Why Offering Uber Gift Cards Is a Smart Holiday Safety Move for Employers

As the holiday season approaches, employee safety and appreciation often top HR priorities — and with good reason. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in December 2023 alone, 1,038 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, making it one of the deadliest times of year for roadway incidents.

One of the most practical and meaningful ways organizations can respond?
By offering Uber gift cards through the Engage2Reward™ Gift Card Ordering Platform to encourage safe transportation during company celebrations, late-night commutes, or holiday events.

A Modern Take on Employee Gifting

Gift cards remain the most desired workplace gift, with 75% of employees hoping to receive one this holiday season and 57% viewing it as a sign of appreciation from their employer.

By choosing an Uber gift card, you’re not only giving employees flexibility but also demonstrating care for their wellbeing. It’s a small gesture that delivers major impact: safety, convenience, and gratitude in one package.

Through the Engage2Reward Platform, employers and program managers can:

• Easily order and distribute Uber gift cards in bulk, individually, or via email delivery.
• Personalize delivery with your company branding or a holiday message.
• Track delivery and budgets with built-in reporting and program management tools.
• Combine Uber cards with other rewards (like restaurant or retail gift cards) for a more complete “holiday outing” package.

Why Safe Transportation Rewards Matter

Beyond showing appreciation, safe transportation incentives protect both people and organizations. Providing a rideshare option minimizes risk and liability after company events, while promoting responsible choices.

Offering Uber gift cards through the Engage2Reward Platform helps you:

• Reinforce a culture of safety and care
• Reduce post-event risks and compliance concerns
• Support ESG goals with lower carbon emissions compared to individual car travel
• Streamline gifting logistics — no shipping, no delays, no risk
