Tired of perks that collect dust? Too many benefits look good on paper but fail to make a tangible impact. This one actually gets used — and not just occasionally.
Take a moment and think about your average employee’s day. What’s on their to-do list?
Eight hours of work, a commute, a handful of errands, maybe family obligations.
For most working adults, the list seems endless, and time is always in short supply.
Now imagine if your team members didn’t have to squeeze in those life to-do’s. Picture someone handling those time-consuming, stress-inducing tasks so they could focus on work, their family and even carve out some “me time.”
That’s the value a concierge service adds when it’s built into your employee benefits package.
The Overlooked Problem With Most Employee Benefits
Organizations often equate a long list of benefits with real value — but the truth is, many of those programs are underutilized and don’t deliver the impact employees need.
From complicated wellness apps to niche “point solutions” that serve only a fraction of the workforce, many benefits fail to address the core problem employees face: time poverty.
Your team members don’t need one more platform to log into or another perk they’ll forget about after open enrollment.
They need a benefit that meets them where they are, removes stress and gives them back hours in their day.
Successful RTO Policies Need the Right Employee Benefits
As organizations bring their teams back to the office, providing meaningful support is more critical than ever.
Returning onsite isn’t just about adjusting to a new schedule — it’s about employees juggling longer commutes, school drop-offs, grocery runs and the endless list of personal errands that don’t stop when the workday starts.
That’s where an employee concierge comes in. By taking care of the tasks that chip away at time and focus, a concierge program helps employees reclaim their day.
The result? Less stress, more productivity and a smoother transition for everyone involved.
Because a successful RTO strategy isn’t just about where people work, it’s about how supported they feel when they get there.
Consider these benefits:
- Time Savings: A concierge handles everything from grocery runs to scheduling appointments, freeing up employees’ time each week.
- Stress Reduction: With fewer to-do’s hanging over their heads, employees experience less burnout and more balance.
- Productivity Gains: Freed from distraction, employees can focus on high-value work instead of multitasking or rushing.
- Work-Life Harmony: Spending more time with family and pursuing personal interests leads to improved overall well-being.
When a concierge service is part of your employee benefits package, it tells your team: “We value your time and want to make life easier for you, inside and outside of work.”
The Ripple Effect: Retention, Engagement and Talent Attraction
A thoughtfully designed employee benefits package does more than provide perks; it directly impacts your organization’s ability to attract and retain top talent.
Offering a concierge service demonstrates that you understand the demands of modern life and are committed to helping employees manage them effectively.
- Retention: Employees who feel cared for are more likely to be loyal to their organization. One user of our concierge program stated that the service was the sole reason she remained with her employer. Another reported they’d need an additional $1,000 in compensation to replace the benefit.
- Engagement: When employees aren’t running errands during their lunch break or mentally juggling their personal to-dos during a meeting, they’re more present and engaged at work.
- Recruitment: Offering unique benefits can be the deciding factor for candidates choosing between you and a competitor. A concierge program differentiates your employee benefits package and signals a culture of care and support.

The Bottom Line: A Modern Must-Have for Employee Benefits Packages
Adding a concierge service to your employee benefits package isn’t about checking a box — it’s about solving a real problem.
By giving employees back their most valuable resource, time, you’re not just improving their work-life balance, you’re also boosting your bottom line by increasing productivity, engagement and loyalty.
The most effective employee benefits packages are those that employees actually utilize. And when a benefit relieves stress, saves time and meets employees where they are, they’ll use it again and again.
