so uh, i was telling @ishibooty about my daydreams and the fact that somehow in two of these scenarios, marcus ends up joining libra, and all of a sudden it was 5am and i had 3k words of summary of marcus’ arc for one of them

there are two parts to it. this was supposed to be a side-plot. why am i like this

anyway enjoy my ramblings i guess

------------------------------------

Mushroom arc

Marcus and Leo meet at the hospital (Daniel came to visit/interrogate/make fun of Steven and kicked Leo out of the room) and leave a good impression on each other. (“So uh, are you also a cop ?” “Why does everyone assume that ? Is it my name ??”)

Later, Libra investigates on a drug ring. Because the drug seems to incorporate magic in its fabrication, making it as potent on humans as well as all sorts of beyondians, Leo is sent alongside Zapp to get a sample and get a closer look and maybe identify the spellcaster or something. Marcus is in the club and makes himself known, and it turns out he is part of the gang. Zapp and Leo get invited to a private room and meet some of the higher-ups (Marcus included), buy their sample, and are then asked to breathe into a container, of which they are assured it is perfectly safe, just a security measure. Since murdering clients seems like a pretty bad business plan for a drug ring, the duo does what they’re asked. They pass out and wake up in the club, with no memory of the past 30 minutes.

Later, Leo is greeted by Marcus at Diane’s Diner and they have a chat, during which Leo feels like he met Marcus recently but can’t seem to place it ? Marcus makes fun of him, asks if Leo has been hanging with Mushroom beyondians and at Leo’s confusion, mentions the amnesic effects of their spores.

Leo comes back to Libra all “MOM HOLY FUCK”, and the team decide to investigate that memory-erasing spore thing. Also one of Steven’s “contacts” discouraged him from looking deeper into the drug ring geez I wonder why that might be.

In parallel to that whole investigating, Leo goes to eat out with Nej, accidentally bumps into Marcus, and they somehow become a trio of burger pals ? (“wait what do you mean you sold Nej burgers for profit” “it’s money my dude”) Hanging out together during lunch break regularly, all that jam. At some point, following Leo and Marcus complaining about their respective workplaces and co-workers (preluded by Marcus being all like “work ? like, part-time ? aren’t you in high school ?” “… I’m 21…” (quietly) “what the fuck”), Nej mentions having an actual job but can’t seem to remember it. Cue laugh track I guess.

Plot twist it’s not funny it’s actually tragic because the place Nej works at is the spore extraction factory that serves as the center of that Mushroom traffic. Chain, Zapp, and Leo storm the place, Leo gets beaten up, Nej is traumatized, the Mushroom beyondians are evacuated, the building is burned down and so are the spores. Meanwhile, Marcus is allowed for the first time into the laboratory, meets the spellcaster, looks around the place and asks non-suspicious questions, he’s just curious and enthusiastic and kind of dumb in his cleverness but that’s just how Marcus is haha look at him, such a good and loyal guy (we hope).

Someone caught Leo and Zapp on tape while they destroyed the factory and since Marcus is friends with Leo, it’s a bit uhhhhhhh suspicious ? Marcus is all “do I look like I have control over whatever every single one of my friends does ?”, the Chief goes “okay well, would you fucking mind getting that kid over here so we can know where he learned about the spore factory ?”, and so Marcus goes to do just that.

Except he doesn’t. What he does is go see Leo at the hospital, offers to go on a walk in the hospital park, covertly gives Leo a vial of his own blood, and tells him to act like they’re fighting and then run away and bring the vial to Daniel. He then makes as if to grab Leo to take him with him.

Leo knees him in the dick and books it. The gang guy dispatched to make sure Marcus actually did his job watches and comes to the conclusion that Marcus is on their side because, like, yeah.

When he gets the news and the blood, Daniel calls the narc brigade to start the tracking, grabs Leo, gets in the car, and starts driving. The “tracking” is actually blood magic, the vial of blood Marcus gave Leo reacting to sigils he left at the lab and even on the spellcaster and forming spikes in the direction of it all. Turns out Marcus was an undercover narc looking to get his hands on the spellcaster (drug labs are rather easy to make, having a magic user able to apply their knowledge to that kind of craft is a lot less common).

Of course when magic is activated, it risks being picked up on by other magic users, so any intervention needs to be swift, and also Marcus seems to have been under some suspicion (why else would he ask Leo to serve as a middle-man) so things need to move real fast. (“wait so you’re going on a drug busting operation with a civilian in your car ? I know I said I wanted to know what the hell is going on but that’s kind of, like, uhhh” “you’re holding the vial and giving me the directions, I can’t do that while driving”)

Anyway, most of the gang is arrested, Marcus ends up in the hospital because he saw some kids crossing the road without watching and jumped in to save them, ironically saving him from being exposed as a cop to the underworld, and Leo later apologizes for kneeing him in the dick. End of arc

 ------------------------------------

Boss arc

Marcus takes advantage of his old gang being disbanded, and of him still looking like a regular crime guy, to join another, bigger group. The Boss welcomes him with open arms because 1) Marcus sells himself really well (“yo my brother’s a lieutenant of police, I got some intel”) and 2) they actually knew each other before the Collapse, and while Marcus never worked for him, the Boss has a lot of respect for him.

The burger trio still hangs out together, and sometimes Marcus also hangs out with Leo alone. It’s a nice break from work for Marcus honestly, Leo is a chill guy, and it’s great to not have to pretend to be someone else, with someone who isn’t Daniel, for once. And for Leo it’s also a nice break from the usual Libra madness. They share wacky stories, some gossip, one time Marcus arrives like “LEO HOLY FUCK” because he spotted Steven at Daniel’s flat and they both lose their shit. They also get a little more real sometimes I mean, both of them have some heavy baggage, and Marcus doesn’t have a lot of emotional support outside of his brother (who is married to his work and not great at emotions himself). In short, they’re friends.

Anyway, Leo may or may not be developing a crush – whatever the truth is, Zapp has decided to go on Big Brother mode and drag Zed along to stalk Marcus and make sure he’s an okay guy. (“are you sure this is necessary ?” “this is HL, and this is Leo, he’s like, a trouble magnet ! and if things turn out badly, guess who will have to deal with the fallout ?” “… you actually care, don’t you” “shut up !”) Of course, Marcus publicly performs as a Crime Guy, so that’s a little… well…

Zapp and Zed follow Marcus to a shady pub where Marcus has a meeting with the Boss (“wait isn’t this guy like, a crime lord” “god fucking dammit”), get spotted, but since Marcus isn’t about to out them as Libra if he can avoid it, he just ironically buys them a drink. And that’s how a hot mess and a merman end up sharing a table with a Crime Guy and a Crime Lord. Zapp, always the diplomat, asks Marcus to break up with Leo. Marcus is obviously very confused because, like, they’re not ??? A thing ??? So Zapp instead tells him to not start a thing, while Zed sits there nervously and very obviously tries to not look at the Boss.

