Sharesies - Investing in their people with Workride
At Sharesies, long-term thinking sits at the heart of everything they do. Known for making investing more accessible and helping people build wealth over time, Sharesies applies the same mindset internally - creating a workplace that supports people, planet, and purpose.
That commitment is reflected in their B Corp certification and their decision to become a carbon-neutral organisation, reinforcing a belief that businesses can be a force for good. You can read more about their journey and values on their About page and in their announcement on becoming carbon neutral.
When it came to employee benefits, Sharesies were looking for initiatives that aligned with those principles; practical, inclusive, and genuinely impactful, rather than surface-level perks.
That is where Workride comes in!
Turning values into everyday action
Supporting cycling through Workride offered a simple way to turn those values into action. Workride enables employees to acquire bikes and e-bikes for commuting via a pre-tax salary sacrifice, spreading the cost over 12 months and delivering a meaningful cost offset, while remaining cost-neutral and low-friction for the employer.
For employees, it opens the door to active commuting, better wellbeing, and lower-emissions transport. For the business, it’s a benefit that’s easy to run, widely accessible, and trusted by over 1,500 employers accross Aotearoa.
“Sharesies is a BCorp, so it’s important to us that we can offer our team members environmentally friendly options for their commute. Workride has created a process that is easy to use, and we love that our team get to pay using pre-tax income. The combination of looking after the environment and financially empowering our people? That’s a slam dunk.”
Vic Roper, People Experience Manager, Sharesies
Supporting climate goals beyond the office
As a carbon-neutral organisation Sharesies recognises that everyday decisions - like how people get to work - matter. By enabling cycling, they’re helping staff make lower-emissions choices that align with the company’s broader sustainability commitments, without mandates or complexity.
It’s a practical example of how climate goals can show up in daily life, not just in reporting.
Investing in the future
Sharesies and Workride share a common belief: that small, well-designed choices can compound into meaningful long-term impact. By investing in a benefit that supports people, wellbeing, and the planet, Sharesies is backing a future that works better for everyone.
