“The Electric Car Scheme was a great way to hit our sustainability goals whilst also helping to make the team feel more rewarded”
- Lydia Harvey-Jones, People & Culture Manager
Lydia Harvey-Jones, People and Culture Manager at SmartCo explains what it was like to implement The Electric Car Scheme at the company.
“When looking for an employee benefit to implement at SmartCo, I wanted something that I knew my colleagues would use. We were also looking to improve our sustainability as a company to help hit our Environmental, Social, and Governance goals. We know that more people want to do their bit for the environment but the upfront costs are too high, which is why The Electric Car Scheme was a great way to hit our sustainability goals whilst also helping to make the team feel more rewarded.
I found the process of setting up the scheme easy - it actually wasn’t as complicated as I first assumed! The Electric Car Scheme team were on hand to help throughout the process. The one thing I thought was going to be the most difficult was the reporting every month, but it actually ended up being easy to keep our HR, Tax, and Financial affairs on track. The Electric Car Scheme helps with payroll, HMRC, and climate reporting, which helped us with compliance and minimized hassle!
The main selling point was the fact that there were no setup or running costs for The Electric Car Scheme because their fee is equivalent to the employer's tax savings - this meant we could roll out the scheme at no cost to the business, which was a huge plus!”
