About Lufthansa Innovation Hub

The Lufthansa Innovation Hub (hereinafter LIH) is based in Berlin and is one of the leading innovation centers in the aviation industry. The team works to find solutions that make travel as seamless as possible, thereby improving every single journey around the world.

To live up to this very standard within its own team, LIH sought ways to offer its employees a flexible and sustainable benefit that does exactly that: making professional and personal mobility easier, more convenient, and more enjoyable.‍

LIH’s People & Organization team knows that employee benefits play a crucial role in attracting and retaining top talent. ‍

Always on the lookout for talent who love to travel and are eager to challenge the status quo, the team lacked a suitable employee benefit. So they turned to NAVIT, whose digital mobility solutions are designed to address exactly that need.

Challenges that Lufthansa Innovation Hub has solved

Offer a digital and flexible benefit

A benefit that reflects the guiding principle of "Taking travel to new destinations" and makes employees' professional and private mobility easier, more convenient, and more sustainable.

Attracting and retaining top talent

The People & Organization team knows how important attractive benefits are for attracting and retaining talent. They were clear that a mobility benefit must work for each individual and do more than just get them from A to B.

Minimizing administrative effort

Another decisive factor was choosing a benefit that does not create any additional effort and at the same time makes a measurable contribution to sustainability goals.

The LIH team consists of people who are passionate about travel. What was missing, however, was a corporate benefit that perfectly reflects the guiding principle “Taking travel to new destinations” and meets the needs of the young and dynamic team.

For pioneers working on the future of travel, a benefit is needed that makes traveling easier and more convenient. It was clear to them that a mobility benefit must do more than just get people from A to B. After all, LIH wants to make every single journey in the world better.

Thanks to the straightforward processes, which made it easy for the HR team to integrate the benefit seamlessly into their own systems, the benefit was quickly ready to go and was well received by the staff.

With NAVIT’s help, LIH was able to offer its staff a range of sustainable mobility options, including a flexible mobility budget, bike leasing and a job ticket for local public transport. NAVIT also provided an easy-to-use mobile app that allowed staff to book and pay for their transport with just a few taps.

Thanks to NAVIT’s personalised mobility options, the team was able to switch to e-bikes via the bike-leasing scheme. The mobility budget has also proved its worth for colleagues who travel extensively for work. Using the budget, they were able to make use of the local transport options available in the cities they visited, making their journeys easier and more enjoyable.

Ultimately, by partnering with NAVIT, the Lufthansa Innovation Hub was able to offer its staff flexible and sustainable mobility benefits that are not only climate-friendly but also boost the team’s satisfaction and productivity.
