EAGAN, Minn., June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many think concierge services are only offered at fancy 5-star hotels or restaurants with Michelin stars. Still, in today's hectic world, they can be just what the doctor ordered to reduce employee stress and improve productivity.
What Is an Employee Concierge Service?
"An employee concierge service sometimes referred to as an office concierge or corporate concierge, is an employer-funded program that reduces work-life friction by saving employees time." (BestUponRequest).
Concierge services are not just for a business' top-floor executives. Employees at any level of an organization can benefit from having access to a concierge service, from technicians and janitorial staff to physicians and CEOs. Everyone can use a helping hand, sometimes. Wouldn't it be nice to get off work, and as you approach your automobile, you realize that your car is sparkling clean, vacuumed, and smelling great inside, the gas tank is full, and your plastic-covered dry cleaning is hanging up in the back. This scenario is just one of the many simple yet significant services a workplace concierge can accomplish for employees.
Offering our employees access to a concierge service as a premium benefit is a great idea. It is not a gimmick. It becomes more affordable when one realizes the practicality of a concierge service. After evaluating turnover, absenteeism, and challenged productivity, we have decided to use it to attract desirable new employees, engage, retain, reduce stress, increase productivity, and reward the talented and amazing employees we have at Crutchfield Dermatology. We will offer it part-time, with the ability to scale the service as dictated by employee demand. We have 45 employees, so we expect to see benefits as soon as our early adaptors engage." Reports Charles E. Crutchfield III, MD, medical director of Crutchfield Dermatology.
