Sounds English, right? In Germany, a Jobticket is an employee benefit that provides a public transport pass at a reduced price.

Also sometimes called \u2018JobRad\u2019. In the UK, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinguk.org\/article\/guide-cycle-work-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government-sponsored scheme is called Cycle to Work<\/a>. In my research, I couldn\u2019t find anything similar in the USA at present.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobility<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 In German HR departments, \u2018Mobility\u2019 is often used as a translation for \u2018Mobilit\u00e4t\u2019, to mean benefits around getting to and from work. Like a Jobticket or Jobbike. <\/span>Yet, in the US and the UK, when HR departments talk about mobility, they generally mean assistance provided when employees move between jobs, particularly when relocating to a new city or country.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>How misunderstandings can affect recruitment<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These benefits are sometimes known as \u2018<strong>commuter benefits\u2019 <\/strong>or \u2018<strong>transportation benefits\u2019<\/strong> in English, though they have different meanings in each country. In the US, commuter benefits refers to the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.actweb.org\/commuter-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tax treatment that is provided to employers and employees in relation to certain commuting costs\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this is where Denglish can harm communication. German companies are increasingly aiming to recruit international employees due to the shortage of skilled workers. A strong Total Rewards package with extensive employee benefits can help immensely to attract candidates. But if the potential employees don\u2019t understand the excellent perks on offer, they might not apply. And current international employees may also miss out on excellent benefits.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For international companies, clarity matters more than ever.
