With gas prices continuing to be high, it is making commuting to work a big concern for employees.

Here are some ways to help your employees feel like they haven’t been hit so hard.

• Offer more flexible work schedules. For example, many companies are allowing their employees to work for 10 hours a day, 4 days a week.

• If your operations allow, offer telecommuting. This will also save your company a little on utilities.  

• Help organize carpools and vanpools. Get employees excited by illustrating the money they could save throughout the year.

• Offer public transportation discounts.

• Reward your employee’s performance with a gas card.

By creating these benefits for employees you will help ease the burden of rising gas prices.
