      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p> The more I read about the link between healthy workers and productivity, job satisfaction, reduced turnover and fewer sick days, the more I wonder why more companies don&#39;t offer more incentives and encouragement to employees to commute by bike. It seems to me the perfect solution. Sure commuting by bike has numerous positive effects on the environment, but even more selfishly, commuting by bike 2-3 days per week can provide most people with all the exercise they need on a regular basis - without making extra time to join a gym, signup for classes, arrange daycare, and shower with strangers.</p> <p>As a business owner, I can tell you that healthy workers are happier, more dedicated to their jobs, better with customers, and have fewer sick days. In fact, in 4 years we have been in business, we have never had an employee quit, we have never had an employee out for more than 2 consecutive days due to illness, and we have high ratings for customer satisfaction because we enjoy what we do and this shows in our interaction with our customers.</p> <p>At Dynamic, every employee gets a new bike every year. Sure this is easy for us as a bike company. But the cost is easy to justify even if it weren&#39;t our business. For many comanies who offer perks to employees, bikes are cheaper than health club memberships, cheaper than car allowances, and cheaper than many parking spots.</p><br/><div style="clear:both"></div><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting">bike commuting</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bike commuting"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling">bicycling</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bicycling"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/healthy workers">healthy workers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/healthy workers"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/healthy workers.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/worker productivity">worker productivity</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/worker productivity"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/worker productivity.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>
