It wasn’t too long ago when it was common that households shared one vehicle. Nowadays, this is not the case. Most households in America have 2 or more cars and it’s rather common that each member of a household has their own car.
WHILE THERE ARE PLENTY OF ADVANTAGES TO OWNING YOUR OWN VEHICLE, ONE THING ALL CAR OWNERS CAN AGREE ON IS HOW STRESSFUL THE MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK CAN BE WHEN THERE ISN’T ENOUGH PARKING.
Across North America, it was typically standard for employers to have allocated parking for its employees. However, with the influx of vehicles on the road and a preference to drive into the office, there simply isn’t enough parking to go around.
Imagine your company has 500 employees, but only 250 parking spaces allocated within your lease agreement. Parking becomes an amenity that is provided on a first come first serve system, whereby those not in the first 250 parkers experience the stress of not being able to make it to work on time. Additionally the lack of parking can put great stress on the office/property manager with increased complaints about being late to work, having to pay for parking, and getting parking tickets.
People want to be able to settle in nicely and arrive at work with a good attitude so they can take on their day. However, if you’re 15 minutes late because you had to walk an extra half-mile after finally finding a parking spot, odds are that you won’t be so happy. It’s safe to assume that the lack of parking is a lose-lose situation; employees are unhappy and management has to deal with unhappy employees.
While working from home can solve these issues, not everyone’s role allows them that flexibility, and in many cases homes are unsuitable work environments. With a hybrid work-model being embraced by many companies, setting up a rotating schedule of when certain employees come in would ensure the best use of the available parking spaces. Take our previous example – if there are 500 employees and 250 parking spaces, you can stagger the workforce attendance schedule so that 250 come in on Monday and Tuesday while the other 250 come in on Wednesday and Thursday!
