Did you know…

• Genesys Ireland has been certified as a European Cycle Friendly Employer?
• Many companies across Europe are being recognized as Cycle-Friendly Employers. This certification program ensures workplaces support employees who choose to cycle to work.
• Cycling to work is good for the environment, your health, and can even save you money on transportation costs.

Why is it important that employers become cycle friendly?

• Cycling is a healthy activity, leading to fitter, happier employees. Studies show reduced sick days and improved overall health in employees who cycle to work.
• By encouraging cycling, employers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. This combats climate change and promotes a greener company image.
• Less reliance on car parking translates to lower costs for employers. Additionally, employees save money on commuting expenses.

What can I do to help support cycle friendly employers?

• At your own work, talk to colleagues and managers about cycling to work. Gauge their openness to the idea.
• Look into resources like Cycle Friendly Employer programs or cycling advocacy groups in your area. Present information on the benefits for both employees and the company.
• Many companies display certifications or logos. Give them your patronage and mention their cycling initiatives in positive reviews.
