Facilities & provisions for walkers
Facilities for walkers can also encourage people to cycle and use public transport more and make your site a more attractive place to work for all staff.
Cloakrooms
Consider the provision of cloakroom facilities with storage lockers and places to hang clothes up to dry and to dry hair.
Umbrellas
Consider the provision of umbrellas bearing the company logo for all staff who walk to work. Alternatively, there could be a pool of umbrellas made available in your reception area for staff members wishing to walk to a nearby meeting or go walking at lunchtime.
Pedometers
Issuing pedometers to staff can help them see how much extra walking they are doing as they switch from other methods of travel.
Personal alarms
For staff who may have concerns with issues of personal security, consider making personal alarms available.
Convenient on-site facilities
On larger sites, consider bringing facilities (such as a hairdresser or dry-cleaners) on-site to reduce the need for people to drive into town at lunchtime.
