Mazda Offers Bonus If
Employees Walk to Office
from AP Wire Report

TOKYO - Japanese automaker Mazda Motor
Corp. is recommending its employees walk to
the office, rather than commute by car, as part
of an effort to improve their health and protect
the environment, a company spokesman said Friday.

Those meeting a set of requirements by going to
the office on foot are eligible to receive 1,500 yen
($12) a month, Mazda spokesman Ken Haruki said.

Aimed at improving employees' health and to
promote environment protection, Mazda
introduced its "Eco-walk commutation allowance"
on Thursday, Hakuki said.

Mazda, Japan's fourth-largest automaker based in
Hiroshima, is the first Japanese car company to
encourage its employees to walk and offer a
monetary incentive, he said.

Yamaha Motor Co., a major Japanese motorcycle
maker, introduced a similar eco-walk commutation
system for its employees a year ago.

Positive News suggest that every employer
look into developing a plan like this it's
good for everyone!
