In today’s economy: Perks that make Cents
by Joan Silverstein, Center City Concierge
Some benefits can make an impact in the lives of employers and employees alike… In today’s economy, how do you offer a more creative and cost cutting benefit that will:
- Improve Productivity
- Enhance Workplace Satisfaction
- Boost Employee Commitment
- Reduce Absenteeism
A concierge service is one such benefit. You might not think about concierge services other that those offered in hotels however, corporate concierge services are becoming more commonplace since work/life balance affects everyone.
A corporate concierge can plan meetings, help employees during relocation, do web research, assist in cost effective employee appreciation programs, perform personal shopping, plan special events, and find a pet sitter, house cleaner or plumber
“10 percent of the workday can be spent on personal tasks. Add to that the absenteeism resulting from the need to attend to life’s necessities and you can see how these factors have a major impact on productivity and efficiency”— the American Institute of Stress
Ultimately, by offering concierge services to employees you’re acknowledging their commitment by providing them with a very valuable resource….TIME!
