Work/Life Balance: What are employer-sponsored concierge benefits?

Homing from Work
Driven by a compelling need to “do it all” in the era of 24/7 connectivity, today’s workforce is saying goodbye to “career and family” guilt and embracing work-life harmony – a seamless cohesion of personal and professional obligations and interests. In a sign of the times, 93 percent of today’s professionals are now “homing from work” (the opposite of “working from home”), i.e. conducting personal business on company time.
Modern employees want jobs that fit their socially conscious, eco-friendly, fitness-focused, app-enhanced lifestyles, and look for workplaces whose culture allows them to complete work and life tasks using the same resources. Whether it’s paying bills, shopping, scheduling appointments, booking travel, running errands, or engaging in social media, employees see no reason to separate responsibilities between work and home.
What this means for business?
As this cultural shift toward work-life harmony becomes the norm, businesses can’t afford to ignore homing from work. Professionals who home from work about two hours each day cost companies an estimated $759 billion annually in wasted time and lost productivity. But stress, the modern workforce epidemic, is also costing American industry $300 billion a year.
Investing in practices that produce a less stressed and more satisfied and engaged workforce is crucial to the bottom line. Highly engaged workforces generate 29 percent more revenue, have a 44 percent higher retention rate, and increase annual profits by $2,400 per employee on average.
Businesses that recognize and respond to ever-changing employee needs with innovative perks and policies will be setting themselves up for greater productivity, less turnover, and decreased recruiting, training, and health care costs – a smart business decision not just for next year, but for a new era of company success.
