Shout Out Wednesday: A True American Hero in Our Midst

"Gratitude is a beautiful way to acknowledge those who make our lives happier and more meaningful. This, along with care, motivation, people development and training is how I’ve built my business."

Good Morning Folks,

It's an honor to share feedback from our clients about our employees at their sites.

And then there is an unbelievable and truly a testament of why we have amazing folks in the FSO family - thank you Miguel for your amazing heroism. We are honored to have you part of FSO - again thank you!!!!

Our clients LOVE us! Why? Because of YOU, our teammates! Here are highlights from all the kudos we’ve received since our last edition. Keep up the good work!

Miguel- 70 Greene **2 Kudos in 1 Month**
"So, I'm going start with: this guy is my hero and I'm going to end with, this guy is my hero! Miguel: our FSO Ambassador manning the Concierge Front Desk was conducting his duties when he noticed what he thought, had to be a prank (on him....testament to the bond he has with his clients of the apartment building). A tenant of the building came out of the elevator, heavily pregnant and holding a 2 year old and bleeding profusely from her wrist (sorry to be graphic).

It was an attempted suicide. This was not an episode of "what would you do?... There was no John Quiñones to come out from behind the camera. Miguel didn't believe what he was seeing and took a moment to get his head straight. What he did next saved not just the woman (Mom) but the unborn and the 2 year old toddler. The woman intended to get in her car and when Miguel confronted her, she pleaded to allow her to get to her car to go to hospital. Miguel was, oh no you don't, he grabbed her wrist as a human tourniquet and made her sit down. She tried to convince him to let her go and get in her car but he took control and had another associate call 911 and get EMTs out. Miguel kept her awake as she repeatedly passed out.

EMTs arrived and took her away to hospital and Miguel, if you didn't do what you did, she would have bled out in 4 mins. If she had made the car, it could have cost her a lot more than her and her unborn.

The woman is ok and back yesterday at the building and her husband couldn’t have been more than you'd expect him to be in his thanks to Miguel.

Miguel, with military background has kind of shook it off as "it was ok, and we see a lot as Concierge."

You are a hero... You saved 3 lives in your watch and if ever FSO could think of an example of what greatness is, you are our superman. Kudos !!!"

People who work hard for FSO and burt clients, have the privilege of being able to interact
with the President and Founders at CHO Club, and share a drink with them after work!

Cleon & Adrieanne, PHD

"A note of praise for Cleon… Besides him always having a smile and a good morning for everyone, he works extremely hard and is willing to help with any project needed at any time.I just wanted you to know he is really magnificent and a wonderful asset."

"Adrieanne is fabulous!  And definitely a keeper.  She really thinks about what she's doing and analyzes it and asks the right questions....love the attention to detail!"

Shanelle, At Wall Street's Biggest International Bank

" Ms. Shanelle was assigned to front desk reception performing normal duty functions at which time she was approached by an SG Employee who was on our “DO-NOT ADMIT” list.  Ms. Jimenez recognized the employee and confirmed/authenticated the access status of the employee. After determining that a restriction and immediate notification requisite was in-place, Ms. Shanelle swiftly and calmly made the required notifications without escalating the employee’s emotions. He professional deportment and subtle quick actions significantly contributed to the overall calmness of the encounter between the employee, human resources and corporate security. Ms. Shanelle's professionalism, combined with her cool, calm and collective composure under a stressful situation is a credit to FSO. It is a pleasure to have Ms. Shanelle assigned to the SG account and team!"

Trevor,At Wall Street's Biggest International Bank

“I wanted to take a minute to tell you how fortunate I have been to know, and work with Trevor. He is a remarkable, conscientious, and quick thinking individual.”

Cory, At the Atlanta Site of Global Talent Management Lreader
"I think Corey is a terrific addition to our team…always smiling…saying hello…and ON TOP of everything.  It’s refreshing to have someone so nice and willing to help in the office."

Mandi, Working for FSO at Major Law Firm

 Just wanted to let you know how critical Mandi was in pulling together the first set of 23 documents, thru a series of emails and sets of different instructions – I know, I know, while you may say she was "just doing the job” … do note what a great job she did, asking questions, following up, staying to the late end."

