E-bikes to help create 'stress-free' workforce

Wellbeing promoted at local insurance group

Staff at a Douglas-based insurance group could reap the health benefits of a new partnership with a local cycling hub.

Zurich International has teamed up with Cycle 360 to give workers access to ten e-bikes.

The bikes will be used for team building exercises, and employees will also have the chance to take them for a spin during lunch breaks.

Zurich Chief Executive Officer Peter Huber says the initiative aims to promote a 'happy, healthy and stress-free workforce' in the long-term.

Currently operating as a 'pop-up' bike shop in Eden Business Park, Cycle 360 is preparing to relocate to a permanent site opposite Zurich House at the Isle of Man Business Park.
