An effective benefit in the era of back to the office? Find out with Parkiza!

The modern, post-pandemic worker values comfort and convenience. And these are expectations that don't necessarily resonate with the increasing return to the office, or the shift to a hybrid work model. That's why access to office parking has become so important. But how do you guarantee a parking space for everyone when there are a limited number of them? This is where Parkiza - a phone app and parking management panel - comes to the rescue. It allows every employee to have an equal chance for a spot, and provides invaluable support for office scheduling. And that's without a burden on the company, as Parkiza comes with a free plan.

Izabela Marciszak, Product Manager at Parkiza.com emphasizes: "Access to parking is a priority for many employees. We hear from HR representatives who use Parkiza that the topic of this benefit is usually the most interesting part of the conversation for candidates. After all, Parkiza is also such a bargaining chip in the recruitment process."
 

What benefits await employees?
 

Reserving parking spaces, if available to regular employees, can usually be a challenge. With Parkiza, instead of signing up by email, calendar, or "word of mouth," a convenient app awaits employees, which they always have with them. However, Parkiza is not just about booking parking spaces. It's comfort and reassurance. Instead of the stress of searching for a spot, an employee uses the intuitive app and reserves a spot for himself in advance. He can also share and manage it while the reservation is in progress. And if the company asks to integrate Parkiza with other systems, the app can even be used to open gates or barriers.

"Employees don't have to circulate around the parking lot, arrive at the office in uncertainty and can plan their visit in peace. Most of the stress of getting to the office disappears. And the company gains a solid argument when persuading the team to opt out of working completely remotely." - Iza adds.

What does Parkiza offer companies and HR departments?

Companies set the reservation rules themselves. Parkiza allows you to manage groups of employees (even in parking lots in different buildings!) or assign fixed or flexible parking spaces. Integrations even allow for license plate recognition. "Once configured, the parking lot virtually manages itself, which is a considerable time saver for the company" - Iza adds. With the data, you can analyze the use of spaces and perhaps decide to give up a few unnecessary ones. "One of our clients gave up leasing as many as 10% of parking spaces, and employees didn't feel the difference. It's just that the spaces that were left were better utilized, thanks to Parkiza."

The platform offers a free plan with many functionalities, and a slightly more extensive Professional plan, making it accessible to companies with different budgets. You can read more about the functionalities at Parkiza.com.
