There are lots of reasons why cycling and walking are great ways for employees to travel to and from your site. What’s more, cycling and walking can help to keep your staff healthy and cut down on the number of sick days taken each year – saving you time and money.
One of the reasons for this is that regular cyclists have the fitness levels of people ten years their junior, reducing their risks of serious illness, heart disease and cancer. Walking for just 30 minutes a day can also improve health and fitness, giving employees the government-recommended amount of exercise per day.
So, by encouraging walking and cycling you are encouraging your staff to be healthy, stress-free and productive – and wealthier than they would be if they came to work by car. You’ll also be saving on car parking spaces, reducing congestion and, in turn, doing your bit to help the environment – all of which are great credentials for you and your business.
