Discover how gamification transforms commuting into an engaging experience. From carbon tracking to team challenges, Fleet’s platform boosts sustainability, employee satisfaction, and workplace culture.
Commuting has long been a source of groans and grumbles for employees. And with return-to-office plans rolling out, the challenge for HR leaders is clear: how do you make the daily commute something employees actually look forward to? Here's a hint—it’s not just about saving them a few extra bucks.
Traditional commuter benefits focus on financial incentives, like pre-tax savings. Useful? Sure. But they often overlook the real hurdles—like the stress, disorganization, and negative feelings that the idea of commuting stirs up.
A Gartner study found that a whopping 76% of employees feel drained by their commutes. For organizations trying to foster workplace satisfaction, ignoring this leaves a vacuum in the employee experience—especially during workplace transitions or when employees are adjusting to new routines.
Enter Fleet’s gamification-centered approach—a game-changer (pun totally intended) for commuting programs.
Fleet takes the “necessary evil” of commuting and flips it on its head, making it feel more like a game than a grind. Here’s how we do it, with platform-powered features that don’t just improve commutes but make them engaging and even enjoyable.
This isn’t just about making your employees smile (though that’s definitely part of it). Gamification enhances company culture, aligns with sustainability goals, and fosters positive work relationships. Better yet, these experiences help embed commuting into the fabric of workplace engagement—right alongside all-hands meetings and happy hours.
Fleet’s approach isn’t just fun—it’s rooted in behavioral science. Here are five powerful strategies we use to drive lasting changes in commuting habits.
This isn’t gamification for gamification's sake—it’s science-backed, outcome-driven change that feels accessible and rewarding.
Take SFMTA as a case study. When they implemented Fleet’s platform, the results were nothing short of spectacular.
Think of the above as tangible proof of what’s possible when modern tools and smart incentives reshape commuting behavior. SFMTA saw remarkable benefits both for their sustainability efforts and their employees’ happiness—all while navigating workplace transitions with ease.
One of Fleet’s surprising perks? Our gamified commuting features often end up as icebreakers and conversation starters between employees.
Team challenges and competitions kick-start interactions across departments, helping employees build connections beyond their usual circles. Turns out, stronger cross-functional relationships can begin on the sidewalk, bike path, or bus ride—long before the office elevators get involved. And this isn’t just a nice-to-have. For companies navigating shift changes, remote work adjustments, or brand-new hybrid models, these social perks make coming into the office feel like a team-bonding exercise.
Gamification isn’t a gimmick—it’s the secret ingredient to a commuter program that employees love to use. With Fleet’s platform, your workplace gets a real strategy for making sustainable commuting the easy and enjoyable choice.
