Why you should rethink staff mobility
Reduced CO₂ emissions – a real-life example
An employee commutes 3,648 km to work each year, driving a mid-range diesel car with a fuel consumption of 4.1 l/100 km.
By deciding to switch to a company bike for the commute to work, the employee’s CO₂ balance changes as follows:
Before (car only): 396.36 kg of CO₂ per year
After (company bike + car): 0 kg of CO₂ per year
Savings: 396.36 kg of CO₂ per year

How to integrate the company bike model in your own organization
1. Analysis – identify the need
It all starts with the question: Where do we stand right now? A focused needs analysis paves the way for promoting bicycle mobility as part of comprehensive company mobility management. This analysis should include a close look at the location, the transport routes used and the mobility needs of your employees and other stakeholders. Quantitative methods such as trip logs or traffic flow analyses provide reliable data, while qualitative surveys provide valuable insights into personal mobility preferences.
2. Approach – develop solutions as a joint effort
Whether it’s about a mobility budget or company bike leasing: Specific measures should be developed, based on the needs analysis. Promoting social innovation pays dividends. Be sure to involve internal and external stakeholders – including your workforce, the municipal administration, company bike leasing providers and public transport organizations – in decision-making processes at an early stage. The right combination of social and technical solutions, such as a mobility budget, generates real added value.
3. Implementation – create the foundation
To ensure that the bike-based mobility concept will stand the test of time in everyday life, you need to establish an adequate infrastructure. This includes covered bike racks, locker rooms, showers and, ideally, a workshop for minor repairs. You may want to support multimodal mobility by combining cycling with public transport – and offer your employees company bike leasing as an attractive option.
4. Evaluation – measure the effect and gather feedback
What is on track? Where do you see room for improvement? Periodic evaluations help make the success of your measures visible and to identify optimization potential. In addition to collecting usage data or participation rates, feedback from your workforce provides valuable insights and ideas. These are useful for the development of campaigns and incentive programs.
5. Ongoing integration – establish mobility for the long run
Be sure to anchor bike-based mobility as an ongoing concept in your company’s day-to-day business. Internal campaigns, team challenges, rewards or awareness-raising activities promote the idea and make cycling a natural part of everyday working life. At the same time, such measures strengthen team spirit and promote a healthy way of life. In this way, more exercise and greater employee satisfaction come naturally.
Why promote cycling?
We live in the age of the mobility transition, and the bicycle is a major pillar of this transition. It’s eco-friendly, flexible and cost-saving.