Ervin, Working onsite at one of the world's biggest advertising holding companies
"I don't even know how to put into words how proud I am of Ervin. He embodies everything our company is about. I could write to you every single day with a different example of how Ervin goes above and beyond, to provide the best service possible to our client. We have had a particularly challenging week, being short handed and having to manually log in several hundred packages a day, due to computer issues. Ervin all week has taken on more responsibilities that we have assigned him, but this has not stopped him coming up to us asking what more he can do. This is just the type of person Ervin is. Ervin is a natural leader, who asks for no recognition but truly deserves it. They say you are the product of the five people you spend the most time around. I am really grateful Ervin is one of my five."

Jannel,  Onsite at a financial services giant

“I just wanted to write a quick note about how great I think Jannel is.  I have seen her conduct herself in a highly professional manner and notice how employees and guest respond to her.  She is quick, efficient and extremely on point with any task provided. We feel well taken care of with her at reception! Thank you for bringing her on board.”

"I would like Jannel to be recognized for not only excellent customer service, but for her winning, team oriented attitude during the staffing transition we’ve had here. I want FSO to know how lucky we are to have Jannel on our team."

Jamie and Jacque, Working for FSO at Boston's Strongest Attorneys **3 Kudos in 1 Month**

"Jamie has stepped up to the plate and has put 110% into his work every day.  Another shout out for Jacques Therlonge, yesterday we had a mass mailing, 8000 pieces of mail, he completed getting all the postage on and getting it all to the post office on time.  

“I just want to rely to you that Jamie is doing a wonderful job at the front desk. Anything I’ve needed for my attorneys in the last few weeks, I get an immediate response and a follow up call to make sure everything is taken care off."

“Hi Jamie, I just wanted to say thanks for your help troubleshooting. Thanks!”

Great team building this summer @FSO: Messenger Division takes up the “Friday Night Lights” with Bowling!

Informationalist & Office Services team, FSO HQ Open House ***3 Kudos***
“What an amazing day everyone!! Total of 101 candidate and 62 new candidates for our pipeline! Amazing! Great job and thank you all for your help  and a BIG kudos to our amazing front desk! Well done."

“I totally agree! The Front Desk, Padre & the Office Services Rocked IT! What an Amazing Day of team work and collaboration! Was wowed by the turnout today! Met so many amazing people and future stars! I have never been prouder to share about FSO and to be a part of this family! “

“This was a true TEAM effort....what energy and synergy...I could not be more proud and thankful for the amazing efforts to help get us to our 225 goal!!! We are almost there!! Kudos kudos kudos to OUR TEAM!!!”

"The awesome HQ office Service Team of Gaylon, Roberto & Padre. We needed a small project completed in a short amount of time for a presentation. Gaylon & Padre responded immediately and did a great job while smiling the whole time. Every time we need to send something to the post office, Roberto & Padre respond “sure, no problem at all”. They are all a delight to work with and remind us of the power of the smile."

Roberto, Office Services FSO HQ
"I want to send kudos for Roberto because he has simply been great since he has joined our office services team. From day one, he has taken every task and project given to him with ease and has done a great job. These past two days have been very busy, and on both days Roberto has pushed his lunch time just so he could help me out. He has a great attitude, and has helped me out tremendously and in a timely manner. Please pass along my gratitude to Roberto as his help is greatly appreciated."

Shateya, FSO HQ
"Thank you for all your help this week Shateya, I don't know if I could have gotten it done without you!"

Very proud of our team providing innovative solutions to the pharmaceutical industry including lab support, sterilization and documentation on both small and big pill lines.  

Whether a salesperson, an experience associate, a records manager, an informationalist, or messenger, what makes our folks so special is their ability to hink 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 as to how our team has made an impact showing leadership.

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

FSO On The Fast Track Welcoming A Record Breaking Surge of New Accounts

"Imagine you are a customer choosing FSO as a business partner. You sign the contract and immediately become part of the FSO family! But wait, it does not end there, you now have a specialized transition team assigned to you with Client Relations Directors, Client Relations Managers, Team Leads, Associates, and members of our operations, finance, people solutions and  IT teams ready to help you (re)IMAGINE your business."

