AMCON develops JobCard for GVH
Small and medium-sized businesses too: With the new GVH JobCard, a relaxed and affordable commute to work
Since 1992, larger companies have been able to offer their employees discounted use of trains and buses within the Großraum-Verkehrs Hannover (GVH) area through the GVH FirmenAbo (company subscription). Currently, more than 200 companies and around 44,000 employees benefit from the FirmenAbo or SammelBestellerAbo (group buyer subscription) of the GVH. With the FirmenAbo model, the subscription is concluded for all employees of a company, with discounts depending on the location of up to 72% per individual employee. In contrast, the SammelBestellerAbo does not require all employees of a company to participate, but the savings here are limited to up to 24%.
The successful GVH model is now being expanded with the JobCard, specifically aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (under 50 employees). The JobCard can be ordered starting from ten subscriptions. If small companies do not reach this number, they can cooperate with other small companies. The JobCard also offers savings of up to 24%. Employers not only benefit from tax advantages but also make a valuable contribution to climate protection. “The JobCard is an excellent instrument to make the Hannover region an even more attractive business location,” said Ulf-Birger Franz, Head of the Department for Economy, Transport, and Education of the Hannover Region. “Companies save on expensive parking spaces for cars, among other things, when they participate in this model.”
Thanks to a cooperation between GVH and AGA Norddeutscher Unternehmensverband Großhandel, Außenhandel, Dienstleistung (North German Association for Wholesale, Foreign Trade, and Services), the JobCard has become possible in Hannover. The AGA Association has been successfully using AMCON’s “ProfiCard” solution model for years and now advises the GVH. Based on the successful Hamburg model, AMCON has now developed the JobCard. “Thanks to the good cooperation with AGA, we succeeded in closing a gap in the GVH offering with the JobCard. We offer small and medium-sized companies in the GVH area a low-threshold product,” summarizes Ulf Mattern, Managing Director of GVH. Currently, interested companies are still being advised and supported by the JobCard team of AGA Service GmbH.
