In a move that aims to provide significant savings for commuting employees, The State of Illinois is mandating a law that requires certain employers to offer pre-tax commuter benefits to their full-time workforce in order to mitigate transit expenses and encourage energy efficient travel. This bold legislative step is poised to reshape the way companies in the Windy City approach employee perks and taxation, fostering a more sustainable and cost-effective commuting ecosystem.

The Rising Influence of Employee Benefit Brokers to Support Growth

Keep my body strong and save money? Yes, please. Did you know Edenred can help you access bikeshare programs, or even take your own bike to work?

Buckle up as we gear towards a new era in the future of transportation! This is an exciting moment, particularly for HR folks and people strategists who need to bring some innovation to the table.
Here’s what’s happening! 

I get it — you don’t actually need to offer a commuter benefits plan for employees. You just want some ideas to boost employee engagement or differentiate your employer brand. 

It’s playing out everywhere these days: a team starts looking at its HR OKRs and realizes retention-focused KPIs are on a slow trek south. And so the scramble to get numbers up before end-of-year (EOY) begins.

Creating a sustainable lifestyle is a simple choice, but it has challenges. For example, committing to recycling at home is an easy enough task. However, switching up your commute to work to help decrease the emission of CO2 can be more challenging to stick to.

Have you ever considered what your benefits are saying about your employer brand? Is it: “We’re innovative, experience-focused, and fun,” or “We love nature and the environment but occasionally have to work too”? Maybe “We’re driven by our moral compass to leave the world a better place,” or “We’re a group that celebrates each other as individuals”? 

While they might not be the most glamorous topics, driving and parking are two activities that most of us do every day.

Are your employees starting the day stressed, tired, and disgruntled because of their commutes? This doesn’t have to be your company’s reality. Edenred Commuter Benefits Plans can solve your employees’ commuting problems and be a catalyst for improving your company’s efficiency and reputation.