Good Morning Folks,

Since the company’s launch in 2010, Future State Outsourcing (FSO) has been on a roll, signing a record-breaking number of accounts in all verticals with no sign of slowing down.  

FSO has dedicated significant resources in order to further support this surge of growth and expansion nationwide. But we could not make the shift without a strong leadership team who collectively has hundreds of years of onsite outsourcing experience, having created hundreds of thousands of new jobs and solid solutions that have provided decades of success to tens of thousands of organizations.

FSO is all about engagement with our clients and becoming part of your business family. Our leadership team’s experience and ideas have come from the streets and not from behind a desk or from sitting in board meetings with endless graphs full of “why nots.” Our leadership team is out in the field with you - our clients – listening, impacting and improving the services we deliver every day. In addition to our proven leaders, Our Future Leaders are truly one of our greatest assets. Our mission with Future Leaders is develop business leaders across the FSO enterprise.

Finally. An Outsourcing Partner Who Won't Disappoint You

Every account we've won and in growing the business so rapidly in just 60 months was a client of someone else who disappointed them. In this economy, bigger conglomerates look to cut costs, but make a big mistake when they skimp on training. By neglecting to properly and consistently train their folks, our competitors have opened the door for others to eat their lunch.

Training is OUR competitive difference, and folks from all walks of the company are taking advantage of it. 

As technology continues to move faster and faster, rapidly innovating companies will find that trustability and management accountability will become indispensable. Moreover, when it’s not your core competency  it’s vital to have someone else managing it who knows how to hire and train in that type of role.

FSO's surge in growth and expansion throughout the United States has been largely driven by market and client demands. Our clients are asking us to grow with them. As they expand, they want FSO by their side. Leading that charge is our President, Jim Caton.

Hospitality is Jim’s DNA. He has perfected the art of working closely with our national clients and our onsite teams in the field and remains highly engaged with every aspect of our client’s operations. Jim is tasked with expansion, while overseeing and ensuring service extraordinaire for existing business.

Operational best practices continue to be our greatest asset. Accordingly, Dean Graves joined FSO as Senior Vice President, Operations and our Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to apply his first-hand client insights. Dean reports directly to Mitch and is responsible for all of the tri-state operations and staff. 

In a day and age when technology carries equal weight in relevance to people + solutions, Our Chief Information Officer, Thomas Pategas, provides a unique level of strategic support and advice for our clients.  Not only does our CIO provide unbiased hardware and software recommendations, but he also has the strategic experience to ensure our solutions are in line with our clients overall IT device management, strategic goals, and budget. HE is always thinking about how technology can drive out costs and cycles, while making possible for you what was not possible before. 

While we are partners, we are always thinking about how technology can drive out costs and cycles, and make visibility, transparency and accountability a real time event.

A Sleep-Easy Transition

With all these new accounts coming in, besting relationships with incumbent partners that, in some cases, go back decades, the question I am often asked is "what about the transition," "how will you deal with my current teams, many of whom we like?"

FSO understands the importance of a seamless transition plan. A seamless transition is the result of careful planning and setting the expectations required to persevere through it.  Our signature Sleep Easy Transition methodology brings together skilled leaders from both sides working harmoniously to minimize culture change and service disruption. A seamless transition features a communication plan to inform employees, vendors, providers, and others involved.  

The key components of FSO’s Sleep Easy Transition process are as follows:

• Kick Off & Announcement
• FSO Experience Greatness
• Sleep Easy Documentation
• The Next Generation

Each component is executed in the weeks leading up to the Go Live or Launch date.

FSO has an extremely robust transition process in which executive members of our sales, Operations, Finance, HR and IT departments are included. This senior level involvement ensures that every facet of the transition process and your company’s needs are covered.

In the event that your firm or organization has decided to outsource, FSO will help lead and guide the staff transition process once the announcement has been made. We are there with you each step of the way to ensure all legacy staff can “sleep easy” throughout the transition process.

It's all explained in detail in the business plan we will propose to you.

