legacyconnect can enable better and more commute options for employers and their employees
Congestion and its associated frustrations - lost time, lost productivity, and stress - are on the rise in the Legacy area. With 99 percent of Legacy employees driving alone to their workplaces, it’s easy to see why. The roads we have cannot support so many single-occupant vehicles, and unless commuters have access to other options congestion will only get worse. Meanwhile, almost half of employees in the Legacy area say they would use other commuting options if they were available. LegacyConnect is working with employers to help change this unsustainable level of drive-alone commuting.
In today’s competitive job market, corporations are seeing a shift in employee expectations of their work environment. Today’s employees are as interested in work-life priorities as they are in compensation. A big component of work-life balance is commuting, and employees are increasingly including the cost and pain of their commute as they calculate the value of total compensation.
Companies that acknowledge and address this reality stand to benefit in a number of ways. More and more research shows that improving their employees’ experience of getting to and from work by promoting alternate types of transportation is good for the bottom line. Significant financial benefits are realized, such as decreased recruiting and retention costs, increased productivity, and decreases in parking costs, when companies focus on solving one of the most painful parts of their employees’ day: the commute.
LegacyConnect can help. We offer a range of professional services, all of which are designed to provide your business with a set of viable and effective solutions that address your workforce’s commuting challenges.
first steps
When we begin working with an employer, we conduct management interviews and employee surveys for a baseline understanding of commute experiences and interest in mobility options. Our research services are based on best practices with data kept confidential and secure. The results provide important benchmarks and identify opportunities to increase satisfaction with implementation.
Our implementation strategies also build in performance-based evaluations to ensure recommended actions and resource allocations are focused on the outcomes your company needs.
