Take a morning to make an informed decision
A company car is a significant, emotive benefit in kind for key employees, so getting it right is not only
important from a financial point of view, but also for corporate morale.
This Company Car Seminar will highlight the options; the changes; ways to make cost savings and give
you a real insight into helping your company make the right decisions for the fleet going forward.

A Four Part Process
The design and introduction of a Car Allowance Scheme should be handled in a logical process and must be managed from start to finish.

	Undertake financial analysis of the current fleet and drivers; evaluate options and fleet savings for the company. Typical fleet savings average more than £10,000 per car, over 3 years.
	Discuss the findings and design a policy which determines the way forward and a fleet strategy to achieve potential savings. Agree rules and procedures across employee groups including parameters for “safe and healthy” motoring.
	Launch the changes: Employee communications drafted Employee briefing Driver consultation and support
	Implementation: Fleet disposal / reconfiguration Transfer to new scheme Phasing between schemes