Marcus laughs it off, but he ends up a little shaken by the encounter honestly, not because Zapp said anything particularly clever, but because it echoes doubts he’s been holding about himself for a while now. He’s been doing his job for quite a long time, has done quite a lot of shitty things to keep his cover up, and he – he isn’t quite sure he’s really helping. Sure, he’s lead to the dismantling of some drug rings, but was it worth it ? If he looks at what he did for the past years, how exactly is he different from the people he targets ?

Also there’s like, Collapse trauma, which in his case is also closely related to that whole issue. For three days, Marcus walked around with a suitcase of “merchandise” from whatever his gang was at the time, doing his best to survive and get that thing where he was supposed to get it and not lose it and not act like a servant of the people who would actually help, or try to help at least. Marcus made it out of the Collapse with his cover intact, his gang mostly dead, and a suitcase full of shit he didn’t know what to do with because the people he was supposed to bring it to died and he did it all for nothing. He let people die for nothing.

And he does feel a kinship with some of his “co-workers”. He’s friend with some of them. He slept with one of them, at a time when he had just lost whatever purpose he’d had for the three days the Collapse lasted, at a time when he couldn’t get in touch with his family and make sure they were alive and he was just so desperate for someone he knew, for some human warmth, for whatever comfort he could get. And the Boss (at the time not his boss, but someone he knew and who made business with whoever he used to work for) was kind and praised his determination and good work and just held him with no judgement.

Marcus enjoys the Boss’s company. What happened after the Collapse was a one-off thing, but they’ve been in touch ever since, drinking out sometimes, sharing some quiet comfort together. The Boss introduced Marcus to a new group in exchange for his merchandise. The Boss keeps on vouching for him, trusts him, and Marcus almost feels a little guilty.

He feels guilty a lot, he finds, whether that be when he enjoys drinking with his co-workers or when he works at home on a spell that would identify the caster in charge of their drug.

One time, Steven comes to the Boss with a deal, information for whatever price the Boss gives and Marcus sits there, at the Boss’ right, watches Steven and the apparent friendship between him and the Boss and thinks “ah”. Same fucked up hat, same dilemma, same constant walking a line you can barely see.

At Daniel’s place (Steven has been there a lot more often lately, and Marcus a lot less, but they still end up meeting at times), neither of them mention that moment of recognition. But Marcus mentions being a little tired, and Steven half-jokingly offers him a place in Libra, should he ever want a change of pace.

And Marcus thinks maybe, just maybe, this would be better. Maybe he could help, really help, the way he wants to. He just needs to finish this job. Just this one job.

It’s not that he means to isolate himself, he just really needs to figure this spell out, and anyway Zapp was exposed as Libra and that brought suspicion on Marcus because of the whole “don’t date my friend/colleague” incident and while the Boss trusts him, there’s this one guy who has some amazing instincts (and maybe holds a grudge for that time Marcus beat him up for trying to sell stuff to kids), and that means hanging out with Leo is probably a terrible idea. And he has work. And he is so, so tired. He has nightmares, too, a little more than usual. Maybe more than that.

It’s a good thing that there are spells offering protection against nightmares, really, a good thing there are spells that provide energy too. Marcus has a rule against ever consuming something he sells, but he’s been so tired lately that he gets close. But there are spells for sleep that work better than alcohol, and spells for energy that work better than cocaine, with none of the less appreciable side-effects, and it’s a shame the only magic he knows is blood magic because drawing blood to activate them is a pain, literally. But it’s a small trade-off for the ability to keep it together and finish his work.

Leo actually seeks him out once, and while the encounter is short because Marcus can’t afford to hang out with “most definitely Libra” and tells Leo that (and also mentions Zapp and Zed’s visit because he is petty), it’s also nice to have Leo be all “if it’s because you’re afraid of getting me into trouble, friendly reminder that this is HL and that I am Libra” at first and just. Miss him, apparently ? Marcus will have to treat him to lunch once he is done.

After that, after his eyes pick up on the weird magic going on over Marcus’ shoulder, Leo looks up spells by shape, and if he was worried about Marcus avoiding him before, he is now worried for an entire different set of reasons. Square-shaped spells are reinforced exponentially, and there’s no way anything stronger than a level-1 energy spell (the equivalent of an espresso) can be healthy. Also he is going to kill Zapp.

And finally, finally, Marcus gets his breakthrough. He finalizes his identification spell, drops a little blood on the powder in the middle of the circle, and gets a signature. He can track this caster. He grabs paper, a pencil, writes down the signature sigil, calls Daniel to tell him that he got it, and – and there was a defensive spell inside the drug because of course there was and Daniel needs to come here right now.

At the time, Daniel is wrapping up a case with Klaus and Gilbert nearby, and there is no question what the fastest vehicle here is. The others can manage without him. Daniel reaches Marcus’ flat in record time, Klaus on his heels, and they find Marcus unconscious on the floor, left arm injured, in a state that seems much worse than it should be.

Daniel grabs the paper Marcus is holding, Klaus compresses the injury and carries Marcus to the car, and Gilbert drives as fast as possible in these conditions. Calls are made – to the narc brigade, sending them the signature so they can do whatever it is they need to do with it and so they can prepare to start the tracking of what Marcus left for them to find, and to Steven, who is currently free and can absolutely help in the capture of the higher-ups of the gang (Leo definitely helps spot anyone who escapes).

Luciana welcomes them with the same determination she has at all times, and the slight annoyance she always expresses at seeing Daniel, and hurries Marcus inside. “What did he take ?” she asks, and Daniel could strangle her. Marcus doesn’t take anything, he is a professional, how dare she – but he is overdosing, Klaus was the only thing keeping his heart beating during the drive there, and the powder on the floor of his flat seemed weirdly crystallized, like it had solidified and broken. And there was no weapon that could explain Marcus’ injuries. And the conclusion Daniel and Luciana reach is. Bad.

He answers Luciana’s questions, asks for a small sample of Marcus’ blood, shouts at whoever he has on the phone at the time, and goes for the car. Luciana is baffled, Gilbert readies to drive, and Klaus says he will stay at the hospital and call if anything happens. It’s not a pretty arrangement, but the look on Daniel’s face was one that promised death to anything that tried to stop him, so.

I could go into length about the capture, about the way Daniel almost killed the Boss for his words, about the return to the hospital and the gruelling wait for news, about the way the Luciana on coffee break duty told Daniel off for criticizing her devotion to her work when he isn’t much better himself, about the relief Daniel felt at it being personal, a revenge of sorts, instead of something he’s heard much too often about his being heartless. He isn’t, if Marcus died it would break him, but he simply doesn’t know any other way to deal with these emotions than drowning them in work.

