Carpooling takes significantly longer than driving individually, due to the need to coordinate trips. Likewise, using public transportation usually takes significantly longer than driving. I don't think charging employees for parking would change their behaviors (it certainly didn't change mine when I had to pay for my own parking spot in SF for $300 a month - I still found it beneficial to save an hour each day in commuting by driving instead of taking the train). Outside of highly built up areas (where things are within walking distance or it is economically feasible to have fast frequent public transportation between high density housing and high density office space), driving is simply a better option.
