Shout-Out Wednesday: "I Would Like To Nominate Matthew For A Nobel Prize For Hospitality"

"FSO Rockstars Run Your Office, So You Can Run Your Business: Our Clients Tell All About Them"

Good Morning Folks,

FSO entered into strategic partnerships with clients to (re)IMAGINE non-core functions. From mail, copy, litigation support, digital services, messenger, meeting rooms/conference center, receptionist, records, hospitality and a full fleet of new multi-functional copiers/scanning devices and more, more and more - we are our client's go to team for anything and everything when it comes to (re) Imagining the Guest and Client Experience— so they can concentrate on their core competencies  what they do best (i.e. serving their customers).

In a time of rapid business change and disruption, FSO has been able to make a positive and powerful impact on our client's bottom line. Every day our hospitable teams across the USA helps clients improve service, reduce cost and take better care of the people who help make it possible. 

In one of our newest engagements we displaced the incumbent provider following a decades-long engagement, and on the first day our client is singing the praises of one of our folks suggesting, "I wanted to give some much deserved compliments to Matthew. He is FANTASTIC! His willingness to assist is stellar and his help is very much appreciated. It’s refreshing to see a young man such as Matthew with a strong work ethic and a great deal of maturity. He is an indispensable asset to this company and will soar to great heights throughout his career. I would like to nominate him for Spotlight Tuesday, Kudos, and a Nobel Prize for Hospitality (if such a thing exists). : )"

Now, directly from client management here's more about some of the AWESOME ways our motivated, team oriented, passionate people supported them in the month of June.

He is an asset to your group.  I am appreciative and incredibly thankful he assisted the Technology Group meet our deadline."

He is constantly wowing the client in his role of concierge at the front door by providing excellent white glove service with a smile. FSO has won this award twice within the past year which is a great accomplishment considering that we are the service provider. I would like to nominate Isaiah for FSO's employee of the month."

Clients at our most recent openings, already singing the praises of our folks

As I finish this I am at the site mentioned above where we displaced a decades-old incumbent. The site looks amazing. I am personally with our at contact waking the floors and the staff looks impeccable. Bravo. Bravo. So gosh darn proud of everyone. Sales team. Expansion teams. Awesome site tour and great client. The place is immaculate. Wow. FSO career apparel and technology In full swing. Made me day. 

This all happened and is happening in part due to great service over the past few years where our Records team wowed the socks off of the client in a different location helping to give that vote of confidence to enable us to win and take on all outsourced services.

Never lose the passion, the smile and the ability to put yourself in our clients shoes and get to know what they might be thinking that makes you so special! 

All of you are out in the field and have the power to make an incredible impact and a difference in the wealth and success of others.

IT IS YOU that makes FSO who we are. Love Life!

We NEVER Stop Thinking About YOU

"As you see, we NEVER stop thinking about YOU and what needs to be done in order to love what we do do each day and to be excited about being a part of the FSO journey."

Good Morning Folks,

It was a great Father's Day weekend in NYC!  The sun finally shined, people were smiling and having fun outdoors -J  Hope your weekend was just as nice, the official start to summer 2015!

Growing our folks is my legacy. My care. And my passion

As you know, we're all about making the Hospitality service, a seamless experience every single day. 

My team takes great pride in all that we do for our clients and the FSO family. Whenever, wherever and however, the FSO Team we'll always be there for you. 

• Everyone Cares
• Everyone Inspires
• Everyone Leads
• Everyone Is Aligned

We have the right people, with the right skills, in the right positions.

==> GRATITUDE

Gratitude is an emotion so powerful it can transform ones mood from darkness to healing light and renew our zest for life.

Being grateful is an attitude of deep appreciation for the realities that surround us "moment to moment"...each day of our life.

At last week's management meetings, I had the opportunity to meet with one of our rising stars and I was discussing with him what “SMILES AT YOUR SERVICE” really means. For me, it means for us to provide our clients - “SERVICE WITH PASSION”. 