Later that night, after Steven has dragged him home to make him catch at least some sleep, he will tell Steven about the death of his grandfather, back when he was a kid, about Marcus crying for an hour, about himself not shedding a single tear, instead finishing the model boat the three of them had started because he needed to do something. It will be the first time they have that kind of discussion, the first time it feels like whatever they have going on is a serious relationship. But that is a story for another time.

When Marcus wakes up, a few days later, he asks Daniel to transmit his resignation letter. His recovery will take time, months even, to get back to a functioning state both physically and mentally, but that is the first step towards that. Another step will be to buy Leo and Nej lunch when he gets discharged, reconnecting with them. And another will be to ask Steven if the job offer was serious, and to accept it.

Marcus joins Libra as a blood mage with some background information on drug dealings, and he thinks, for the first time in forever, he can help.

(Also he hasn’t told Daniel anything about that last part and he is not looking forward to that conversation, at all.)

Quadrill Tabakfabrik Linz

10 Dec 2020

Quadrill Tabakfabrik Linz, Austria

Location: Linz, Upper Austria

Design: Zechner & Zechner Architects

image by expressiv unless otherwise stated

Where once 8,000 cigarettes were produced per minute and machine, today a collaborative group fuels the city’s creative potential in the “Tabakfabrik Linz”. The listed industrial complex designed by Peter Behrens is not only seen as an urban planning opportunity for the cultural and economic future of Linz, but is also the first steel-framed building in Austria of international importance in terms of architectural history.

QUADRILL project start

In February 2021, a new phase will start in the redesign of the Tabakfabrik Linz. Then the demolition work for the QUADRILL project will begin on the non-listed part of the tobacco factory site.

New lighthouse for the tobacco factory Linz

The heart of the new quarter, which creates new living, living and working space for 1,000 additional workplaces on a floor area of 10,900 m2, is the 109 meter high QUADRILL Tower. It will be Austria’s tallest office and hotel building outside of Vienna and the new lighthouse of the Tabakfabrik Linz. Completion is planned for 2025.

The new development responds to the existing urban development of the listed Tabakfabrik and forms a prominent street front facing Gruberstrasse. At the same time, for the first time, it guarantees a high degree of permeability into the inner courtyard and thus creates a special spatial situation in the sense of an activity center in the inner courtyard of the Tabakfabrik, which will then be car-free.

The heights of the existing buildings rise gradually and reach their climax with a building over 100m high at the intersection. A publicly accessible loop – the “Behrensband” – on the roof of the base buildings connects the new buildings with the historical existing structure and generates a green ribbon with its intensive planting.

New life 24/7 – diverse uses

Four buildings are being built as part of the construction project. Different uses ensure a differentiated display that harmonizes with the already established functions in the existing buildings of the Tabakfabrik or complements them. The lower area of the high-rise houses a hotel from the ARCOTEL group with 189 rooms. Above the hotel, freely partitionable office space is designed on 16 floors. The upper end of the building is a restaurant with a sky bar and terrace with a view over the Tabakfabrik area and the Linz panorama.

In addition to the office space in the high-rise, further offices are also planned in neighboring buildings, as well as retail and restaurant areas on the two lower levels. The integration of apartments rounds off the mix of uses and avoids temporary use of the quarter. The focus here is on small apartment sizes and micro-apartments, which can also be used for short-term stays and thus form a synergy with the work areas of the Tabakfabrik in the existing building as well as with those in the new construction area on the QUADRILL area.

Old and new on a common platform

While the horizontal stripe structure dominates in the existing building, the bands in the new building dissolve into flat pixel patterns. On the high-rise, the facade develops a 3-dimensional appearance, with increasing height this depth of the facade elements decreases again and the opaque elements become narrower. These gradients in the facade develop both a horizontal and vertical dynamic, which gives the Quadrill project a very special aesthetic.

The connection of the new buildings with the historical partr via the so-called “Behrens-Band” is emphasized by the historical material, namely clinker. In this way, a base is created that develops from the existing buildings and forms a common platform for the 4 new components. The clinker structure of the individual stones is used to create a lively and varied image of the wall surfaces.

QUADRILL Tabakfabrik Linz – Building Information

• Client: Bodner-Gruppe, Kufstein • Architect / Generalplanner: Zechner & Zechner ZTGmbH, Vienna • Start of construction: Spring 2021 • Completion: 2025 • The building ensemble comprises a total of four components • Office 18,000 m², retail 3,000 m², gastronomy 1,000 m², residential 8,400 m², hotel 189 rooms with seminar center

