Company relocation can often mean longer commutes for your employees, which can result in higher levels of employee stress, lower levels of productivity, and loss of employees. To help reduce these negative impacts of relocation, Arlington Transportation Partners (ATP) analyzes your company's relocation issues and provides recommendations for solving the commuting impacts. Ways in which ATP provides relocation assistance include:
- Determining commuting distance through employee surveying
- Identifying commuting options to help make longer commutes easier
- Designing commuting incentives
- Recommending transit options
- Helping to implement a shuttle program
PricewaterhouseCoopers relocated one of their offices and lost several employees as a result of the longer commutes. In an effort to prevent further relocation attrition, they turned to ATP for help with designing commuter benefits to ease the stress of long commutes.
- "We probably saved 20 to 30 people who stayed with us because of Metrochek. It's a highly visible, low-cost benefit."
"When we relocated we lost several employees who didn't want to deal with the longer commute."
"Offering Metrochek and a shuttle to connect with Metrorail were critical."
"In the eyes of management it's an important element in what we do, how we care about our workforce."
"In the grand scheme of things it's a modest amount of money compared to the value."