To existing clients: We appreciate and value your trust - we are blessed to have such loyal customers.

To those that have, or may know someone with, the need for a refreshing approach to onsite outsourcing, call me personally at (212) 204-1193. Bottom line: Our clients love us and you will too. It doesn't hurt to look and I promise we can help you to improve.

Look out to the remainder of 2015!!!  Where you can count on us to show you new possibilities, new revenue and all the happiness and peace of mind you’ve come to expect from FSO.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Finally: An Outsourcing Partner Who Won’t Disappoint You

"We have the service delivery expertise to create a customer experience unlike any other."

Good Morning Folks,

I hope everyone had a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend.

It’s rare that I make a sales pitch for us here, but we have been so well-received in recent presentations and I get so frustrated when I see how disappointed the companies I meet with are with their incumbent suppliers, knowing of the great people we have on-board and how much better life and business could be partnering with FSO. So here I go.

We've been on Inc. 500’s Fastest Growing Companies in America three years and running.  Why?

225 of biggest and most exciting innovative on the planet trust us with their back and front office business processes. Every single one of those clients chose us after being disappointed with their incumbent partner. The primary benefits that attract them to FSO are better technology, customer service and hospitality best practices that are unequalled.

Through our unique personal, passionate and productive culture, hands-on management and recipe for success that combines People + Technology + Solutions, we free clients to focus on their core business more efficiently.

The majority of day-to-day oversight of these non-core, yet mission-critical functions rests in the hands of FSO, so you eliminate much of the time otherwise spent maintaining the infrastructure, handling HR issues and adding more managers to handle the load.

We have the service delivery expertise to create a customer experience unlike any other. We focus on motivating and driving the hourly employee to deliver great service with a skip to their step, twinkle in the eye and fire in the belly. We excel at attracting and retaining inspired and passionate people with performance based rewards and opportunities for advancement.

We provide unlimited training and recognition to our field employees: We guide, mentor, teach and support them. We show them they matter and are important.

• Messenger Internship Program (MIP): Providing each member with invaluable skills to further their careers.

• Future Leaders Program (FLP): Identifies and develops business leaders across the FSO enterprise.

• Mitch Institute of Training (MIT) :The Mitch legacy is training; whether with FSO for 2 months or 20 years we strive to teach skills valuable for role and everyday life.

• Masters Of Our Trade (MOOT) Group: Delivering exceptional onsite outsourcing services is based on the delivery of best practices and being masters of our trade. FSO has built the strongest “think tank” in the business through the development of our Masters of our Trade (MOOT) Group.

At FSO today, you’ll find hundreds of lives transformed... people with careers, not jobs. People thriving, not just surviving.

From the first infectious smile and happy face that greets you by name in the morning, we offer an enormous opportunity to (re) imagine and reinvigorate your workplace with People + Solutions + Technology from FSO.

Throw Back Thursday: "Sitting Back On Your Laurels Is A Sure Fire Way To Lose In The Long Run"

"Most employees think of their employer's budget as a bottomless pit and can be very careless spending money that's not theirs. But you should manage their budget as if it's your own wallet."

Good Morning Folks,

As I begin my third year blogging, we are looking back at some of my favorite posts. So for a Throw Back Thursday may I reprise a post from last year showcasing the autonomy every single FSO employee no matter rank or position, is empowered with to make a difference for you. We want our folks to be proactive always looking for new, better and more efficient ways of doing things. Here's the post from April 2014:

==> Shout Out Wednesday: Measurable results. Value add. I love it!

For years my brand has represented perfection. It has been synonymous with the best service and best people ever. 

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?"

Today I wanted to salute one of our FSO rockstars who put this promise to practice. He put together the list cost savings initiatives and ideas that follows. 

They were all truly worth reviewing, reading and most importantly ACTING upon. Not only do they address cost savings, but they are also environmentally sound. I really appreciate that.

We know that productivity is about all about delivering quality and value and working smart. (With a smile!)  This list exemplifies the value of hiring a true STRATEGIC partner who never stops looking out for you, who always take that extra second to ask and then ACT! 