History of Virtual Assistants

The Internet has changed the way we live and work tremendously. Online jobs are experiencing a boom nowadays as Internet coverage and smartphone usage keeps increasing globally, by the second. Technology has become so powerful that even our concept of work has changed. More and more professionals are opting for a flexible, work from home job that allows them to seamlessly connect their work and personal lives, a feat difficult to attain with an eight to five office job. Globalization’s impact in the business landscape has paved the way for business outsourcing as a strategy to streamline operations and cut costs. Office processes that usually demanded face-to-face interaction can now simply be outsourced remotely to a professional on a computer. Business outsourcing has become a norm and this has reshaped not only jobs but also whole industries. For instance, the virtual assistant industry has now replaced what has been described by The Financial Times as the dying secretarial services industry. Increasing automation and the drive to cut costs have led to the decline of the need for secretarial services. Now, companies can hire a virtual assistant from anywhere in the world by the hour doing beyond the tasks of the traditional secretary or executive assistant. Beginnings: The secretary and the typewriter Today, the virtual assistant industry stands as one of the most sought after and lucrative jobs that promises companies returns on investment and VA’s high pay and a work-life balance. How did this exactly happen? The ascent of virtual assistants, or VA’s, did not happen overnight, but during a long and complex transition beginning in the 1940s. The secretarial services industry birthed what we now know as the virtual assistant industry. Sir Isaac Pitman’s invention of the shorthand method led to the creation of secretarial services as a viable profession. Pitman founded the first school for secretarial services, admitting only men, at a time when religious conservatism still forbade women in the workplaces. It was technology that eventually paved the path for women’s entry in the secretarial services – with the invention of the typewriter. An unprecedented number of women went on to occupy office jobs in the late 1880s and performed secretarial work for companies and professionals on a “one boss, one secretary” arrangement. By the 1930s, men practically vanished from the industry, which was now predominated by women. From then on, a secretary job became associated with a female. Typewriters had a significant role in the birth of virtual assistance. Pexels photo by Rawpixel.com During the 1970s, the typewriter soon evolved into the earliest word-processing systems that made secretarial work vastly efficient. With features such as dictation and typing, technology helped streamline secretarial services, allowing secretaries to work for more than one boss and perform various tasks. As industries expanded, secretaries started to build their own guilds to promote their shared interests. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association (NSA) was founded as an organization seeking to professionalize the field in the US. Later on, professionalization happened with the development of the Certified Professional Secretaries (CPS) Examination. This exam tests knowledge, skills, and aptitude in three areas – office technology, office systems administration, and office management. Until now, people looking to advance in their career as administrative professionals can benefit from rating high in the CPS. The move towards professionalizing the secretarial field was cemented in 1952 when “Secretaries Day” was created, later to be renamed “Administrative Professionals Week” in 2000. This special day recognizes all variants and job titles of people doing administrative tasks for a living. Thirty years after, the NSA was renamed Professional Secretaries International and six years after that, to International Association of Administrative Professionals to avoid the sexist stereotyping that became associated with word “secretary.” Secretarial going “virtual” Technology refashioned traditional work to break time and distance barriers. When exactly the secretarial services industry give rise to “virtual” assistance is not definitive. But what’s certain is that technology made it possible. The telephone and fax machine helped bridge people and workplaces thousands of miles apart. During the 1980s, administrative assistance began being delivered remotely. Then, in 1994, the Internet became a popular medium for businesses to make transactions from long distances. At least two stories surface on the birth of virtual assistance. The less popular version is attributed to Anastasia “Stacy” Brice and life coach Thomas Leonard who, in a casual phone conversation, blurted the phrase “virtual assistance” in 1996. This phrase soon came to define what Stacy did for a living then, as a full time work-at-home secretary for an international client. She provided several services over the Internet – administrative support, personal assistance, and travel planning. She called herself a “virtual assistant” and the term caught on and eventually gave reference to an exciting and emerging profession. In February 1997, the virtual assistant industry was professionalized under the organization AssistU. The more popular version recognizes Christine Durst, who wrote the book “The 2 Second Commute” as the founder of the virtual assistant industry in 1995. Durst called the thriving profession as a “revolutionary way of working from home” and encouraged professionals to maximize the Internet to pursue their life passions and authentic sense of independence while earning. To Durst, virtual assistants, “home-based administrative workers”, “work-at-home secretaries,” or whatever titles they are called with, were people drawn to the job for various reasons. First, the global economic crisis hit traditional employment and erased several jobs. As companies closed their offices, small businesses grew and found the Holy Grail of staffing on the Internet. Businesses can hire by the hour with the same or better efficiency than hiring in house without the added costs of hiring an employee. Second, hardworking people who because of circumstances (ill relatives, family, illness, lack of promising jobs) find it difficult to get traditional jobs find space on the online job market as virtual assistants. Third, and perhaps most importantly, there is freedom that goes with being in a flexible job and this attracts those who seek to be liberated from the control of the “eight to five” life. Durst was herself a work from home administrative manager for several global businesses. In 1999, she collaborated with Michael Haaren to establish Staffcentrix and the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVSA). The IVSA is a professional organization of virtual assistants and all work from home professionals in 16 countries at present. The International Virtual Assistants Association was founded to professionalize and create standards and codes of responsibility for those who provide work from home administrative services. Virtual assistants in demand It cannot be denied that professional virtual assistants are in high demand these days. As small businesses and startups look towards scaling, they are realizing the huge amount of returns that hiring virtual assistants pose. Among the many benefits that businesses can gain from hiring virtual assistants include: Taking stock of valuable time to grow your business and do what you love; Getting rid of long-term contracts; Having access to a steady stream of competent professionals; Being able to choose the option of scaling up or down; Trimming costs from insurance and others. Cost-effective. Virtual assistance has long matured from when it was first birthed by the secretarial profession. It has grown and continues to professionalize its ranks. As globalization continues to tear down flat organizational structures, the lookout for business outsourcing prospects will remain high. This explains why online jobs and virtual assistance as a profession will continue to boom.

There exist many minors to major differences between hiring an individual person for cleaning and getting cleaning done by an insured house cleaning service provider. The biggest difference comes to management and liability. When you invest money in hiring an individual then you accept all the related liability. When there comes issue in quality, you will have to take tension of care and maintenance. If you are not satisfied even after corrections then you will have to finally replace it.

But if you are hiring an insured and trusted housekeeping service provider, then they care of all your home needs. All the staffs are trained, directed and manged to handle your house cleaning needs.

Handling others home needs more care and attention so their approval is needed.

The answer to this question is direct no as we have our own cleaning equipment and products. But yes, if you prefer to get your home cleaned with your product, we are ready to work with that and are quite comfortable.

What if rescheduling or skipping my booking is needed?

We reserve the home cleaning slot for your needs. As such, a sudden cancellation leads to leave our cleaning staff with no work for the day. So, as a courtesy gesture, we ask our customer to inform 24 hours prior so as to fix our staff to other slot of housekeeping needs. If you cancel the slot for cleaning purpose at the doorstep then you may be asked to pay 50 percent.

There is situation, when you have to leave your place in emergency, then in that situation we understand your pain. So, in that condition we reschedule your slot and will deliver same quality work. If you are proceeding to vacation, we appreciate your advanced cancellation.

So deep cleaning is important to clean the corners and hard-to reach places. This assures complete sanitization of the place and making environment healthy to dwell in.

The answer to this question directly depends on certain factors like number of family members, size of the home, presence of pets and kids and even manpower number who are involved in cleaning chores. If cleaning staffs are more, time consumption will be less and if the number is less, time consumption will surely be more.

On an average we recommend you to go for home deep cleaning at regular interval of 3 to 4 months so as to maintain the hygiene of your living surrounding.

The Ten Best Questions for Assessing Your Organizational Culture

     The Ten Best Questions for Assessing Your Organizational Culture

In this podcast I am going to share with you my ten best questions for assessing your organizational culture. In order to assess your organizational culture to make changes its important to develop questions that will point you in the right direction and I know these ten questions for assessing your organizational culture will put you on the right path.

  What’s difficult sometimes is defining your organizational culture, putting a finger on what makes it distinct. With that said, I think this quick questionnaire can be vital for just getting you started in thinking critically about what your organizational culture is and how it might be improved.

  What is Organizational Culture?

  Before we can assess our organizational culture it’s important that we understand what is organizational culture, generally speaking?

  The way I explain organizational culture is that it’s a summary of how people at your business interact with each other… and, how they interact with clients and customers. More formally, you might say that organizational culture is the mixture of beliefs, assumptions, values, and habits that comprise the psychological environment of your workplace.

  Organizational culture comes in different varieties, and some are healthier than others. So, how do you assess your company’s culture? That’s what we’ll address next.

  Assessing Your Organizational Culture

  Here are my Ten Best Questions for Assessing Your Organizational Culture

  What is the mission/purpose of the organization? Is this mission statement written or codified in some way for people to view? Would you say that most team members can articulate the mission? Or, if you asked 10 different employees what the mission is, would you get 10 different answers?

What motivates your employees? Are team members motivated into action by a sense of mission or by promise of a reward, or the threat of corrective action? What’s the motivating force at your company?

What’s the organizational structure? Would you say that the structure of your company is hierarchical? Or is it more of a flat structure, where team members all feel like they’re on pretty much the same footing? How does this structure impact your daily productivity and employee relationships?

