An increasing number of businesses are following suit with the United States federal government and requesting their employees to return to the office full-time. Major companies like Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and Dell have issued return-to-office (RTO) mandates this year.
But how do you excite employees to return to the office? One solution is to increase employee amenities, such as electric vehicle charging. Here's what you need to know about how workplace EV charging can support your RTO.
Why Add EV Charging as a Workplace Amenity?
There are numerous good reasons to install EV charging infrastructure at your workplace that benefit both your employees and your brand.
EV Charging as an Employee Benefit
Installing EV charging stations at the workplace provides benefits for employees who drive EVs, especially if companies offer free or discounted EV charging as an employee benefit. As more employees opt for electric cars, they will need a place to charge their vehicles during the workday, especially if they lack access to home charging. Having EV charging stations at work gives them more reason to visit the office, apply for a job at your company, or even ignore a job offer from a competitor.
As more companies adopt RTO mandates, human resources and facilities managers must find ways to encourage compliance. Providing EV charging to a workforce that is increasingly reliant on EVs for transportation is one way to prove to your employees that your company is thinking of their needs.
EV Charging Supports Parking Revenue
Some workplaces open their EV charging stations up to the public during non-work hours to introduce a new revenue source and support the local community. With Blink Charging, your public charging stations can appear in EV charging locators such as PlugShare, Google Maps, and the Blink Charging Mobile App.
