Once employers Join RideFinders, they discover that their
participation in this free rideshare program as an Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC)
not only improves the quality of life for their employees and the St. Louis region –
it also improves their quality of work.
Driving Employees to Rideshare
RideFinders provides ETCs with information on the free
Ridematching Service to help their employees find other
commuters to rideshare with to work in a carpool
or vanpool. ETCs' participation also enables RideFinders to offer free, exclusive
incentives to encourage their employees to rideshare. Fueled by this information and
incentives, employees are driven to rideshare and receive a number of
benefits that improve their quality of life and the region’s.
Improving the Quality of Work
In return for helping their employees rideshare, RideFinders’ over 1,400 participating
employers not only improve the quality of life for their employees and the region,
they also improve their quality of work with these bottom line benefits.
Improve Employee Productivity
Employees enjoy a more affordable, relaxing and perhaps reliable workday commute
through ridesharing, and arrive at work focused instead of frustrated.
Increase Employee Retention
High gas prices or an employer’s relocation within the region can increase commuting
costs and stress for employees, who may leave for jobs with better commutes. Ridesharing
offsets higher commuting costs and stress — increasing employee retention for
participating employers.
Boost Employee Recruitment
Promoting ridesharing to prospective employees can alleviate their concerns about the
costs and stress of their potential new commute. Enhanced recruiting combined with
increased retention enables participating employers to lower their recruiting costs.
Enhance Corporate Image
Voluntarily participating in RideFinders enables employers to demonstrate their commitment
to improving the quality of life and work in the region, which enhances their corporate
image with existing and prospective employees — boosting retention, recruitment and
their bottom lines.