Is your company overall collaborative? How often do different departments work together with one another? On a typical project, is one employee holed up in their office, or do you see a lot of instances of teamwork and cross-disciplinary unity?

Do people in your company feel respected and appreciated? Actually, start with yourself: Do you feel respected, both by people who work under you and by the people to whom you report? Do colleagues appreciate your particular skills and subject matter expertise? Do you feel like you have opportunities to add value, and is that value welcomed and appreciated by the rest of the team?

Is there freedom to fail with new initiatives? What happens if a team member tries something innovative and new and it doesn’t quite work as intended? Is punitive action taken? Is that employee scolded by the boss? Or do you have a work environment where effort and experimentation are rewarded and encouraged, even when things don’t quite pan out?

How does employee morale impact the end client/customer experience? This is a tough one to assess, maybe, but think about the general mood of your employees. Does it seem like their disposition carries over into friendly, attentive, courteous customer service? Or do you notice that lackluster attitudes lead to a chilly demeanor with customers?

How would you characterize leadership at your company? Leadership and organizational culture go hand in hand. I’d encourage you to ask whether the managers/bosses/supervisors/executives at your company lead by example; whether they micromanage; whether they delegate; whether they ultimately trust employees with some real autonomy and freedom.

Can you name three specific areas where your organizational culture could be improved? Simple question… simple but crucial! No company culture is ever perfect. It’s always going to be a work in progress and thinking critically about specific areas for improvement can be a really helpful exercise. What are a few things that immediately spring to mind? And do you think other team members would share your assessment?

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your organizational culture? Would you recommend it to a friend? Again, this may sound simple, maybe even simplistic. But I think there’s real value in just doing a quick gut check: How much do you like your organizational culture, really? Your instincts here may be more revealing than you can imagine.

Work Space

‘We are known for timeless, classic interiors, and this is a constant,’ she tells. Photo – courtesy of Adelaide Bragg & Associates.

The firm was renting space in Hawthorn but was quickly running out of room,  and so relocated to Cremorne in November 2018. Photo – courtesy of Adelaide Bragg & Associates.

Adelaide hopes to add a furniture showroom to the space in coming months. Photo – courtesy of Adelaide Bragg & Associates.

From what you’ve just seen it’s going to be pretty hard to imagine this space as an old garage! But that’s what Adelaide Bragg and her team of interior designers and decorators were working with, when they set out to move their office.

Stacked full of luxury cars, the previous incarnation of the building also housed a little flat with modest kitchen and bathroom. After a major interior overhaul, and the addition of a mezzanine, the space today hosts Adelaide Bragg & Associates on the open-plan top floor, with adjoining kitchen and meeting room, through which ‘staff flow through continually’.

The ground floor is presently a depot for Adelaide’s new Bragg & Co furniture venture, but will soon become meeting rooms for this latest arm of the business.

Adelaide, tell us a little about your namesake interior design and decorating business, and how it has evolved since you launched in 1989?

We are known for timeless, classic interiors, and this is a constant. My interiors are very considered, creating the foundations so to speak, with good quality furnishings, which although influenced by fashion, are not overtly on trend, allowing the rooms to continue to evolve over time. Naturally, there will be nods to fashion and with my love of pattern and colour, they are certainly never dull, but they are definitely timeless.

My latest venture, Bragg & Co, has been a natural extension of the business. So often I found myself frustrated when trying to source the perfect lamp, or perfect side table – particularly when seeking to layer colour and texture; it seemed a natural extension to design and produce my own product line. We have a selection of raffia covered furniture, including bedside, eterge, console and coffee tables, in a glorious array of colours and also available in a high gloss paint in any Dulux colour. We look forward to increasing our range, particularly concentrating on items not currently available in Australia, with great excitement!

last year you relocated the business from Hawthorn to Cremorne; What prompted this move?

With strong business growth, we were fast running out of room! Tired of renting, it seemed a natural next step to invest in our own space. We were attracted to Cremorne for its proximity to the city and the grungy-but-creative environment, including many other designers.

What are some of your favourite features of your new HQ?

My favourite feature of our current space, and the one which most people immediately respond to, is the wonderful natural light – so important in design!

We have recently installed our inspiration wall, which is an ever-changing and organic visual feast of colours pattern, texture and ideas. This fills the wall behind my workspace and the whole team often refer to it and add to it.

Open plan is key – it means everybody communicates and all are aware of what is going on in the business – design is such a collaborative affair and good communication is essential.

Most people who visit have the same reaction upon first arrival: the light! And again, they love the unexpectedness of the lovely space in juxtaposition to the industrial looking street. With the elegant yet simple wallpaper softening its hard edges, and our lovely little internal courtyard, it feels welcoming and happy.

What kind of atmosphere have you’ve tried to create here?

Although the office does have some Adelaide Bragg touches, such as the raffia-covered walls, and of course, an ever-changing range of Bragg & Co lamps and tables, we have purposefully kept our environment light and simple – nothing to distract or interfere when creating schemes.

Now you’re set up in your beautiful space, what are you turning your attention to next?

I have a feeling of true excitement and anticipation surrounding Bragg & Co. Now that we have made the leap (which was a little daunting at first) I feel it is just the beginning – there are so many possibilities – and I so look forward to seeing our range evolve and expand.

Design wise, I am very much looking forward to this year, and the future – business is strong and I have the most wonderful clients with exciting projects giving me not only a lot of design freedom, but also the ability to shop around the world, which is inspiring.

Again, I am at a stage in my career, whereby I am in a constantly evolving space and business, which gives me the chance to start to give back and share my knowledge and experience; to develop young and talented women who are starting or growing their careers. I had the benefit of learning from a wonderful mentor when I first started and I feel it is my duty but also the greatest pleasure to perpetuate that generational learning.

Key contributors in this fit-out

Our business now employs a wonderful range of creative expertise, with excellent technical skills combined with free-thinking passionate creatives. Kevin McCarthy, our builder, is a fixture. We love him. Our needs are always evolving meaning we continue tweaking our space.

An office should be…

Flexible! Based upon my own experience as a full-time working mother, it is important to me that my workspace is a welcoming, supportive culture for working women.  I would think that all of ‘my girls’ would agree that we have accomplished that. I think of it as a ‘soft’ office.

There’s flexibility that allows people to manage both their personal/family and working lives around the office. I also think that generational support is so very important – my staff is made up of older women such as myself, with teenage children, women in their 20s and 30s just starting their families and younger women at the beginning of their careers being able to see that it is possible to have children and continue their career.  We even have a grandmother, our wonderful bookkeeper – the sharing of knowledge between the generations is enriching for all.

