The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful cycling regions in Germany – more than 200 km of signposted mountain biking trails stretch between Karlsruhe and Basel. The Herbolzheim site is therefore now supporting active cycling for employees at WECUBEX Systemtechnik GmbH. Through a cooperation with bicycle leasing provider JobRad, employees can now benefit from discounted conditions.
“I personally love cycling in my free time. The landscape here in Herbolzheim in Baden is simply made for it. So it is a pleasure to support our employees in doing the same,” says Managing Director Christian Graeve about the new cooperation. The high level of interest at the launch event on 9 November at 5 pm showed just how eagerly employees had been awaiting this partnership. On that Friday afternoon, around 50 interested employees attended to find out about the terms and conditions and the leasing process. Representatives from JobRad presented their portal and answered participants’ questions in small groups and one-to-one discussions. At the same time, the main supplier Fahrrad Fischer introduced itself. The bicycle shop from Kenzingen brought ten e-bikes to the WECUBEX factory premises, allowing employees to test different models directly on site.
After all questions had been answered, the highly successful launch event came to an end at around 6.30 pm. In the following days, the first employees immediately ordered new bicycles. This also showed WECUBEX as an employer that the partnership was met with great acceptance among the workforce. Cycling enthusiasts can now order their bicycle in five steps: they simply need to create a user account with JobRad, select their desired bicycle, and JobRad will place the order. The final step is simply: get cycling!
WECUBEX is gradually developing its benefits programme further in order to remain an attractive employer in the future. And with its impressive landscape, the Black Forest offers the perfect conditions for numerous cycling trips – whether to work or in their free time.
