Workplace Travel Plans

Workplace Travel Plans are primarily implemented to address and change the commuting habits of employees and they can be either a planning requirement or implemented voluntarily. Workplace Travel Plans can contribute towards sustainability accreditations, such as BREEAM, as well as setting yourself ahead of other employers.

Each and every Workplace Travel Plan should be unique as there are many variables which need to be taken into consideration, this includes;

• Nature and industry of the organisation;
• Organisational culture and company policies;
• Location of your business(es);
• Where your employees reside;
• How well served the workplace is by public transport links;
• Requirements for business travel; and
• Any issues with current transport options and employee commuter habits.
