Cleaning your clothes Getting a massage Taking care of your car

These are all experiences companies can provide for their employees. These workplace benefits help establish a positive work-life balance, and people with a positive work-life balance will work harder, work smarter, and stick around longer.

Work-life balance

Work-life balance means getting all one’s work done while running errands, staying healthy, and having time for family and leisure. With jobs now requiring more than 8 hours a day, some companies have begun providing services like dry cleaning, meals, and financial planning on-site. This makes it easier for employees to stay at work and stay productive.

But these services do more than just keep people working longer – employees are far more likely to stay with a company that considers and provides for their personal needs. Workplace benefits produce driven, passionate productivity and long-term loyalty, qualities which pay for themselves time and again.

Off-balance: Obstacles to effective delivery of services

Companies have long recognized that establishing a work-life balance is critical to employee happiness and productivity, yet some issues have kept workplace benefit programs from providing their ideal return on investment:

• Large companies often provide services in an inconsistent or ad-hoc manner, creating a bad user experience among employees

• Medium-sized and smaller companies may feel these programs are beyond their means

• Vetting and establishing good relationships with trustworthy vendors takes time and resources

Until now there hasn’t been a streamlined way to provide the services and benefits necessary to achieve this goal.

Return on Investment: Why companies subsidize workplace services

Workplace benefits are an investment! Businesses with top-notch benefits foster a better, more efficient workforce, become a place top hires want to go, and reduce turnover.

Espresa offers many ways to manage, fund, and control workplace services, including options to subsidize these programs at little or no cost to staff. Every dollar a company spends on these services saves their employees measurable hours of lost productivity and stress, creating a huge return on investment.

The modern employment market is already highly competitive, with recruiters seeking out the best and brightest in every field. Quality-of-life benefits are a tangible measure of how fulfilling a person’s tenure will be, and so are right up there with requirements like healthcare and salary.

“We believe it is easy to be penny wise and pound

foolish with respect to benefits that can save employees

considerable time and improve their health and productivity.”- Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Google IPO Letter

The problem we solve

A poor work-life balance often leads people to underperform or simply leave companies in search of something better. This is a massive drain on productivity – and a major factor in workers’ negative feelings is a lack of respect for their personal time. That’s where workplace services can play a big role in boosting morale and efficiency – not to mention recruiting and staff retention.

Espresa lets companies offer services on-site during work hours. Imagine employees not having to rush to the cleaner before it closes, because they can just leave their clothes at the front desk; not having to spend 2 hours at the oil change place because the car is taken care of between 9 and 5. Imagine the sense of satisfaction, confidence, and loyalty an employee feels when their company sees to their comfort and needs.

The Benefits of Espresa

• Recruiting edge: Add value when attracting, retaining, and motivating workers

• Improved morale: Employee satisfaction, goodwill, and work-life balance all improve

• More usage: Employees are made aware of and encouraged to use workplace services

• Increased productivity: Services performed at work keep employees productive rather than running errands during business hours
