How does your employer reward you for improving air quality?

As a creative communications firm in Salt Lake City, Penna Powers Brian Haynes is encouraging all of its employees to put their creative talent to use by practicing alternative means of transportation during the Clear the Air Challenge. PPBH supports its employees as they participate by providing them with resources and services that will make the Challenge easier and more rewarding.

During the Challenge, PPBH is reimbursing UTA passes for employees who use public transit at least 3 days per week. To promote active transportation, the company is initiating a bike-sharing program, providing indoor bike parking and offering amenities baskets for employees to “freshen-up” after biking or walking to work. PPBH is also providing its employees with a carpooling map, which shows each employee’s residence and the proximity of co-workers with whom they can carpool.

PPBH employees also have the option of teleworking during the Challenge. By using web-based Adobe Acrobat Connect on its computers, the firm now provides for online client meetings, which save client and agency time while helping clear the air.

As lunchtime often means increased travel for employees, PPBH is subsidizing a catered lunch once a week during the Challenge. The agency is also initiating a daily lunch delivery program, providing a list of nearby restaurants within walking distance and asking local restaurants to provide a discount to PPBH employees during the Challenge.

With all of these services and benefits, it’s almost easier for employees to participate than not to participate. PPBH is a committed supporter of the Clear the Air Challenge and motivates us all to modify our travel behaviors to keep the air clean in Utah. Whether you’re an employee or an employer, find out what your business is doing or can do to help improve air quality.