Our customers are an investment and we need to maximize our return. The investment starts from Day One when the sales team makes the first contact and then continues through the sales cycle, implementation, life of the contract and the most important phase – renewal so that the customer remains with FSO. 

==> SMILES AT YOUR SERVICE: - How we provide service with passion: 

• We speak to our customers on a daily basis, we're cheerful and simile at them – (frowns use 72 muscles which a smile take 14!) -J
• We listen to our customers to find out what they really want.
• We do things the way customers expect them to be done.
• We train our team members to provide service the FSO way, create the FSO service experience for our clients!
• We're always on time for our customers, and if we are going to be late delivering service, we call the customer and explain the reason for the delay.
• We should always be our customer’s first choice.
• We add value. We provide our customers cost saving or process improvement ideas, help them through implementation and always want them to look good in front of their superiors. 

==> How real leaders act:

• They develop a positive mental attitude and let it be seen and felt by others.
• They always speak in a carefully disciplined, friendly tone.
• They pay close attention to someone speaking to them.
• They are able to maintain their composure in all circumstances.
• They are patient.
• They keep an open mind.
• They smile when speaking with others.
• They know that not all their thoughts need to be expressed.
• They don't procrastinate.
• They engage in at least one good deed a day.
• They find a lesson in failure rather than brood over it.
• They act as if the person they are speaking to is the most important person in the world.
• They praise others in a genuine way without being excessive.
• They have someone they trust point out their flaws 

Our growth also represents opportunity for all employees to expand your horizons and responsibilities.

We believe people make or break the success of an organization. FSO hires for character, desire and attitude and then takes better care of that individual than one could ever imagine. We take care of our people and in turn, they take care of you.

We continually strive to go "above and beyond" with our clients to provide the most enjoyable experience. 

The entire FSO Onsite Outsourcing Family is committed exceeding our client’s expectations every day in every way. 

My door is always open. Whether employee or client, I want to hear what we are doing right and if there is any way we can improve.

As you see, we NEVER stop thinking about YOU and what needs to be in order to love what we do do each day and to be excited about being a part of the FSO journey. Please keep the feedback coming and THANK YOU for your continued support and commitment.

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

All In A Day's Work

"We have made some substantial promotions: We have promoted more crds and acrds than ever before. But that is only the start."

Good Morning Folks,

To help the world better understand what it is that FSO does everyday, I started a new series on LinkedIn based on kudos from the field. I call it "All In A Day's Work." 

The stories are inspiring but you'll see it's perspiration that often leads to inspiration.

==> Example 1: 
How FSO is taking care of our clients in a way they never (re) Imagined 

Re: Andrew "Despite the seemingly impossible logistics of finding space for us a week after the initial move, Andrew worked to procure 4 conference rooms and a number of offices for our team. He has also assisted us with hoteling logistics as well as general, facilities related requests and has been sensitive to the urgency related to our requests. The timing could not have been worse, but Andrew has helped alleviate quite a bit of the logistical stress." 

==> Example 2 
What's in a day's work at an FSO site?  

Consider this report from our site of the year 2014- Chicago "We have worked incredibly hard this week! Every single person goes home extremely tired and hurting in a good way. Many of us have"step trackers" and all of us log 15k+ steps a day! Many of our steps include hauling around FULL 175 gallon shred bins and open dumpsters around the office for people who need it for the clean up. In addition to having to open 3 new fully set up floors and moving 600 employees, we also have to clear 3 old floors."  

==> Example 3 
A True Eye Opener

"The amount of blood, sweat and tears to complete the tasks, was monumental. It did not go unnoticed preparing and setting up all of the three new floors to a "high" standard that we have come to expect, but also to the clean up of 3 floors. Reacting to every demand from staff and Partners all wanting something different takes perseverance. I don't know how many tons of paper left this building for shredding or how many records where sent back, but that was unbelievable. Finding things dated back to 1955, I knew we had our hands full."

