I work for a very large global company with over 15,000 employee worldwide. My Company does offer a fantastic range of benefits in cluding the childcare vouchers, discounts on high street shops, interest free train ticket loans (mine would cost over £1,200 per year which would be equally as hard/easy to recover the outstanding balance if I left before the 12 months were up), advice on financial or home problems through a 3rd party company at no cost to me and all the free training I want (within reason). I have tried to argue that I have cycled to work for over 15 years and have had only 1 accident which prevented me from being on time (bendy bus overtaking me and cutting into a bus stop). I'm happy to continue buying my own breakfast and have always insured my road bikes for both the value of the bike and 3rd party.
I had a director put forward my case and still was told sorry, but no.
My wife's company will offer her a season ticket loan and up to £500 in halfords vouchers as well. She doesn't even have to ride it to work. They won't let her get a bike for me, though.
I get all your benefits and a cycle2work scheme as well. There must be a way that you can ask them to add this benefit, do you have a staff consulting committee that you could speak to?
