When employers think about employee benefits, the conversation is usually centered around healthcare, retirement plans, and paid time off.
But what if one of the most valuable benefits you could offer isn’t another insurance plan at all?
What if it’s more time?
That was the question Bo Dietrick, President of Robert Dietrick Company (RDC), asked when evaluating how to better support his executive leadership team.
As a third-generation, family-owned industrial services company, RDC understands that great businesses are built by people—and people perform at their best when they aren’t carrying unnecessary stress home with them.
The Benefit That Gives Time Back
For Bo, the decision to offer Neighbor Serve’s Home Concierge service wasn’t based on a sales pitch.
It came from firsthand experience.
After using Home Concierge himself, he realized just how much time – and mental energy – homeowners spend coordinating repairs, researching contractors, and managing projects outside of work.
“When we think about benefits in our business, we’re really thinking about the value of time.”
That philosophy shaped RDC’s entire approach.
Instead of adding another traditional workplace perk, Bo wanted to invest in something that would genuinely improve the lives of his leadership team.
More Than a Perk – An Investment
Business leaders constantly think about return on investment, and Bo approached this decision no differently.
He saw Home Concierge as an investment that could pay dividends both inside and outside the office.
“I really thought that the Home Concierge system for our executive team created a great ROI for us… putting a lot more time back into their days and weeks so they can be more effective business leaders… and also better people at home.”
When employees aren’t spending evenings chasing contractors or worrying about unexpected home projects, they have more capacity to focus at work, spend time with their families, and actually recharge.
For RDC, that wasn’t just good for employees—it was good for the business.
Looking Beyond Traditional Benefits
The definition of employee benefits has evolved.
Today’s workforce is looking for employers who understand that well-being extends beyond medical coverage or retirement accounts.
Bo believes employers should think about another valuable asset many employees have:
Their home.
“If we can offer a concierge system for somebody’s personal health, why would we not offer a concierge for the health of their home?”
For many families, a home is their largest investment. Keeping it maintained can be overwhelming, especially for busy professionals balancing demanding careers and family responsibilities.
By helping employees care for their homes, employers can reduce stress in a meaningful, tangible way.
A New Way to Support Your Team
Every organization wants employees who are focused, energized, and engaged.
Sometimes the best way to accomplish that isn’t by asking people to work harder – it’s by helping remove the distractions waiting for them after work.
For RDC, Home Concierge became an innovative way to do exactly that.
As Bo puts it, the service filled “a hole that I think was previously being underserved” in the company’s employee benefits.
It’s a reminder that the most impactful benefits aren’t always the most traditional – they’re the ones that make everyday life a little easier.