Living in the UK

Through this note, I am about to share my experience living in the UK, precisely in Worsley, Salford, Greater Mcr. I was staying there for about a year to do volunteering works. Helping vulnerable people like homeless, refugees, drugs and alcoholic addict, or even someone who has social matter were my daily activities that I had to work on. Well, before Im gonna writing a brief story about how I could get this incredible chance ever. I firmly admit that I was lucky atm, just because someone told me "A really small chance to get to the UK" but here we go! At last, I got its opportunity which allegedly that small.

Commenced from desired to work abroard at the age of a quarter of a century ago. My brother knew my dream and he told me that his bestmate or mu senior of mine was living there (what a coincide). I instantly asked him his number to reach more informations. In short, I applied in this catholic org in 2013 and been accepted as a next vv after a year working. I should have gone that year but for some reasons, the project must be postponed (so pathetic I was). After all, like I remarked in my second note on fb (see through my life deeper) God is good and hes good all the time. WHY? Eventually, I was accepted as a candidate in 2014 Without having to follow interviews via skype and fill out the application form, yet they still asked me to renew my criminal record check though. 

Alright! I won't kill my time just for telling how i got to the UK. Living in one of Europe countries is totally different with countries where condensed of Asian culture , either from the weather side or from the staple food side. I began my UK life in late Summer, if I ain't wrong. We were ten with variety of nationalities around the world and all of us devided into 3 part community groups where we stayed in different house (L'pool, Mcr and Glasgow).

I was in Mcr with the other two housemates, Italian and American. Here we were taught to have simple live. But this is more than simple for me, everything is really more advanced than a developing country like mine.Well, pretty I can enjoy life more advanced than ever. Haa.   Everything is completely well-organized,for instance; They have three types of bin (brown, black and blue) which differ in their usage and have their own schedule tobe taken, accessible signpost, so newcomers won't get lost and many more. I myself worked in two places, Mon,Wed, and Thrsdy was in Salford Loaves and Fishes, and the rest of the day except weekend was in Svp Charity shop, Witthington. Both gave me unforgettable beautiful moments ever in my life. If I write these all down, it may deplete thousand of pages, lol (exaggerate). Maybe I am gonna or must separately write this down. First time living in G. Mcr; 

1). I aint suprised about their staple food and their plain taste, those ain't even bothering me as I also like kind of their foods, I love full english breakfast (NO BLACK  PUDDING!) especially BACON!! , love "pudding" (not a real "pudding" , in England it refers to dessert, it can be cake, biscuits or something else)

2). The weather,  Manchester is well known by Rainchester, no days without raining. Cloudly, rainy, blustery, grayday, the weather change many times as it please, lol. I feel like sun and moon are so close to me when they turn up, it was just like in the movies or cartoons something like that i have watched. The thing is when you are in the UK, do not wish to having sun all afternoon long, as sun is not quite "friendly" in this Kingdom country.

3). British and other Europeans accent, these is quite suprising me, well I am honestly used to learn American accent or Asian accent lmao! It was just different in where i worked before. No asian at all! They weren't all mancunian either, they came from all part of europe countries. It made me work hard to understand them, especially english people. They have many accents and tons of slang words or even often using idioms. In first three months i was so struggling about communicate with them and this was the only my wrestling, haa. But i was also lucky having my malagasy mate (another vv) accompanied me despite a month of her temporary placement before moving out to neighbour country, Scotland.  She teached me alot about English Culture, she's been in England for few years. Well, I still have 2 months, haa. I worried how if I couldn't have a good convo because my english matter? I might haven't any friends in my workplace. Yes, friendship is obviously a big deal for me.  However, my restlessness did not happen. They are all very friendly and made me as comfort as at home! Good staff or the client itself. They welcomed me like their family and gladly invited me to their home or treated me in china buffets, pubs, etc which they never done this to previous volunteers. I love them and always love 

(4). After getting along with them all, clients used to spend their time just talking with me and making jokes while making brew for them. They like brew and toast I made for them, they suggested me to open coffee cafe when i ended the program, haha This experience teached me how to make proper british brew and coffee.

 5). I'm actually bored staying at home all the time after working hour end. At 2pm I used to out from work and straight went to city centre, usually go to mcr library. This moment won't be forgotten for everytime I was there, i felt like an popular person because there was always someone call my name "Devita! Devita!" And hes my client, we had brief talk and after walk, I bumped into with someone else and we talked again. I always met someone that i know in city centre, this is why i can't forget Manchester, manchester is like my hometown, friends and family who care about me when i was there, the weather, foods and beverages. Oh! One more, I was walking on pavement with my ear phone on and there was a group of young lad walking opposite before me, one of them was staring at me, hes handsome enough. suddenly the man who stared at me dance like a robot and he passed me but he walked back to see me with his flat face. I was confused but my lips started smiling. Another weird thing is, a young adult jumped in to my bus just want to give a tram ticket where his phone number written there, lol cant believe that he became my partner. And many more happened in Mcr that always making me laugh.Continue...

Blooom Aims to Be the Best Robo-Advisor for Retirement

Blooom stands out in an increasingly crowded field of robo-advisors by narrowing its focus on one segment: workplace retirement plans like 401(k)s. By tending to Americans’ retirement assets, Blooom offers management services that often are overlooked by other advisors.

The company exclusively manages defined contribution plans — 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457s, 401(a)s and thrift savings plans. Blooom’s model is simple and straightforward: There’s no account minimum, and management costs a flat fee of $10 a month, regardless of account size. Like other robo-advisors, Blooom relies on automated technology and human advisors to make the most of a client’s plan offerings. It also checks for rebalancing opportunities at least every 90 days. But customers looking for advisors to manage non-401(k) funds will need an account elsewhere.

Where Blooom shines

401(k) management: Blooom stands out for its niche strategy: managing employer-sponsored retirement plans. Even though 401(k)s are the primary retirement savings vehicle for many people, it’s rare for advisors to manage them. Most advisors deal exclusively with individual retirement accounts and taxable accounts. The field isn’t completely lacking competition: Vanguard Personal Advisor Services and Personal Capital both offer 401(k) guidance, though not direct management. Blooom excels in its ability to manage any 401(k), no matter where the account holder works or where the account is held. There’s no need for your employer to have a partnership with the service.

No account minimum: Beginner savers can have Blooom manage their accounts right from the start, giving them a better shot at getting off on the right foot.

Free analysis: Anyone can register for an account to analyze a 401(k) for free, and it’s a fairly painless process. Create a Blooom account and link your 401(k) by selecting your provider and logging in on Blooom’s site. Using a flower as a symbol of your 401(k)’s health — see the illustration to the right — the company shows how your existing allocation is faring and suggests ways to improve it. Do-it-yourselfers could easily take those recommendations and change their asset allocations on their own, without signing up for the monthly plan. But Blooom is banking on customers seeing the value of such information on a regular basis. Investors wanting help can sign up for management with Blooom, which includes rebalancing at least every 90 days. Blooom sends customers an email notification each time it makes an adjustment.

