Lose weight. Eat healthier. Stop smoking. Spend more time with the family. Carve out more free time for yourself. If these New Year’s Resolutions sound familiar, you’re not alone. Each year as people ring in the New Year, they vow to make certain changes in their lives --- vows that are often broken.
“It’s important for employees to realize that they have ready access to the support they need to keep their New Year’s Resolutions. By tapping into their concierge provider, they and their families can access the assistance they need to make these resolutions stick,” says Kimberlee Mineo of Circles (www.circles.com).
For examples, concierge can help find:
Nutritional cooking classes in the community
Near-by mommy/daddy and me classes
Exercise classes geared toward one’s age, lifestyle, exercise goals, etc.
Stop smoking classes/support groups
Fun ways to spend time with the family such as vacation ideas, games the whole family can play, local museums and shows, etc.
Stress management classes, coaches
Home organization experts
Career or college coaches
Local clubs/groups related to favorite hobbies such as book clubs, knitting groups, etc.
What’s more, by off-loading the task to concierge, people save the time they would have spent finding and gathering this information. “Our surveys show that people save an average of 3.4 hours each time they place a request with concierge,” says Mineo. “That’s 3+ hours they now have to spend more time with family or on themselves.”
