One of the biggest challenges businesses face is ensuring employees arrive at work safely and on time while navigating gridlocked traffic, unreliable public transit and hazardous road conditions.
In major African cities like Lagos, Nairobi, Kampala and Accra, many residents rely heavily on public buses, motorcycle taxis, and personal vehicles as primary modes of transportation. However, these options often fall short of providing hassle-free and safe commutes.
Studies have shown that employees spend an average of 20% of their salary and 2 hours of their day commuting, leading to increased lateness, stress and exhaustion after battling congestion and chaos just to get to their desks.
Businesses are left to grapple with the ripple effects including late arrivals, absenteeism, low productivity and a workforce struggling with the mental and physical toll of gruelling commutes—directly impacting the bottom line.
In light of these alarming statistics, companies are beginning to recognize the need for a solution, explaining the recent boom in employee transportation services across Africa over the past few years.
What exactly is the term Employee Transportation?
In case you haven’t heard of it, employee transportation simply refers to the service companies provide to shuttle their employees to and from work. This can include options such as carpooling, company buses or renting shuttle buses from third parties. The goal is to ensure employees have affordable, convenient and reliable transportation to their workplaces.
Employee transportation services are gaining popularity as an attractive staff benefit for attracting and retaining talent in Africa and globally. However, companies gearing up to offer these solutions often face concerns over managing routes, schedules, and costs. This is where partnering with a reliable third-party employee transportation service provider like Treepz can prove highly beneficial.
