Inflation Proof your Vehicle Program
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
We’re all feeling the weight of the economic crisis. According to Pew Research, inflation hit a 30-year high at the end of 2021 with a 6.2% rate. From groceries to fuel, consumers are paying more for pretty much everything and getting less in return.
This is specially true for employees who drive for work: gas prices are subject to rapid volatility, and new vehicle costs and residual values are in a sustained period of elevation. If your car allowance amount does not match the increasing inflation, your drivers are likely paying for business expenses out of pocket. Or deciding not to drive at all.
So, while inflation and a future recession may be unavoidable, how can you proactively protect your bottom line in 2022 while retaining top employees? By building a competitive, non-taxable vehicle program.
Adopting a vehicle program that adjusts to cost factors in real time can protect your company from inflation and recession by:
- Reducing the impact of volatile cost factors
- Keeping costs accurate
- Reducing capital outlay
- Reducing tax waste
- Providing a fair employee experience
- Improving employee satisfaction
Watch this virtual discussion to learn how to shield your vehicle program from inflation in 2022.
Make positive adjustments to your vehicle program, protect your bottom line, and reveal areas where your business could be more profitable.
