The world of employee benefits is rapidly evolving. That’s what happens when traditional benefits like paid vacation, insurance and formerly popular work perks don’t...

When it comes to reopening a business or company office, one thing is for sure: a safe opening is definitely on employees’ minds. About 50 percent of the people surveyed by Weber Shandwick and KRC Research were concerned they’d be asked to go back before it’s safe.

A new year means new opportunities in every area of our lives. For many people, 2021 will be the year to shore up finances, save some money and make investments that will pay off down the road.
But to get to a place of financial freedom, you need money first. Here’s a look at three ways you can save more money in 2021.

For many reasons, micromobility’s popularity is taking off. Using e-bikes and scooters makes sense for the environment. They help people find another way to commute rather than a car or a train. And micromobility was in the right place at the right time during the pandemic.  

If there was a winner in 2020, it was the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions plummeted by more than 2 billion tons in 2020. That’s an incredible 7 percent reduction from 2019, the largest reduction ever.

The IRS released the 2021 pre-tax limits for mass transit and qualified parking. The limits are effective on January 1, 2021.
For 2021, the monthly limit for commuter benefits will be $270. That’s the same amount as 2020.
Pre-tax commuter benefits can be used to pay for:

The term “last mile” may bring to your mind the supply-chain management of any e-commerce company. This usually talks about proven ways used to handle logistics.
However, whether it is goods or people that move, transportation poses specific concerns, which are known as first and last mile challenges.
For example, let’s look at public transit systems used to reach your office place and return home. The first and last mile here represents the distance you cover between the transit stop and your final (office) destination.
