌍💼 Thanks Workride for making this happen.   #Sustainability #EmployeeBenefits #GreenCommute" As Workride is going to have the public transport offering by the end of the year, so employees can salary sacrifice this cost to be provided with a further financial incentive! We are looking forward to joining Workrides public transport benefit this year. https://lnkd.in/gKqfpWqk

Newmarket IT company, ZOZO New Zealand Ltd, jumped at the opportunity to subsidise public transport for their staff. They are one of the earliest adopters of Fareshare, an AT initiative which allows employers to subsidise their employees public transport costs. Zozo have opted to subsidise their staff’s travel by a generous 75%! Zozo’s People & Culture Manager, Lory Costa had this to say about their Fareshare experience. “At Zozo, the introduction of the Fareshare programme has been met with enthusiasm from our team. Previously, our transportation support for staff was limited to providing parking facilities and reimbursements, which overlooked the needs of our public transport using employees.” “With Fareshare these employees feel acknowledged and valued, and we’ve also seen a shift in commuting habits. Some who previously drove are now opting for public transport, drawn by the convenience and cost-effectiveness of the subsidy. These changes have fostered a more inclusive, environmentally conscious, and traffic-reducing culture within our team. Zozo is proud to support a programme that not only benefits our employees but also contributes positively to the wider Auckland area.”  If you’re interested in finding out more about Fareshare and how it could work for your business, check out at.govt.nz/fareshare

What makes a #CompanyCar scheme a popular benefit for today's workforce? In the current #HybridWorking environment, a company car scheme still stands out as an attractive benefit. With more employees working from home, a company car offers flexibility, convenience and is a cost-effective way of accessing a vehicle. The inclusion of #ElectricVehicles in these schemes also supports #sustainability goals and appeals to environmentally conscious employees. Offering this benefit can be a key differentiator in attracting and retaining top talent, showing your commitment to their well-being and the environment. 🍃 Caroline Sandall-Mansergh, our Consultancy and Channel Development Manager, shares her insight in EmployeeBenefits’ recent article.

The Cycle to Work scheme allows employers to provide bicycles and cyclists’ safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit. The scheme must be offered to all employees and the bike must be used mainly for qualifying journeys i.e., between home and work. However, private use of the bike is also allowed. Where the scheme conditions are satisfied employees can benefit from a significant tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) exemption. In addition, there is no employer liability to pay Class 1A NICs. #TaxFreeBikes #EmployeePerks

🚗🌱👥 Belgian Group of Ten unanimous on mobility! 🔍 Reading time: 3 minutes 🚦 The mobility situation in our country is the focus of a joint opinion of employers’ and employees’ organisations within the National Labour Council and the Central Business Council, to which employers and trade unions are strongly committed together! This statement provides important guidelines for future policy makers and highlights urgent actions for more sustainable mobility. 🟡 Remember that the 'gilets jaunes' revolt in France started with an increase in fuel prices. People on low incomes face many challenges in dealing with mobility issues, especially in rural areas. The story therefore distinguishes between the north and south of the country. Joe Bloggs values his old car, despite its environmental impact, because it gives him mobility. The average person is also sceptical about car-pooling and might consider it a useful alternative after a positive experience. This illustrates the complexity of mobility issues for low-income people and the need for accessible solutions in an increasingly digital society. The Green Deal on climate change adds to this. 🛣️ With better governance and solution-oriented policies for citizens, workers, and enterprises as a priority, employers' and workers' organisations want to work together to meet the challenges of effective mobility in support of social and economic development. 👥 The creation of efficient public transport, the promotion of multimodal hubs, and the integration of shared mobility are just some of the many actions to promote modal shift. 🌍 In addition, the social partners aim for mobility that contributes to climate and environmental goals, with a focus on avoiding and shortening journeys and using the most efficient means of transport and energy sources. Both employers and employees have a key role to play in promoting sustainable mobility. By cooperating and pooling travel, supported by policies and investment in quality transport options, they can reduce barriers and improve labour market mobility. This advice to politicians in the run-up to the elections is a valuable source of knowledge and insight based on the expertise of all stakeholders. Let us promote this integrated approach, respecting social consultation and encouraging participation at all levels. Mobility will be one of the central themes of future policy. ℹ️ Together, let's build sustainable mobility for the future! #mobility #sustainability #socialpartners #belgium 🚀🌿🤝 https://lnkd.in/e5deMtyF

🏆 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Award-winning Ethical HR Consultancy are words which may take me some time to get used to. 🎉We could not be more delighted to announce that we have been awarded the 'SME NEWS UK Enterprise Award', for ‘Best Vegan & Sustainable HR Consultancy Service' 2024'💪🏽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an honour. 👏🏽😀 …… and I couldn't be more proud of this title. It's taken years to get the recognition for the work we do. Colleagues in HR will most likely agree that doing this job can be one of the hardest jobs in any organisation because every day is a challenge, where you're constantly fighting battles for the client, winning over employees, encouraging management, and settling conflicts. It can often be a thankless job. But we do it because we know that without our help, some of these organisations could have folded due to the pressure of employing people or because they've ended up at an employment tribunal. But my reason for doing it is to ensure that these ethical organisations treat their people the way they deserve to be treated, along with the fact there's a need for these organisations to exist and to undertake a particular cause. I couldn't have done it without the support of all my colleagues around me, you know who you are, but to name a few: Jai Street Ⓥ Matt Unsworth🌳 Verity Payne Kayleigh Anderson Sam Roblettⓥ🌱 David Pannell Ⓥ 🌱 ……… the list really does go on.
