Many companies are placing an ever greater emphasis on employee motivation and health. The company car is increasingly losing its importance and many employees want to live in an ecological and healthy way. Since 2012, the concept Job-Rad (job bike) has offered companies and their employees the opportunity of a salary conversion for bicycles, which was previously only possible for company cars.

A current study shows that employees want that their employers to promote bicycles. By participating in the Job-Rad initiative, employees have the opportunity to obtain their individual, desired bicycle easily and simply through their employer incl. tax advantages. Apart from using a bike, this is obviously also good for the environment, as riding a bike is CO2-neutral. Bikes also save resources and need less parking space than a car and the strain on road surfaces is greatly reduced because a bike weighs less.

Moreover, traffic is freed up and  quality of life in cities and communities is improved. Another advantage is that bikes are much cheaper to buy, to insure or to run than cars.

The Job-Rad concept is exactly right for the TWE Group, as we attach huge importance to our employees' health. 

Since starting the project at the Emsdetten, Dierdorf, Bocholt and Creuzburg sites, 170 colleagues have already acquired a new bicycle through this initiative.
