Technology Has Created a Shift. We Are Shifting Too.

Welcome to 2015 where we at FSO are focused on a very clear business model of People + Solutions, + Technology with greater energy, investment, smarts and focus than ever before. 

Good Morning Folks,

We have had an outstanding two weeks to start the year…. Recognition… Management Meetings.. goals and objectives for 2015, new focus on site staff, field ops focused like never before on owning the client, new messaging and loving the employees and much much more. 

Look out to 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.

We express this in three simple buckets People + Solutions + Technology. 

+ People
People have always been our strength and focus and remain the foundation upon which to build every service offering. Our strategy is straightforward - we team the latest technologies with a highly trained, motivated, team oriented, passionate people who care about delivering the FSO Experience and doing a great job for our clients. We will stand out from the crowd with the most comprehensive training, awards and recognition programs in the industry and will be the happiest place to work. FSO’s employees will always have that “twinkle in the eye, skip in the step, fire in the belly,” which ultimately results in exceptional service delivery. 

+ Solutions
Outsourcing is increasingly considered to be a strategic decision. By pairing People + Solutions + Technology, FSO is adding real innovation to outsourcing to deliver value added services and gain additional revenue. Outsourcing is no longer just about saving costs. FSO provides operational expertise, service lines, resources and capabilities many companies do not possess and we are committed to challenging our clients to open their minds to the world of possibilities in the strategic and tactical running of their business.

+Technology
New technologies can have revolutionary impacts with widespread and unexpected benefits. But how technology adds value to the people solutions and advice we provide is what sets FSO apart. With the introduction of BlueSky Solutions, powered by Salesforce.com, we have many unique offerings in the market and competitive advantages which delivers a unique level of strategic support and advice for our clients. 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.

My commitment is to be out in the field amongst our employees and clients every single day to ensure that his personal touch and commitment to them is being felt and experienced by all. 

For those who are not part of the FSO family and whose Outsourcing Contract is up for renewal, take the time to figure out a switch is right for you and your project. You may decide it’s not- in which case you just saved yourself a TON of time.

Call me directly at 212.204.1193 and I will be glad to speak with you directly.

Thanks for being with me on this amazing journey. I am looking forward to a bright future together.. 


Hugs all around,

Mitchell D. Weiner

Inspire ME Friday: It's FSO That Makes A Difference And You Lead The Charge.

It May Be Winter Outside.
But In Our Hearts At FSO, It's Always Spring.

“Finally, An Outsourcing Partner That Really Understands Me.”

Good Morning Folks,

I wanted to start this sub-zero Friday morning with a BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE FRONT OF HOUSE AND OFFICE SERVICES

It’s great to see the happiness, hospitality and PERSONAL TOUCH.

Since we outsource our Front of House team from ourselves, I want to brag about it today and tell you why it's deserved all that attention and kudos... why we’re different and so special.


If your company doesn't have that "vibe" from the moment your guests arrive, you may be putting your brand reputation at stake. How goes that saying "you never get a second chance to make  first impression."


Our front of house is the storefront for your organization. Our team brings your brand values to life and make visitors feel warmly welcomed. We deliver high-quality visitor experiences that perfectly reflect your values.

Lunch on me today for the entire front house team and thanks for the welcome home cards, notes and more.. it makes a huge difference.. you should all be proud…. THANK YOU!

This week I was reflecting and made some notes from the skies 37,000 above the ground.

So the Mitch brand. So the FSO brand. So the industry. So the reason people outsource. So the reason FSO exists. So it's in Mitch's heart. So it's what it's all about. 

OUR PEOPLE. They are our world. Our life. You're what customers buy and what I owe to my career for each and every day. And I believe you do the same. 

Our world starts with spotting talent every day in our lives. Think about how many of you I spotted. We both felt it and I am blessed to have you. 

The fundamentals of the outsourcing business starts with finding the talent and building the bench. And training that bench every day so they are ready to go at any given moment. To pump them up and provide them with career aspirations and to full fill dreams. 

And when Dean or Jim need PEOPLE NATIONALLY this teams says to your Future Leaders Team (FLT) person. I time to go. And you are ready. The fundamentals of our business. 

To hire. To train. To inspire. To provide a dream come true and to hold them tight. Hug them. Kiss them and show them we care. 

