Help support your employees return to work

Companies are investing significantly to create safe working environments for employees when they return to work. Many recognise that their responsibility extends to the employee commute, and are actively searching for safer travel options.

We seek to support these efforts by offering a solution that encourages active travel for employee commutes.

Reward your walkers and cyclists 

Prior to the pandemic, green travel options have always been good alternatives to traditional transport. Now, with the guidelines to avoid physical contact where possible, walking and cycling are, more than ever, at the forefront of UK Government commuting advice. Active travel is not only environmentally friendly, good for employee health and wellbeing, and cost effective, it is a less-risky alternative to public transport, if you have to travel to work during this time.

Thanks to our unique technology, we can verify active journeys in real-time and empower employers to provide incentives such as gift cards or coffee vouchers, for example.

Journey sharing with KINTO Join: A public transport alternative for your employees 

In situations when walking, cycling and driving are not viable travel options for your employees, the next best thing is carpooling in private communities.

Advantages of car sharing during Covid-19 outbreak:

1. Reducing the number of contacts
2. Travelling with people you already work with
3. Controlling your travel environment

With KINTO Join, you can set up such a community in minutes. By providing a safe and secure carpooling environment for your employees, you reduce the number of employees using public transport, thus minimising the risk of your employees catching and spreading the virus in the workplace.

The new normal: Should everyone be driving to work alone?

We’ve all witnessed positive impacts that lockdown has had on the environment, including air pollution dropping to record levels in cities. However, with lockdowns easing across the globe, the positive impacts have already begun to dissipate. Some experts even fear that the world risks a future with more traffic, more pollution, and climate change that worsens faster than ever.

To prevent this kind of post-lockdown future, we should all be acting responsibly. Staying safe and stopping the spread of the pandemic is a priority, but doing so while keeping the environmental effects of lockdown going is a real challenge that we should all rise up to, together.

Incentivised journey sharing: Reward employee solidarity 

Invariably, there are employee communities where everybody does not have a car. Therefore, it is even more important for drivers to support colleagues who do not have alternatives to public transport.

It has been proven that in every workplace community there will be champions willing to volunteer to make a difference, whether that be to share commuter journeys to work to reduce environmental impact or to provide assistance in a time of need.

KINTO Join makes it easy to team up and protect your workplace community. Thanks to our matching technology, employees who drive can easily find and offer lifts to those who don’t, thus protecting themselves and the entire workplace community. But that’s not all. We can also verify all shared journeys in real time, allowing you to reward the support given to colleagues and displays of solidarity.

Choose your own rewards

You choose the type of reward to offer to drivers who pick up their colleagues. Depending on your company culture, incentives may be: priority parking spots, expense reimbursements for each shared journey, gift cards, coffee tokens, cash prizes, public appraisals or extra time off.