Our mission as always is to LOVE OUR EMPLOYEES AND LOVE OUR CLIENTS. Every day, every member of our team is encouraged to ask themselves the same question "how am I doing against that goal" what operationally am I doing differently to wow my clients? 

As a result of these efforts I'm pleased to share incredible success stories came from the pioneering MIP class: 

• Associates have become #2’s 
• #2’s have become Leads 
• Associates have become Team Leads 
• Leads have joined the Division Leadership Team 
• Leads and Associates have joined other client teams and service lines… 

... and ALL have been making great contributions throughout FSO, providing services at Durst, Brookfield, Tishman, IMG, Voya, HQ and the list goes on! 

We have made even more substantial promotions: We have promoted more crds and acrds than ever before. Stay tuned.But that is only the start. 

As Marilyn Monroe once said, “We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.” That says it all in our case. Everyone at FSO is a winner, and I could never do it without you.. we are family.. we are one FSO, and we are here to help one another.

The FSO excitement has never been stronger. And I am very proud of you.

Let's continue to WOW our clients! WOW our employees!  Roll out the Red Carpet! Ensure White Glove Service! Perfect professional images! Make a difference to ensure our clients Feel the Experience.

To keep reading these "All In A Day's Work" success stories, connect with me on LinkedIn.

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

Shout Out Wednesday: And The Praise Keeps Coming For Our Talented Rock Stars

"He is so helpful in keeping the kitchen clean and stocked, making sure the conference rooms are ready for big meetings, and always responds to our requests in a timely fashion. Most notably, he carries out even the smallest of tasks with a great attitude. 

When it comes to hospitality, you are the best!"

Good Morning Folks,

Seems like only yesterday I was getting calls about how the service in the legacy outsourcing companies that I had built, had fallen short, which began picking up the back of a napkin as a blank canvas to doodle my ideas on how I could come out of retirement and do it right.

Since then not only have we become the fastest growing company in all of outsourcing, but so far in 2015, as companies everywhere and even our competitors are cutting back and being spun off, we've hired over 200 employees, added major accounts like Burns and Levinson, MCCarter & English to join PwC in keeping us Boston strong as well Ruben Companies, Sage, Fosun  KCG and Chicago Title to our ever expanding national roster of clients.... and best of all we promoted several of our Future Leaders to support our budding infrastructure!! FSO is truly embarking on something remarkable.

It's said that great leadership seems easy when things are good and everybody's happy. When times grow tough, however, a leader's true colors are revealed.

And what a challenging time for those true colors to shine with the severe winter all around us. But as you'll see from the comments below, when clients needed a true strategic partner they could count on, they counted on us. And we delivered.

Here are some of the AWESOME things our clients said about our motivated, team oriented, passionate people in the month of April… Keep up the EXCELLENT work!

PHD Team

"Just wanted to send a quick thank-you note out to the not so small village of folks that made yesterday’s Bring Your Daughters and Sons To Work day such a hoot: The kids had a blast and quite frankly so did I."

Monica Middlebrooks, IMG

"Thanks for all of your help with Hillary Mandel’s meetings today.  It’s hard to plan things from another location but helpful to have you working on our team. We really appreciate it!"

Daniel, IMG

"DANNY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE FLOOR CLEANING !"

Victor, IMG  ***2Kudos in 1 Month***

"My name is Sammi and I work in the 200 5^th Ave office. I am writing to you in regards to Victor and what a pleasure it is to have him in the office. He is so helpful in keeping the kitchen clean and stocked, making sure the conference rooms are ready for big meetings, and always responds to our requests in a timely fashion. Most notably, he carries out even the smallest of tasks with a great attitude. You’re the best !"

                             Kenneth, NY Times

"You are really on top of your game. 

I am glad you are on our team. Thank you"

ASME Team

"I wanted to be sure I thanked each of you for your assistance with setting up for the 3D display event yesterday.  It really means a lot that you were all so willing to get things done fast and efficiently."

"I am traveling next Monday and Tuesday but when I return in on Wednesday, I will have lunch catered in for all of you."

