Getting people to try something new is often a lot simpler than convincing them to make a permanent change. For most people, convenience is the most important thing even when informed of the long-term benefits to their health and wealth.

However, if you can counteract the downsides and make cycling to work easier for your staff, you’ll be far more likely to convince them to leave the car at home (For good!). Here at Bike2Work, we’re passionate about getting people cycling so we’ve put together a short list of ways you can keep your employees wheels turning full-time:

In our recent posts we’ve covered how to increase productivity and encourage your staff to live a healthier lifestyle, but one area that often holds businesses back is low employee engagement. Keeping engagement high and making sure your employees are motivated can have a very positive effect.

That’s why we’ve put together a short list of 4 ways you can increase morale and keep your employees engaged.

Keeping your employees happy and productive can feel like an uphill struggle for managers. On the one hand, monitoring your team every second of the working day can help to see where there is room for growth but it could also have a negative impact on employees who may feel pressured or discouraged. Vice versa, giving your employees too much independence could lead to people taking advantage and letting the team down.

Increasing productivity isn’t a set process you can follow step-by-step and what works for one business may not be helpful for yours. That’s why we’ve put together a list of a few different ways you can encourage your employees to be more productive and engaged.