Investment expense audit: Employer plans generally offer limited investment options, many of which carry higher-than-average fees. Blooom works within the investments available in the account by classifying each into one of 14 asset classes. The company’s algorithm then selects the fund in each bucket with the lowest internal expense ratio. Although there are many instances when there’s only one fund in each category — and, as such, no way to lower expenses — this method can help investors lower their expenses overall while maintaining an appropriate asset allocation and diversification. Blooom says it saves clients a median $113 in hidden fees in the first year.

Financial advisors: Blooom offers email and chat support to customers, while financial advisors also are available via phone during weekday hours. The company says these advisors are available to answer any financial planning question, including questions that fall outside of 401(k) management, such as debt repayment, budgeting and preparing for major life events.

Cost: Blooom hopes customers see as much value in managing their 401(k) as they do in paying for things like Netflix each month. There’s something to be said for the clean, flat monthly fee. Investors know exactly how much they’re paying, and the fee is charged to a credit or debit card rather than skimmed from the account balance. But there’s a downside to flat fees, too. To compare costs with other advisory services, both robo and human, it’s important to evaluate that fee as a percentage of the assets under management.

Where Blooom falls short

Limited investor assessment: While Blooom’s sign-up process offers simplicity — linking your 401(k) account takes a matter of minutes — it may not be comprehensive enough from an investing standpoint. The questions determining how Blooom allocates your assets don’t go beyond your birthday and target retirement age, and no mention is made of risk tolerance or investment goals. Some of that can be explained by the company’s focus on employer retirement plans: It rightly assumes the goal of every client is retirement. However, investors of every age vary in their risk tolerance, and that should be considered.

Aggressive allocation: Several NerdWallet staffers — ranging in age, though all under 40 — linked their 401(k) accounts to Blooom. All were given the same asset allocation recommendation of 100% exposure to stocks. Blooom says about half its customers were too conservative with their portfolio before using its services — and its algorithm tends to favor equities until the investor is roughly 20 years from retirement. Many investors may consider this too aggressive; few people have the stomach for this strategy, even with an investment manager like Blooom watching their backs. Investors who don’t agree with the allocation that Blooom recommends can change it by moving a slider during the sign-up process.

Is Blooom right for you?

Blooom is NerdWallet’s pick for the best robo-advisor for 401(k)s because it brings much-needed investment management to employer-sponsored retirement plans. That’s a significant benefit, because such plans usually are the primary retirement vehicle for people who have them. Few other robo-advisors have tapped this market, and those that have either require high account minimums or don’t provide the kind of comprehensive management that Blooom offers. If you’re looking for a robo-advisor for your 401(k), Blooom is the best option.

But before signing up, do the math to figure out what percentage of assets you’ll pay based on your account balance and how that will change as your balance grows. Check into whether you have access to comparable services via other providers. You can cancel the service at any time, and it’s easy to do because your 401(k) remains where it is. Investors can also test drive the service with the company’s free analysis tool.

History of Virtual Assistants

The Internet has changed the way we live and work tremendously. Online jobs are experiencing a boom nowadays as Internet coverage and smartphone usage keeps increasing globally, by the second. Technology has become so powerful that even our concept of work has changed. More and more professionals are opting for a flexible, work from home job that allows them to seamlessly connect their work and personal lives, a feat difficult to attain with an eight to five office job. Globalization’s impact in the business landscape has paved the way for business outsourcing as a strategy to streamline operations and cut costs. Office processes that usually demanded face-to-face interaction can now simply be outsourced remotely to a professional on a computer. Business outsourcing has become a norm and this has reshaped not only jobs but also whole industries. For instance, the virtual assistant industry has now replaced what has been described by The Financial Times as the dying secretarial services industry. Increasing automation and the drive to cut costs have led to the decline of the need for secretarial services. Now, companies can hire a virtual assistant from anywhere in the world by the hour doing beyond the tasks of the traditional secretary or executive assistant. Beginnings: The secretary and the typewriter Today, the virtual assistant industry stands as one of the most sought after and lucrative jobs that promises companies returns on investment and VA’s high pay and a work-life balance. How did this exactly happen? The ascent of virtual assistants, or VA’s, did not happen overnight, but during a long and complex transition beginning in the 1940s. The secretarial services industry birthed what we now know as the virtual assistant industry. Sir Isaac Pitman’s invention of the shorthand method led to the creation of secretarial services as a viable profession. Pitman founded the first school for secretarial services, admitting only men, at a time when religious conservatism still forbade women in the workplaces. It was technology that eventually paved the path for women’s entry in the secretarial services – with the invention of the typewriter. An unprecedented number of women went on to occupy office jobs in the late 1880s and performed secretarial work for companies and professionals on a “one boss, one secretary” arrangement. By the 1930s, men practically vanished from the industry, which was now predominated by women. From then on, a secretary job became associated with a female. Typewriters had a significant role in the birth of virtual assistance. Pexels photo by Rawpixel.com During the 1970s, the typewriter soon evolved into the earliest word-processing systems that made secretarial work vastly efficient. With features such as dictation and typing, technology helped streamline secretarial services, allowing secretaries to work for more than one boss and perform various tasks. As industries expanded, secretaries started to build their own guilds to promote their shared interests. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association (NSA) was founded as an organization seeking to professionalize the field in the US. Later on, professionalization happened with the development of the Certified Professional Secretaries (CPS) Examination. This exam tests knowledge, skills, and aptitude in three areas – office technology, office systems administration, and office management. Until now, people looking to advance in their career as administrative professionals can benefit from rating high in the CPS. The move towards professionalizing the secretarial field was cemented in 1952 when “Secretaries Day” was created, later to be renamed “Administrative Professionals Week” in 2000. This special day recognizes all variants and job titles of people doing administrative tasks for a living. Thirty years after, the NSA was renamed Professional Secretaries International and six years after that, to International Association of Administrative Professionals to avoid the sexist stereotyping that became associated with word “secretary.” Secretarial going “virtual” Technology refashioned traditional work to break time and distance barriers. When exactly the secretarial services industry give rise to “virtual” assistance is not definitive. But what’s certain is that technology made it possible. The telephone and fax machine helped bridge people and workplaces thousands of miles apart. During the 1980s, administrative assistance began being delivered remotely. Then, in 1994, the Internet became a popular medium for businesses to make transactions from long distances. At least two stories surface on the birth of virtual assistance. The less popular version is attributed to Anastasia “Stacy” Brice and life coach Thomas Leonard who, in a casual phone conversation, blurted the phrase “virtual assistance” in 1996. This phrase soon came to define what Stacy did for a living then, as a full time work-at-home secretary for an international client. She provided several services over the Internet – administrative support, personal assistance, and travel planning. She called herself a “virtual assistant” and the term caught on and eventually gave reference to an exciting and emerging profession. In February 1997, the virtual assistant industry was professionalized under the organization AssistU. The more popular version recognizes Christine Durst, who wrote the book “The 2 Second Commute” as the founder of the virtual assistant industry in 1995. Durst called the thriving profession as a “revolutionary way of working from home” and encouraged professionals to maximize the Internet to pursue their life passions and authentic sense of independence while earning. To Durst, virtual assistants, “home-based administrative workers”, “work-at-home secretaries,” or whatever titles they are called with, were people drawn to the job for various reasons. First, the global economic crisis hit traditional employment and erased several jobs. As companies closed their offices, small businesses grew and found the Holy Grail of staffing on the Internet. Businesses can hire by the hour with the same or better efficiency than hiring in house without the added costs of hiring an employee. Second, hardworking people who because of circumstances (ill relatives, family, illness, lack of promising jobs) find it difficult to get traditional jobs find space on the online job market as virtual assistants. Third, and perhaps most importantly, there is freedom that goes with being in a flexible job and this attracts those who seek to be liberated from the control of the “eight to five” life. Durst was herself a work from home administrative manager for several global businesses. In 1999, she collaborated with Michael Haaren to establish Staffcentrix and the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVSA). The IVSA is a professional organization of virtual assistants and all work from home professionals in 16 countries at present. The International Virtual Assistants Association was founded to professionalize and create standards and codes of responsibility for those who provide work from home administrative services. Virtual assistants in demand It cannot be denied that professional virtual assistants are in high demand these days. As small businesses and startups look towards scaling, they are realizing the huge amount of returns that hiring virtual assistants pose. Among the many benefits that businesses can gain from hiring virtual assistants include: Taking stock of valuable time to grow your business and do what you love; Getting rid of long-term contracts; Having access to a steady stream of competent professionals; Being able to choose the option of scaling up or down; Trimming costs from insurance and others. Cost-effective. Virtual assistance has long matured from when it was first birthed by the secretarial profession. It has grown and continues to professionalize its ranks. As globalization continues to tear down flat organizational structures, the lookout for business outsourcing prospects will remain high. This explains why online jobs and virtual assistance as a profession will continue to boom.