This is what our clients buy. Are you all familiar with the messenger training? It is the basics of how we run the outsourcing business and every single person who comes to work here has to know what our business is. What our people do for clients. And what we do for people.

I co founded this industry over 20 years ago. And with help of many have made it better year after year. 

Training.  Hospitality.  Happiness. It's in my heart and nothing is going to get in the way. 

No turning back. The time has arrived. We will do the most innovative, to creative new solutions to wow our staff and impress our clients.

But we will do more than the fundamentals. We will (re) imagine what the market is waiting for and blow the competitors away. FLT Is alive and well. And look out because we are going to enlist you. 

I am pumped. Excited. And ready to go. 

Be inspired. Power of focus and positive energy. It's FSO that makes a difference and you lead the charge. 

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Rockstars: "Your Guys Were All Over It! Courteous. Timely. Relevant. Don’t Go Anywhere.”

"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

Good Morning Folks,

Our clients love what we are doing for them. When they take time to write like this after months of being let down by their former suppliers, it is testament to what I've been saying all along: At FSO, our difference is people. They bring a passion for hospitality and service that just can't be faked or duplicated.

Everyone on the team knows their position and role and they work in harmony to execute greatness. That is what FSO is all about – a perfect harmony of perfection and greatness.   

We have won and continue to win because we make everything PERSONAL – this is what attracts great talent to FSO, and why prospects have chosen FSO and why our clients retain us – not because we have are trying to push equipment and not because we are this massive bureaucratic organization that moves as slow as a snail.  

People want to be part of FSO as clients and employees because we are passionate and we CARE about what it means to be there for them.

==> Hear it direct from our client's mouths:

Belinda, Crystal Point

"I wanted to let you know that I was impressed by Belind's ability to hold down the front desk on Sunday.  I watched as she managed 3 things at once and still maintained 

awareness of lobby activities."

Jay D, Caplin &  Drysdale
"Thank you very much and staying until 3:30 am to make sure the copy job was done and ready for the big EO meeting this morning." 

A HUGE THANK YOU to the guys at Roberts & Holland: Eddie C and Andre 

"Andre and particularly Eddie have performed above and beyond the call of duty assisting in a priority project with a time sensitive deadline.  

You guys have gone above & beyond and the client has recognized your efforts. THANKs for taking pride in your work and representing the FSO brand."

Steve Guyewski, Eni
"Steven, thank you for the fantastic identification of the Fire Warden photo! I was expecting you to just scribble names right on the paper, and instead you provided a typed, complete listing. Thank you!! You made my job so much easier. We are going to put these slides on Eni TV, but they won’t be broadcast until Oct 15. Although we have all the names and photos, we need to get the same from Alaska and the offshore folks. They aren’t quite as efficient as we are"



Itau Team
"Just to let you know that I always get the best of service from them all."

Saleem, Capco

"Thanks Saleem for your hard work and going the extra steps to make sure all transactions on my card are accounted for and properly coded for easier processing for Eleny. You really did a good job for the first time of doing this."

Chad Dookie, Capco

Hi Chad, Marlene Desravines has thanked you through CapInTouch

Thank you so much for your assistance in resolving my computer system issues.

Rajesh Basra, Commerzbank
"I attached emails from a close call last night; however your guys were all over it! Rockstar!”

Adrieanne, Liquidnet
"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how wonderful Adrieanne is. She is always thinking about her floor and what can she do to make our day extra special. She is always happy and smiling and talkative and I think we all feel like she is part of our floor, not like someone who keeps stuff together but part of the team.  Anyway… I know people are always saying negative things about a variety of stuff. So I wanted to make sure you heard something good and that you knew that she is fantastic!"

FSO Office Service, HQ Team

"I would like to thank office services as well for doing a great job with preparation leading up into the meeting and staying late to ensure the office was back up to standard by the morning. We could not have had a successful meeting setup without your help!"

Demetrius and Ben, Y&R

"Pleasure to meet you today. I love Ben being in our office. His position is one of those perks that I always wished my other agencies offered. He’s Courteous. Timely. Relevant. He’s great. Don’t let him go anywhere else. Glad he’s on the team."

Today we've heard from clients about the qualities and skillets that will define our future leaders. Each promotion from within starts with client recognition such as we've witnessed here today.

