Employee Productivity – Andrea Arena

Employee retention isn’t about money but THIS?

By all accounts our corporate client, a leading Public Relations firm, created an awesome corporate culture. However, there was one important obstacle still to overcome. They asked themselves time and time again, “How can we help reduce stress for our valued team members?” This firm, like most in their industry, employs a highly skilled and experienced female-dominated work-force. These professionals travel extensively for work, work long hours and many of them also carry the lion-share of the responsibilities at home. As hard as they tried, these Superwomen often felt that by doing everything they didn’t do anything well. TimeSquared helped this corporate client understand that Work/life Integration is a new corporate imperative. It is the acknowledgement that our valued employees are human-beings - not Droids – and they have very full lives outside of the office. Balancing the responsibilities of being an exceptional corporate executive and a parent, running a household and the increasing common eldercare challenges is not for the faint of heart. This Public Relations leader realized the importance of reducing the distractions. By enlisting our errand running and concierge services to serve their employees allowed them to stay client-focused during their demanding work day. The employees were thrilled! In fact, 100% of their employees reported that the concierge services of TimeSquared helped reduce their stress!

Elevating Employee Retention Through Corporate Concierge Services

In the competitive landscape of talent acquisition and retention, organizations are increasingly turning to innovative solutions to enhance employee satisfaction and loyalty. One such solution gaining traction is the incorporation of corporate concierge services to manage the personal errands and tasks of valued employees. This article explores how investing in a corporate concierge service can significantly impact employee retention and contribute to a thriving workplace culture. Valuing Employee Time and Well-being Time is a precious commodity, especially for busy professionals juggling work and personal responsibilities. By providing a corporate concierge service, employers demonstrate a commitment to their employees' well-being by alleviating the burden of mundane tasks. Whether it's meeting contractors at the home, shopping for groceries and gifts, the concierge service allows employees to focus more on their work and personal priorities, leading to reduced stress and increased job satisfaction. Enhancing Work-Life Balance Work-life balance is crucial for employee happiness and retention. When employees feel supported in managing their personal obligations, they experience less burnout and are more likely to remain loyal to their employer. A corporate concierge service can help create a harmonious balance by taking care of time-consuming tasks that often spill over into personal time, thereby allowing employees to enjoy more quality time with their families and pursue personal interests. Boosting Productivity and Focus Employees can devote more energy and concentration to their core responsibilities when they are not distracted by personal errands. A corporate concierge service contributes to a more productive work environment by minimizing interruptions and ensuring that employees remain focused on their professional tasks. This increased productivity can lead to improved performance and greater contributions to organizational goals. Differentiating as an Employer of Choice In today's competitive job

Remote Working Is Here To Stay

Remote Working is here to stay. McKinsey's article, "Fostering employee productivity and morale during COVID-19" speaks to the ways and importance of maintaining employee productivity and employee engagement with a remote workforce. The article suggests, "Leaders might take into account the challenges people are encountering in balancing their work lives with their personal lives. This is particularly true for working parents and other caregivers." What assistance are you providing your people to help them stay focused while working from home - with or without kids attending virtual school in the next room and safeguarding elderly family members with a compromised immune system? The national errand running capabilities of Timesquared Concierge have transitioned from a "nice to have" to a "must have" for many employers. We complete all of the personal errands (weekly grocery shopping, Target and Costco runs, driving vehicles for service, taking pets to the vet and so much more) allowing the employees to focus on the job at hand. Providing TimeSquared Concierge as an employee benefit send a clear message that their employer understands their personal challenges. https://www.mckinsey.com/about-us/covid-response-center/leadership-mindsets/podcasts/fostering-employee-productivity-and-morale-through-covid-19#
