Welcome to the new and improved website for The Modern Concierge!
As a team of concierges, event planners and HR professionals, our staff works hard to provide services and information that bring a better sense of balance to work and life. Our motto is Redefining Work-Life Balance and we strive everyday to help our clients achieve this.
We know that finding the balance between work and our personal/family life is not always easy - but it is possible, especially with guidance and support. This blog will provide a forum for The Modern Concierge staff, clients and friends (and even first time visitors), to share how we pursue this lofty goal. Through a combination of our own real-life experiences, first-hand knowledge gained by working with our clients, and cutting-edge information based on research studies, we hope we can keep you inspired in your search for balance.

Concierge Overload??
Is anyone else feeling like the word Concierge is being overused? I just saw a commercial for a car insurance company that is now offering a “personal concierge” to their customers in times of an accident or insurance need. Interesting concept, but I’m willing to bet that the person that used to be called a “customer representative” is the exact same person now being called a “personal concierge.” The question remains- is your personal auto insurance concierge really looking out for your best interests, or the interests of their employer? Concierges should have no obligation to anyone other than their clients. At The Modern Concierge, our interest is to benefit our customers, and we will find the best way, the best people and the best partners to meet your needs and serve your interests – we firmly believe that a concierge should be more than just a fancy name for the person who answers the phone.
