Flexible employment relationships seem to be the norm in the logistics sector. Bikeshift has made a conscious decision to take a different approach. As a logistics service provider, we work exclusively with employees who have an employment contract. We believe that good employment practices are not only good for our employees, but also for our clients.
Many delivery services and transport companies operate with a large flexible workforce. Freelancers are often used for this purpose. In our sector, this flexibility mainly offers advantages for companies. The rates for freelancers are not excessively high. Moreover, this means that they are not always guaranteed assignments and a fixed income. In contrast to the uncertainty that self-employed workers often experience - such as fluctuating income, no sick pay, and personal responsibility for pension accrual - Bikeshift employees enjoy full protection under labor law.
For Bikeshift, permanent employment is not just a form of contract, but an expression of our corporate philosophy. We invest in permanent employees and, in doing so, we invest as a company in quality, commitment, and continuity. Employees are given the opportunity to develop and grow at Bikeshift. In doing so, they contribute to our innovation. This approach ensures a stable team that embodies the values of Bikeshift and consistently delivers high-quality service. Customers notice the difference in the reliability and quality of our staff's work. We can invest specifically in training and development, enabling employees to grow with new technologies and changing market conditions. This long-term vision on personnel policy contributes to a sustainable labor market in the logistics sector. It is not just about quick wins, but more about quality, reliability, and employee satisfaction.
While many logistics companies opt for self-employed constructions, Bikeshift proves that an alternative model with permanent staff is possible. Staff are not employed by the client, but by Bikeshift. With this principle, we not only create security for employees and clients, but also a sustainable business model that is ready for the logistics challenges of tomorrow.