In his words, here are some things our star does day to day with keeping costs in mind:

==> Reuse Boxes for shipping. Boxes from Reprographics Dept or Boxes from Vendors and Staples reuse them for shipping INSTEAD OF ORDERING BOXES WHICH CAN BE COSTLY.

==> Ship via UPS Ground when possible. In most cases it is fast and cheaper!

==> A lot of time I use pens from vendors give us pens. I make good use of those pens and keep them until no longer good to use. Imagine where most employees take their employers pens home without a second thought, if everyone from FSO brought their own pen to work and used that pen. Money would be saved.

==> I try to use my cell phone when making personal calls. I want to be respectful of that.

==> I think when wanting to get something done and it may involve usage of the company the simple thing to do is ask your boss or supervisor instead of just doing it.

==> Using brown packing paper instead of bubble wrap.

==> Also reuse packing from incoming shipments.

==> I feel the less we have  around our desk areas the better I feel. Keep things simple and neat.

==> When setting people up with UPS Campus Ship, I set it up so that the option to ship via UPS can be defaulted to shipping UPS Ground but the other options are still there.

==>  find that since there is less to ship to the Tampa, Fla Office I will just mail it via USPS Mail instead of UPS.

==> We use to ship Tampa Mail via UPS 2nd Day Air. When I ship now I ship UPS Ground.

==> Something I should do is bring my own cup in for Tea instead of using the paper cups all the time. Something I should do!!!!

==> Use less printing and do more online. This is something I need to do. It is helpful to print things out for updating the shipping system but less printing would be helpful by all.

==> Turn lights off!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you how many times I have walked by desks and cubes and work areas where no one is there but desk and cube lights are burning away. Shut lights off when not in use.

==>  Recycle. People should be more aware of what they throw in the trash. Is it trash??? Is it plastic, Metal, Batteries, Bottles, Cans, Paper??? Can these items go to recycling. Think Green!

==> Avoid future Healthcare Concerns. Think Organic!!!

These are excellent ideas, and very valid points. Most employees think of their employer's budget as a bottomless pit and can be very careless spending money that's not theirs. But you should manage their budget as if it's your own wallet.

Not only do these ideas address cost savings, but they are environmentally sound. I think the last point about Healthcare always deserves more attention then companies pay to it. As the expression goes, "if you don't have your health"….

Perhaps the real takeaway is this: "don’t romanticize the past of your business. Just because something worked 5 or 10 years ago doesn’t mean it will work in the future. You have to constantly change as the world changes, and sitting back on your laurels is a sure fire way to lose in the long run."

There is great merit in exploring the talents demonstrated here, developing them, encouraging them in every employee  and taking them to the next level. And bringing out the best in this often forgotten hourly demographic is where FSO stands apart.

With good leadership, as we prove every day, regular people can accomplish greatness when they work together as a team doing what they do best. 

Indeed - the mark of a true leader is getting others to perform beyond their own expectations. Parents and sports coaches alike can agree to this. 

Measurable results. Value add. I love it. 

Now lets put more ideas into action that I'll look forward to sharing right here.

Inspire a Nation, Fulfill Dreams and Love Life!

Shout-Out Wednesday: Looking Back On Employee Accolades Received On This Blog's Second Anniversary

"Every day, people search for something that motivates them. Things to get them out of bed, things to get them pumped up, things to help them make it through the day and so much more! 

What a great thing to say about your job!"

Good Morning Folks,

Every day, the Executive Leadership Team receives countless messages from our clients telling us about the fantastic deeds all of you are doing. This is what sets us apart, something no other company can brag about, the PERSONAL, PASSIONATE and PRODUCTIVE approach we take in everything we do. 

On the occasion of my second "Blogiversary" we look back on the past 24 "Shout-Out" posts and highlight some of the great accolades our folks are receiving from the clients who have bestowed us the privilege of serving them:

"Thank for always being proactive when helping with setting up for Induction. I can always count on you to get the job done."

"I wanted to let you know that your staff of Ron, Rob, Kevin and Tyrone have been so very accommodating and helpful during this 'busy tax season' and during the year. I can't thank them enough for moving boxes from floor to floor, obtaining the many empty boxes needed and anything else I ask of them."