Karen Russo, ?/ ASME

Cecilio Aponte, FSO

"My name is Kelly Iselin and I work in Bridgewater, NJ for the Brother account, Bomsi and I have recently met because things here had not been going so smoothly actually in all honesty things were pretty bad but then you put Cecilio Aponte on our account. 

We heard all the promises before and yet nothing had changed throughout the year, but Cecilio asked for one more chance and at that point we had nothing to lose….and then it happened he actually did what he said he was going to do, whether it was a simple call back or finally putting into place a resolution to the floater problem we had from day one.

Cecilio calls to check on us, he visits us to make sure (we) and the client are happy (and he brings us awesome popcorn). When I had a personal tragedy in my home life happened he checked on me daily whether it was call, a text or a note on email. For the first time since joining FSO I felt appreciated and what I was doing for the client actually meant something. Earlier this week we (Malka and I) were beyond surprised to receive beautiful flowers from Cecilio to let us know how awesome we are

(His words) and for me I can’t stop smiling, I am proud to share with everyone who walks 

by our reception desk who they are from and why.

Thank you for giving us Cecilio he has made a difference and I love working with him, he deserves to be recognized for his contribution to FSO.

My colleague Malka and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary next week with FSO/Brother, although the first 10 months were pretty rough having Cecilio working with us has made our future look a lot brighter."

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Kelly Iselin, Informationalist/ Brother International

Daniel, Sarah Lawrence College

"I wanted to let you know that Daniel Lugo is always super helpful and friendly and I really enjoy working with him."

Whether a salesperson, an experience associate, a records manager, an informationalist, or messenger, what makes our folks so special is their ability to think beyond their daily tasks and think like our clients. 

"What would the client want? What do they need? How could i be more proactive in their eyes? How could i really impress them?"

Do you know? Have you asked? Or are you assuming?  A true partner who never stops looking out for you, who takes that extra second to ask and then ACTS! 

Never lose the passion, the smile and what makes you special but put yourself in our clients shoes and get to know what they might be thinking! 

All of you are out in the field and have the power to make an incredible impact and a difference in the wealth and success of others.

I look forward to hearing stories from our clients how our team has made an impact by being a leader.

IT IS YOU that makes FSO who we are. Love Life!

Putting Promise to Practice at a large AMLAW 100 Firm: Kaci, Over To You

"A reduction of the  record's department's real estate footprint from just over 26,00 sqft down to 9,500 sqft, thus providing the firm with cost-savings close to 50k annually, Cross-training of the entire records staff to improve efficiency and coverage needs, the destruction of 2,400 boxes and another 15,00 sent to offsite storage, a floor by floor audit and clean-up of all eight of the firms floors in Newark, and the list goes on and on."

Good Morning Folks,

We start the week with just that – Owning the Client.  From end to end our business and model has never changed. Our clients choose FSO and make the change from their previous service provider or they outsource their in-house services. The relationship with every client always begins with the sales team hunting for opportunities or we get a referral or we get an RFP from all  the great word of mouth and our marketing team efforts.  

Getting that lead and opportunity is the hardest part and then our front end go to work through steps to the sale, relationship building, credibility building and convincing someone that they have to go with us and make a change as their risk of not changing is greater.  

We (re) Imagine with  them and our sales, analyst and marketing teams keep the pressure on. I am there every step of the way making it personal. Hours and hours are put in, tons of company dollars are invested, literally blood, sweat and tears from everyone to win the deal and get a client to buy us and entrust their office services teams and more to FSO.

This client buys what FSO is all about, they buy US they buy (re) Imagine, they buy peace of mind and sleep easy nights and they buy Me and team FSO.

So now this esctastic, elated new client who knows only perfection from the front end – unbelievable professionalism, buttoned up teams, perfect documents, personal communication and commitment from ME – is now in the hands of the FSO Operations Team.