Blooom stands out in an increasingly crowded field of robo-advisors by narrowing its focus on one segment: workplace retirement plans like 401(k)s. By tending to Americans’ retirement assets, Blooom offers management services that often are overlooked by other advisors.

The company exclusively manages defined contribution plans — 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457s, 401(a)s and thrift savings plans. Blooom’s model is simple and straightforward: There’s no account minimum, and management costs a flat fee of $10 a month, regardless of account size. Like other robo-advisors, Blooom relies on automated technology and human advisors to make the most of a client’s plan offerings. It also checks for rebalancing opportunities at least every 90 days. But customers looking for advisors to manage non-401(k) funds will need an account elsewhere.

Where Blooom shines

401(k) management: Blooom stands out for its niche strategy: managing employer-sponsored retirement plans. Even though 401(k)s are the primary retirement savings vehicle for many people, it’s rare for advisors to manage them. Most advisors deal exclusively with individual retirement accounts and taxable accounts. The field isn’t completely lacking competition: Vanguard Personal Advisor Services and Personal Capital both offer 401(k) guidance, though not direct management. Blooom excels in its ability to manage any 401(k), no matter where the account holder works or where the account is held. There’s no need for your employer to have a partnership with the service.

No account minimum: Beginner savers can have Blooom manage their accounts right from the start, giving them a better shot at getting off on the right foot.

Free analysis: Anyone can register for an account to analyze a 401(k) for free, and it’s a fairly painless process. Create a Blooom account and link your 401(k) by selecting your provider and logging in on Blooom’s site. Using a flower as a symbol of your 401(k)’s health — see the illustration to the right — the company shows how your existing allocation is faring and suggests ways to improve it. Do-it-yourselfers could easily take those recommendations and change their asset allocations on their own, without signing up for the monthly plan. But Blooom is banking on customers seeing the value of such information on a regular basis. Investors wanting help can sign up for management with Blooom, which includes rebalancing at least every 90 days. Blooom sends customers an email notification each time it makes an adjustment.

Investment expense audit: Employer plans generally offer limited investment options, many of which carry higher-than-average fees. Blooom works within the investments available in the account by classifying each into one of 14 asset classes. The company’s algorithm then selects the fund in each bucket with the lowest internal expense ratio. Although there are many instances when there’s only one fund in each category — and, as such, no way to lower expenses — this method can help investors lower their expenses overall while maintaining an appropriate asset allocation and diversification. Blooom says it saves clients a median $113 in hidden fees in the first year.

Financial advisors: Blooom offers email and chat support to customers, while financial advisors also are available via phone during weekday hours. The company says these advisors are available to answer any financial planning question, including questions that fall outside of 401(k) management, such as debt repayment, budgeting and preparing for major life events.

Cost: Blooom hopes customers see as much value in managing their 401(k) as they do in paying for things like Netflix each month. There’s something to be said for the clean, flat monthly fee. Investors know exactly how much they’re paying, and the fee is charged to a credit or debit card rather than skimmed from the account balance. But there’s a downside to flat fees, too. To compare costs with other advisory services, both robo and human, it’s important to evaluate that fee as a percentage of the assets under management.

Where Blooom falls short

Limited investor assessment: While Blooom’s sign-up process offers simplicity — linking your 401(k) account takes a matter of minutes — it may not be comprehensive enough from an investing standpoint. The questions determining how Blooom allocates your assets don’t go beyond your birthday and target retirement age, and no mention is made of risk tolerance or investment goals. Some of that can be explained by the company’s focus on employer retirement plans: It rightly assumes the goal of every client is retirement. However, investors of every age vary in their risk tolerance, and that should be considered.

Aggressive allocation: Several NerdWallet staffers — ranging in age, though all under 40 — linked their 401(k) accounts to Blooom. All were given the same asset allocation recommendation of 100% exposure to stocks. Blooom says about half its customers were too conservative with their portfolio before using its services — and its algorithm tends to favor equities until the investor is roughly 20 years from retirement. Many investors may consider this too aggressive; few people have the stomach for this strategy, even with an investment manager like Blooom watching their backs. Investors who don’t agree with the allocation that Blooom recommends can change it by moving a slider during the sign-up process.

Is Blooom right for you?

Blooom is NerdWallet’s pick for the best robo-advisor for 401(k)s because it brings much-needed investment management to employer-sponsored retirement plans. That’s a significant benefit, because such plans usually are the primary retirement vehicle for people who have them. Few other robo-advisors have tapped this market, and those that have either require high account minimums or don’t provide the kind of comprehensive management that Blooom offers. If you’re looking for a robo-advisor for your 401(k), Blooom is the best option.

But before signing up, do the math to figure out what percentage of assets you’ll pay based on your account balance and how that will change as your balance grows. Check into whether you have access to comparable services via other providers. You can cancel the service at any time, and it’s easy to do because your 401(k) remains where it is. Investors can also test drive the service with the company’s free analysis tool.
