The commute to work has changed. Many of us are going into our place of work less often, we might be working in a new job, or face a longer commute if we made a lockdown decision to move.
The ‘super-commute’ might once have been for top level execs but now more workers are embracing the idea.
Whether it’s getting to the office or travelling as part of the working day, most of us still need transport. This month we consider three ways in which Enjoy Benefits can help to improve your journey.
Leased Car Scheme helps with motoring costs
The Covid-19 pandemic raised key questions about the time, money and health costs of commuting. Staff who haven’t had to budget for train tickets or petrol are now more aware than ever of the cost of their journey.
The Enjoy Benefits Leased Car Scheme can help by offering an affordable way to have a new car. Staff are able to access manufacturer discounts and then lease their vehicle through salary sacrifice.
No deposit or credit checks are needed. Car insurance, tax and maintenance costs are all included. At a time when fuel costs are high, there’s money to be saved by driving a more efficient car.
The largest savings are on the lowest CO2 emission vehicles and electric and hybrid cars are available, which can help with your green business credentials.
There’s no cost to employers to offer the staff the benefit of a new car so why not find out more today?
Cycling to Work Benefits your business
Getting on your bike is another way to keep your carbon footprint low. Over 750,000 people in England and Wales cycle to work, according to the Institute for Employment Studies.
The survey also suggests that staff took up cycling, or cycled more, as a result of their involvement in a workplace bicycle scheme. As well as reducing pressure on car parks and roads, cycling helps staff to burn calories and offers an alternative to busy public transport as Covid and flu rates rise during colder months.
You can save up to 42% on the price of a new bike with the Enjoy Benefits Cycle to Work Scheme. Staff can choose the bicycle they want and the business buys the equipment and hires it back to the employee who repays the cost over 12 months.
There’s no charge to implement the scheme, we provide all the payroll info and ensure compliance with HMRC. There are also potential savings for you and your staff on National Insurance, tax, as well as fuel and parking costs.
There is substantial evidence showing that physical activities like cycling can help prevent serious conditions like coronary heart disease and diabetes and result in reduced sickness absence.

Make your Journey Productive with Technology
Bicycle, car or kayak, however you get to work, monitoring your health while on the move has become increasingly popular. The rise in the use of wearable tech like smart watches means it’s easy to keep track of daily steps, calories, your heart rate, and sleep. They also help you to be productive on your journey by reading and responding to messages.
The Enjoy Benefits Technology scheme enables you to buy the latest kit whilst saving money.
There’s up to 12% off high street or online costs for the latest gadgets including smart watches, mobile phones and tablets.
Interest-free payments are spread across 12 months and deducted monthly from your salary. It’s cost neutral to your business and proven to be a fantastic retention and attraction benefit. TVs, printers, gaming consoles, laptops and more, are products most of your employees will want to own. So why not make them available for less?
Savings on technology, cars, holidays and days out are all available via an Enjoy Benefits package with advantages for your business too. For a happy, healthy team who are productive on the move, check out our full range of benefits.
