because it's often the only wayto attract talent.

7

That can also be seen from the figures.

70% of companies have difficulties attracting good

staff if they don't offer a company car.

8

What's more...

21% already have to deal with the loss of promising job

applicants because of the company’s poor accessibility.

9

1 out of 2 thinks they can't offer

sufficient parking

10

And employees?

46% say that traffic congestion impairs their easy access

to their workplace.

In Brussels this figure reaches 75%.

46% 75%

11

Even worse...

65% find that their employers take too few initiatives

to improve mobility through teleworking, carpooling,

satellite offices, etc.

An employee will not

just forget about the company car, in

spite of the traffic jams and traffic

problems.

Result

More

efficient

mobility

Your employee

will downsize

his/her company

car and/or

choose not to

use it as often

You don't need

so many

parking spaces

These companies prove that it works, in collaboration with

their employees

Exception

If your employee opts for

a company car within his/her

mobility budget

Only the car is

considered as a

taxable benefit in

kind, according to

the present rules

If the employee transfers

part of his/her car budget

to the mobility budget (by

choosing a more

environmentally-friendly

car), the taxable benefit

goes down
