In the modern-day office, every minute counts. With the rapid pace of business, the emphasis on efficient workflows has never been greater. However, amidst the daily grind, there's one area that's often overlooked: package deliveries. Traditional mailrooms can quickly become chaotic, leading to lost or stolen packages and unnecessary trips that interrupt an employee’s workflow. Enter the solution: office package lockers.

The realm of office security extends beyond mere safeguarding of premises and company resources. In today's multifaceted business landscape, it touches on everything from data protection to ensuring employee well-being and happiness. This intersection of responsibilities falls under the purview of workplace managers. As businesses adapt to more flexible work arrangements, the role of these managers becomes paramount. They orchestrate a secure environment that fosters trust and productivity, ultimately contributing to happier employees.

Recently, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, announced that employees will be required to be in the office four days a week beginning March 1. As companies begin to bring employees back to the office, they are facing a variety of challenges. The transition from remote work to a hybrid schedule can be difficult for both employers and employees, and it's important to understand the struggles that the workplace may face during this process.

At Luxer One, one of our most important goals is to speed up the delivery process for carriers. We know that in order to have a successful product, we need all of our users to have an incredible delivery and pickup experience, and the success of that is contingent upon carriers delivering quickly and efficiently.

As we near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are actively planning strategies to return to regular operations for their office personnel. But if there is anything we have learned from the past year of lockdown, it’s that the traditional model of working in an office, Monday through Friday, is in need of a vital update.

For a company to be successful, it needs to find ways to save time and money and use those resources to grow their business. Many businesses receive important packages or hard copy files on a regular basis and need an efficient way to manage and locate these assets. Insurance companies, for example, receive stacks of vital (and sometimes irreplaceable) paperwork from clients daily. They also need to send out paperwork for hard signatures. Without a mailroom and corresponding staff in place to manage this, it can be difficult to sort through this paperwork and make sure nothing gets lots. This can result in hours of lost time or even lost files. 

One company in particular, a top insurance company in Canada, experienced these issues and desperately needed a solution. They approached our team at Luxer One, and we solved their most pressing accountability and document-tracking problems. Together, we were able to future-proof their business from future growing pains. In this case study, we interviewed a company representative about their experience implementing Luxer One and the impact it has had on their daily business.

When job candidates are searching for a new career, potential salary is only part of the equation. They're also looking at other factors such as commute, benefits, Glassdoor ratings, and unique job perks that a company might offer. In fact, the right workplace perks, such as a package locker in the office mailroom to streamline deliveries, can not only increase retention rates but they can even save companies money every year.

The average cost of an employee turnover is 2.5 times the individual's salary. If your target salary for a position is $50,000, you may actually spend up to $125,000 if you need to refill that position every year. With this alarming statistic in mind, it makes sense to provide benefits to your employees that both save you money in the long term and give your employees something to smile and brag about. 

In this article, we review seven workplace perks you may not have thought about that can give you an edge in the hiring process, and keep your employees excited to come to work every day.
