Successful integration of all life’s responsibilities

What does work-life balance mean? It is being productive and satisfied with outcomes happening in all areas of life. Balance is about integrating responsibilities at work and home in a way that allows people to experience the best of both worlds without consistently sacrificing one for the other.
 

Creating a competitive recruitment edge with satisfied team members

Chef posing for cameraBeing an employer of choice means being ahead of your competition as you attempt to recruit the best talent for your organization. A welcoming and innovative culture and a comprehensive benefit package are important considerations. Incoming millennial professionals, especially, expect modern conveniences and place a higher value on purposeful work integrated with flexible time for family/friend quality time and other personal pursuits.

Every healthcare organization is unique, and the needs of their employees vary. Balance Concierge’s services help your team members maintain balance in their lives by providing personal assistance with many of their routine tasks that can seem overwhelming when combined with a busy work schedule.

Building lasting physician and provider relationships

When physicians are happier, patients are better served. By partnering with physician recruitment and relations teams, Balance Concierge is helping create exceptional experiences for new physicians and their families who are relocating and frequently use the service. Your recruiters are identifying specific needs during the on-boarding process and referring incoming providers to our white-labeled Balance team. Providers who are long-time team members also enjoy the added benefit of having their to-do lists taken care of each week. The result is improved physician relations and increased job satisfaction.

High quality, high caring providers are important to the success of your health system. Many providers appreciate having access to the extra benefit of Balance Concierge’s services such as the convenience and healthy benefits of having fresh produce from their Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) coordinated by Balance Concierge delivered to them at their hospital.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

“I can’t say enough about the benefit this service has brought to me. I work ridiculous numbers of hours (clinical plus teaching plus administrative plus community service) and just recently tried the service for the first time on a lark. They are amazing, in terms of responsiveness, the depth of the services, and how hands-on they are with arranging whatever needs to be done. Perhaps the thing that will, in the long run, contribute the most to my efforts to try and maintain some sense of wellness. Please continue to invest in this service, and spread the word about how great they are!!!”