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

Today The Kudos Are For Me: "Today is going to be an AWESOME day, today."

"No matter what happens today, I will make a difference, in whatever I do."

Good Morning Folks,

Every Wednesday I like to share letters we get from clients discussing the above and beyond service our employees are providing them.

Past editions of those can be found here (scroll back) and will continue next week.

Instead, here is an email shout out that one our employees sent to me:

Good morning and happy Wednesday Mitch

I love it. LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. That's so true and it speaks to why I get up every morning, with hope and expectation. Today is going to be an AWESOME day, today.

No matter what happens today, I will make a difference, in whatever I do.

So then I am thinking and it came to me in a flash NCIS, a favorite TV program of mine and now I won't forget, FSO- LCIS. LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT .

Thank you so much Mitch, for your LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. I truly appreciate you and what you are doing for us. Keep up the great work, I am working with you, on this journey and adventure, beyond 2020.’

~~ Christian

If this sounds incredible and impressive to the forgotten hourly employees stuck in dead-end jobs elsewhere, and the kind of career path and commitment you would like to be assured in return for your investment working hard every day, please send your resume to Kshepherd (at) fso-outsourcing.com.

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.

I will always be that guy in the space who cares enough to take care of the hourly employee from the middle manager down. Big companies are too big to care – to teach these employees, to embrace them, to help them create lasting careers.

And that's not only what makes FSO different, it makes us BETTER.

Thanks fort taking the time to write to me about our gifted employees. I am always eager to hear more about how we are doing an d look forward to sharing the mail next Wednesday.

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

==> Wealth, Power, and Success

"So, how can you find more success, peace, and happiness in your life? You have to make a decision. The decision is whether to pursue your passion and enjoy it and be at peace with that path in life … even if you never make much money doing it."

Good Morning Folks,

What a beautiful fall, pumpkin picking weekend it was on Long Island.. amazing.. chilly, quiet, peaceful, and more.. a day full of inspiration and spirituality.

I was catching up on my reading file links this weekend and really liked this piece by ace copywriter Bob Bly. As Bob sees it, there are 6 factors responsible for any individual’s success or lack thereof, especially in business and wealth building.

They are:

==> Aptitude … 
some people gravitate towards activities that make money (e.g., they are interested in investing or business) – while others are naturally attracted to fields that are less lucrative (e.g., poetry, pottery).

==> Hard work … 
some people are willing to put in grueling hours to achieve great wealth and material abundance. Others are not willing to sacrifice their hours for dollars, and would rather spend their time in other ways, from playing golf to going camping with their kids.

==> Luck … 
no matter how much of a technical genius or savvy businessman Bill Gates is, a lot of his success was largely the result of being in the right place at the right time.

==> Perseverance … 
many rich and successful people got that way simply because they persisted vs. the vast majority who give up at the first roadblock or failure.

==> Brains … 
being smart – either in the classic I.Q. smart or street smarts – is a decided advantage. And despite what our Constitution says, not all of us are born equal in this regard.

==> Talent … 
no matter how much I want it or how much I train, there is no chance on Earth of me becoming the next American Idol – or even runner-up.

All of these factors obviously have a great effect on the course of your life. But of these, I believe aptitude is the most important – and unfortunately, the one least under our control. I mean: you like what you like.

You read about those guys on Wall Street with their million-dollar bonuses. And maybe you turn green with envy. But in your mind you know — and say to yourself — “Hey, that ain’t for me.”

The comforting old saying motivational speakers love to spout is that “if you pursue your passion, the money will come.” Sadly, this often isn’t true.

My friend SB pursued his passion as a poet for over 40 years. He had dozens of his poems published in magazines. But he is neither rich nor famous – although I believe (but don’t know for certain) that SB is pretty happy.

So, how can you find more success, peace, and happiness in your life? You have to make a decision. The decision is whether to pursue your passion and enjoy it and be at peace with that path in life … even if you never make much money doing it.

Or, you can decide that your primary goal is money; i.e., You want to be rich, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen – reasoning that once you are rich, then you can afford to indulge in your passions.

Which path have you chosen — and why?

Have a GREAT Day and LOVE Life!

