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:

Studies show that having a more engaged workforce leads to an increase in productivity, staff retention and innovation.
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.

| We have some exciting news. The Government has recently updated the cycle to work scheme to encourage more people to commute to work by bike. This means the benefits of the scheme are now even better for both employees and employers. We’ve summarised some of the main points below and we’ve also produced a comprehensive guide to the changes that you can download below. |
|
Bikes and cycling equipment of up to any value, including E-Bikes, can now be covered by the cycle to work scheme |
|
| A broader selection of cycling accessories, including anything that an individual needs to commute by bike, can now be covered by the cycle to work scheme |
|
| Employers now have more flexibility to structure their schemes and set their own limits on the cost of bikes and equipment for employees |
|
For more information about the changes to the cycle to work scheme, you can download the guide below. It explains what all the changes are, what the benefits are for employees and employers and how you can set up a scheme in your workplace.

This may seem like an odd question – surely the benefits of employee development are plain to see? More highly skilled staff help companies to perform better and more productively, improving the bottom line as a result. But there’s more to employee development than just a company’s accounts.
