Descriptions of Workshops
Webinar: Introduction to Sustainable Mobility Implementation and Management in Businesses
Date: 11 October 2023, at 9:00 AM
Duration: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Companies and other institutions are important stakeholders in the planning and management of efficient urban transportation, as well as in promoting sustainable mobility. The introductory lecture will address tools that effectively and successfully address mobility within companies and institutions while also promoting cycling, the use of public transport, and more efficient car use, resulting in significant cost savings. The lecture will provide a detailed presentation of a mobility plan for institutions as a strategic document for assessing the current situation, establishing a vision, and outlining a set of sustainable mobility measures aimed at changing the commuting habits of employees.
Webinar: Parking Management and Optimized Car Use
Date: 25 October 2023, at 9:00 AM
Duration: 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM
Due to the frequent shortage of parking spaces compared to the number of cars, managing parking or parking lots is one of the key measures for changing the commuting habits of employees. In addition to promoting sustainable personal car use, companies can address cost reduction in the maintenance of parking lots, facilities, and surroundings through parking management measures. The lecture will present various measures related to parking management, comprehensive approaches to optimized car use, and innovative solutions in the field of sustainable employee mobility.
Webinar: Business Mobility Management: Benefits for Employees, the Environment, and Business
Date: 8 November 2023, at 9:00 AM
Duration: 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM
Sustainable mobility enables companies and employees to make more efficient use of working hours while reducing costs and environmental impact. By adopting sustainable mobility policies, companies can significantly reduce emissions, optimize traffic flows, and improve the lives of employees and city residents. The lecture will present various methods and challenges of managing business mobility, addressing the promotion of cultural changes within companies and the benefits for employees, the environment, business operations, and the transition of each company to carbon neutrality.
Webinar: Health Aspects of Employee Mobility
Date: 22 November 2023, at 9:00 AM
Duration: 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM
By promoting active commuting to work and raising awareness about the harmful effects of a sedentary lifestyle, we can significantly contribute to the overall health of employees. Active commuting to work (walking, cycling) reduces average annual sick leave and increases overall employee satisfaction. The lecture will present current findings on the impact of sustainable mobility on employee health and effective approaches to promoting health in companies and institutions.