Everybody is Feeling The FSO Experience

"Her smiling personality and professionalism is always shining when she greets our guests and our employees and she is always willing to take the extra step to assist others when she can. If your company engages in an employee incentive program such as “Employee of the Month” I would highly recommend Kelly."

Good Morning Folks,

Any job you work in has the opportunity to capture both your head and your heart. When a business captures your head, you are fully involved with the decisions/outcomes of every business activity. When a business captures your heart you are totally passionate about how the business positively impacts people and society.

It is rare to find a job that captures both your head and your heart. However, one’s head and heart must be engaged to live a worthwhile life.

We have an amazing team of people here, and when we all come together in pursuit of happiness it’s truly magical. 

Your passion, professionalism and pride is contagious. The kudos; thanks; admiration; praise and general good will continue to flow our way.

Kelly, Brother International
"Kelly is our receptionist since April and it is a pleasure having her to meet our guests. Her smiling personality and professionalism is always shining when she greets our guests and our employees and she is always willing to take the extra step to assist others when she can. If your company engages in an employee incentive program such as “Employee of the Month” I would highly recommend Kelly."

Jeannette, FSO Floater, ARGO
"This to inform you that Jeanette was a great help to the staff here at ARGO, she worked professionally and diligently in regards to getting our Records project bar-coded and scanned and into a database. Jeanette also was involved with the organizing and filing of documents for various projects which really helped to catch up.  I am confident that she will be a great addition to any site in the FSO family. Thank you for sending such a great FSO employee to ARGO. Thanks again!!!"

Tracey & Rivera,  RKO

"I wanted to let you know that Tracy and Louie have been amazing this week.  I had two major (stressful) meetings this week that they helped me with.  The first on Tuesday with all the Litigation Partners and the second on Thursday with all the corporate Partners.  I had to have a lot of duplicating done (of a confidential nature) and they not only completed everything, but were proactive in seeking the work, helping with last minute changes ,  staying late to complete it and keeping me up to date every step of the way. They really went above and beyond.  Their work product was excellent and I could not have done it without them."

Desiree, eni Petroleum
"On behalf of the eni Petroleum SEQ Department, it is my pleasure to report a JOB WELL DONE for Ms. Desiree . One of our SEQ Managers were waiting on a rush PPE order to be delivered to the Houston office. The tracking indicated the order would not be at our location in time for the Manager to receive it. Ms. D used her knowledge of the shipper’s procedures and schedules and found a way to make certain our Manager received his package on time. I feel Ms. D deserves recognition for going above regular duty, sharing concern about our dilemma and doing what she knew how to do to solve our problem. Thank you again Desi for your work at eni Peteroleum! Your attention to safety and getting the project competed in a timely manner is noticed and appreciated. Thank you again for JOB WELL DONE!" 

Kevin Jackson, ASME
"I'd like to extend my thanks as well. And a special acknowledgement to Kevin, who left his home phone number with the messenger, got a call at 630 this morning and came to the office by 7.  Bravo team."

"Thank you all for coming together so quickly to help out. It is really appreciated."

Facilities & Mailroom Staff, ASME
"All- Since you all are such a huge help (facilities &mailroom staff), I have ordered a catered lunch for you all, this coming Monday the 15th at noon. Enjoy!"

Y&R TEAM
"We had less than a month to do what WPP 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 team in the industry!!!!!"

CAPCO TEAM

"I just wanted to thank facilities and reception for the amazing help they are providing to get an ATP L&D Social Event underway for today. Facilities were so kind to helping with preparations (set up the Innovation Lab, obtain required materials, etc.) and Reception was able to help with ordering food and beverages at a discounted price too! It's always been a pleasure to speak with them and their thoughtfulness and attentiveness to helping manage and operate this event has been nothing short of amazing. Again, thank you so much and best regards,"

Saleem, Capco

"Would like to thank Saleem for his unwavering dedication & professionalism... always eager to help in a pinch, accommodates any situation, and does it with a smile.  Really appreciate all you do. THANKS!"

It's clear from these kudos that everyone on the team knows their position and role and they work in harmony to execute greatness. That is what FSO is all about – a perfect harmony of perfection and greatness.

Great people like those featured above today want to be part of FSO as clients and employees because we are passionate and we CARE about what it means to be there for them.

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.