The expectations are set and Ops must deliver and take the Client Experience to the next level.  The Ops team must deliver the Promise to Practice that our clients bought – the (re) Imagine and the Sleepeasy

Today we hear from Kaci, one of our Business Operations Managers who delvers promise to practice at an AMLAW 100 law firm branch where we have just expanded to take on their Boston headquarters and 7 other branches. Kaci's team's efforts to WOW! our client each and every day and the results we achieved for them were key to entrusting us with expanded responsibilities. Kaci, over to you...

"I started with FSO back in March of 2012 after spending the previous 5 years with a competitor who shall remain nameless. I carefully decided to make the move over to FSO after having several discussions with Jim, since I had heard quite a few unflattering "rumors" about the company from my prior employer, which should come as no surprise for those of you who know where I used to work.  I can now say without a doubt that it was one of the wisest career decisions that I have ever made.     

Why is that you ask? Because FSO is a company that asks you to (re)imagine yourself everyday...Not only that, you are asked to (re)imagine the way you operate your specific "book of business", the way you communicate with your clients and staff, the level of service we provide our clients, and even the way present ourselves to the world by our dress & career apparel.  

Actually, let me get a little more specific... 

A little over a year ago my career took an unexpected turn when Jim asked me to drop a majority of my accounts and take on a new role as an EM/ED for new important client that was brought on board, called McCarter & English. Initially I was a little apprehensive, since the move almost seemed like it might take me backward, but after taking some time to see the bigger picture and (re)Imagine the possibilities...I viewed the move as an opportunity to show that I was a team player and that I could deliver for FSO and the client.  

So as I sit here right now typing this message to all of you, I can say that I achieved both of those goals. In the past year or so, myself and the team here at McCarter have been able to accomplish the following; A reduction of the  record's department's real estate footprint from just over 26,00 sqft down to 9,500 sqft, thus providing the firm with cost-savings close to 50k annually, Cross-training of the entire records staff to improve efficiency and coverage needs, the destruction of 2,400 boxes and another 15,00 sent to offsite storage, a floor by floor audit and clean-up of all eight of the firm's floors in Newark, and the list goes on and on.  

All that being said, the client has definitely been "wow'd" by the FSO Experience...and we have been able to receive an annual increase, give raises to our staff, and add our first additional headcount in the firm's newly acquired East Brunswick office with many more to hopefully follow in the upcoming year. So please let my story be an inspiration to always try and (re)imagine any challenge, opportunity, difficulty, etc...that may present itself."

So it is safe to say that Kaci's worth ethic, the resulting hospitality an ultimately the incredible business results and value achieved, was key to McCarter & English' decision to expand FSO presence to 8 locations including it's Boston headquarters.

Kaci thought being assigned one account after managing many was a demotion. But now we can all see why this was a promotion. It's all about (re) Imagining. 

Hospitality is our DNA.

• Operational best practices continue to be our greatest asset. 
• We invest in our people.
• We Fulfill Dreams.
• We put Promise to Practice.

The new ideas flowing, and the programs they spur are an investment in our most precious commodity… OUR PEOPLE!  We are committed to providing our talent force with time-tested, proven and yet consistently (re)IMAGINED tools and focus like: 

• Amazing Training              
• Incredible Mentorship                   
• Creative Approaches                      
• Awesome Workshops                   
• Real-World Application                  
• Dynamic Development                  
• Endless Opportunities

Our job in hospitality is to make the client feel as if they are at home and create memories and experiences that want to make clients "return." It is also our job to make sure that we supply our clients with that “WOW" factor that makes them feel special. As important as it is to take care of our clients, it is equally important to take care of all of our team members. The more enthusiastic and happy our employees are at work the more productive they will be. Without the support of each team member that “WOW” factor will never be given to our clients.

As a client we always have your back. And we will never stop (re)IMAGINING new and better ways to make your workplace work better.

Kaci's story is a case in point. It personifies the essence of the FSO client and employee experience. If you haven't read that yet I encourage you to do so. 

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

Love Life!

She does so with the utmost professionalism and makes everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. Often, she is the first person that our prospective new hires meet.
