Have you ever heard of company cycling and the benefits it can bring you as an employer?
Encouraging your employees to cycle is a way of presenting yourself as a company that is aware of environmental issues and concerned about the mental and physical health of your team.
Here are a few good reasons to start cycling in 2023!
Savings for your company
Company bicycles are 100% tax-deductible, provided they are used for commuting purposes. As an employer, you therefore have no tax to pay on this benefit. Costs relating to the development of cycling infrastructure within the company are also fully deductible for the employer.
These include
- The installation of bicycle shelters
- The purchase, installation or renovation of sanitary facilities: changing rooms, showers, lockers, etc.
- The purchase of company bicycles and accessories (helmets, locks, chasubles, fonts, etc.).
- Bike maintenance, the purchase of tools or small repair equipment, or even the installation of a repair workshop.
- Bike leasing (operational or financial)
Reduced absenteeism
The percentage of absenteeism among cyclists is lower than among car drivers. 11 km/h: that's the average speed of a car in town during rush hour. Without training, cyclists will travel at between 10 and 15 km/h. There will be less risk of delay for your two-wheeled employee than for your car-driving worker. What's more, cycling 3 kilometres, 3 days a week, reduces absenteeism by an average of one day a year per employee.
Better mental health for your team
Happy employees are far more productive than unhappy ones, and it's not traffic jams that contribute to your staff's good mood. On the other hand, cycling to work helps to prevent a great deal of stress. This daily physical exercise has a positive impact on fitness and health. By cycling 4 kilometres every morning and evening, workers improve their mood and increase their life expectancy by two and a half years.