"Kaydeon has always gone above and beyond in a time crunching matter, whether related to locating and securing a conference room, or providing a GoToMeeting, or simply providing some necessary information."

"Friendly, precise, swift in their care that we get packages, and clearly committed to making sure we have our work materials right away, as soon as humanly possible knowing print deadlines are lurking. They are so professional and so eager and friendly and personable." ~~New York Times

 "I Would Like To Nominate Matthew For A Nobel Prize For Hospitality"

"My job is made easier knowing FSO is there to cover some key functional; areas in the event of a severe weather emergency and service to our clients will not be affected. Well done."

"I've been working at PwC for almost 6 years now. Recently due to changes in the firm, FSO has taken over providing Office Service support. One of the changes is now we have a greeter at the top of the escalators. Well, early on I took a moment to meet Chad, our morning greeter. He was so welcoming, that big smile and friendly hello, it made me just want to introduce myself. Now every day, I get that same warm hello, regardless of how cold it is outside and it just helps me start my day off right. Chad has called me by name since our introduction and we often have a moment of chatting before I head up to work. It is a very pleasant experience. I wanted to let you know that Chad is making a difference in my world, starting my day off with a smile. And while others may not say so, I'm sure he is making a difference in their world as well."

"I wanted to extend a huge thanks to you and Kevin for the work you did for me tonight. The ability for you two to turn around my presentation materials was absolutely clutch. Your help is so significant to me and us as a firm."

"Everybody at UniCredit loves Jon so much. He has such a great attitude, is accommodating, reliable, and flexible. I have been told quite a few times in conversation by the most difficult and detail orientated people how wonderful they think he is. He is a hard worker with a down to earth but professional personality. This guy is going places for sure!!" 

"We had less than a month to do what the Chairman had been planning for a year…I know I was driving many of you nuts with my detail obsessing…we had a limited budget….and a space that can be challenging…… and it all didn’t just work … IT ROCKED! I was very proud – we have the best outsourced team in the industry!!!!!


Your guys are amazing. All of them! They truly go above and beyond, coming in early for 7:30am set up to just delivering the white glove service that elicits comments (from clients and hosts ) such as “flawless”

"Thank You Very Much For Staying Until 3:30 Am To Make Sure The Job Was Done And Ready For The Big Meeting” 

"You were the first ones in office and last to leave, and you did it all with a smile. It is always such a pleasure to work with such a hard working & well organized team."


"I appreciate you all hustling over the past couple hours to help us reserve the room, coordinating to get the room setup properly, checking our remote connectivity to the MS network, etc.  All of your flawlessly executed contributions this morning gave us a strong foundation to have a successful meeting."

"I took a moment to meet Chad, our morning greeter. He was so welcoming, that big smile and friendly hello, it made me just want to introduce myself. Now every day, I get that same warm hello, regardless of how hot it is outside and it just helps me start my day off right. I wanted to let you know that Chad is making a difference in my world, starting my day off with a smile."

"The spiral bound books were delivered on time, in perfect condition. Honestly, they really went over and above to get this done for us. To send it to Staples or Kinkos would have cost over $1,100.00."

"He went the extra mile and in doing so he saved Kenneth Cole over $1000.00 in shipping charges."

"It's in the great FSO spirit that makes me feel accomplished each and every day when I can make someones life that much easier while at work. Our clients at Y&R are always on my mind, and servicing them is something I live, breathe, and FEEL, and I want them to FEEL it too! " ~~FSO's Ben @Y&R

"Talmas, Many thanks for resolving my VDU issues so promptly and upgrading my set-up. It has really boosted my productivity and the ease with which I can now work. And as a bonus, you even fixed my laptops network problem! Super star!"

As always, I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued commitment to exceeding the expectations of our clients. 

You, our employees, are the heart and soul of FSO. As we continue to grow and spread our message across the country, the stories of your exceptional performance and dedication to making sure all of our clients are treated in that special FSO fashion grows along with us.  

Thanks fort taking the time to write to me about these gifted employees. I am always eager to hear more about how we are doing.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer
