Here’s a short insight into the webinar

Our webinar featuring David Nasseri, Workplace Service Manager at Google, discussed Google’s innovative employee mobility solutions in Zürich, Switzerland. As our first corporate client, Google offers e-bikes and e-cars to its employees, promoting multi-modal, low-emission transportation options. The partnership began with e-bikes but expanded to include e-cars. As our first users and constantly providing valuable feedback, they have been a part of our journey from the beginning.

“You need a dedicated partner. You need someone who’s focused on that service and that element, that aspect, say this corporate mobility piece. You need to get that partner in.”

Key aspects of the service include:

• Shared Mobility: Urban Connect offers a range of services for companies, covering everything from maintenance and insurance to branding and communication, allowing clients like Google to focus on core operations.
• Technology Integration: Google employees book bikes and cars via an app, allowing seamless, easy access for both corporate and private use. The system reduces the administrative burden on Google’s internal teams while ensuring employees enjoy a hassle-free experience.
• Sustainability & Innovation: Google’s mobility solutions align with its sustainability goals, avoiding combustion engine vehicles and promoting electric mobility. This approach supports employee convenience and environmental responsibility.

“We really want to incentivize certain behaviors, yes. We don’t want to necessarily dictate what you should do. We want to allow people to decide for themselves”​

Nasseri highlighted the flexibility of the system, which allows employees to use bikes and cars as needed, reducing the necessity of personal car ownership and promoting a more sustainable commute. Google’s focus on the user experience, retention, and sustainability has made their mobility program a model for other companies seeking to improve corporate mobility.

The session highlighted the importance of adapting mobility solutions to meet specific company needs, offering flexibility for employees, and ensuring a smooth and scalable experience.
