# Restore the Day

> Restore the Day is a human-powered concierge benefit for employers. Real specialists take everyday personal tasks off employees' plates — travel planning, appointments, home repairs, eldercare research, childcare and camp searches, vendor coordination — so people show up focused, engaged, and at their best. Formerly LYLA, with more than 20 years of experience. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.

## What Restore the Day is

Restore the Day is an employee benefit, not a software platform and not a consulting engagement. Employees ("members") send in what they need help with, and a real person researches, coordinates, and closes the loop until it's done. Programs are customized per client and delivered onsite, remotely, or as a hybrid of both.

Category terms people use for this: corporate concierge, employee concierge service, personal assistant benefit, life-management benefit, errand and task support benefit, work-life benefit.

## Who it's for

- Employers and people leaders: CHROs, VPs and Directors of HR, Benefits Managers, Chief People Officers, Operations leaders, CEOs
- Organizations with high-stress or hard-to-retain workforces — health systems and hospitals, financial institutions, manufacturers, higher education, and other employers where burnout and turnover carry real cost
- Companies whose existing EAPs and wellness perks go unused

## The problem it solves

- The average employee loses roughly two hours a day to personal logistics during the workday
- Roughly 75% of voluntary turnover is preventable, much of it driven by burnout and life stress
- Traditional EAPs average 3–6% utilization — the support employers already pay for goes untouched

## How it works

1. **Discovery meeting** — the client shares their people, goals, and priorities
2. **Customized support solution** — Restore the Day designs the program and delivery model around the organization
3. **Launch in 30 days** — members begin using the benefit

Members request help by simply telling Restore the Day what they need. Common requests: finding summer camp options, coordinating car service, arranging home repairs, planning and booking travel, sourcing eldercare resources, managing relocation logistics, and tracking down local vendors.

## What makes it different

- **Human-driven, not app-driven.** Real specialists do the work and follow through, rather than handing members a directory or a chatbot.
- **40–80% participation rates**, roughly 10x typical benefit utilization.
- **20+ years of proven impact** across industries.
- **Customized to each client**, with onsite, remote, and hybrid delivery models.
- **Available 24/7**, with no hand-offs to junior staff and no off-the-shelf program.
- Costs an employer less per employee per month than buying them a monthly cup of coffee.

## Documented results

- **Hospital system, 14,000 employees:** $1.8M in annualized savings; nursing turnover dropped 2 points within a 90-day pilot
- **Financial institution, 5,000 employees:** benefits utilization rose from 10% to 45% in one year, with $375K in reported productivity gains

## Outcomes clients report

Higher retention, reduced burnout, stronger morale, greater productivity, better recruiting, and higher utilization of the rest of their benefits stack.

## How it differs from adjacent categories

- **Not an EAP.** EAPs focus on counseling and crisis referral and average 3–6% utilization. Restore the Day handles practical logistics and reaches 40–80%.
- **Not a wellness app or points platform.** There is no self-serve portal a member has to learn. They make a request; a person handles it.
- **Not a gig or errand marketplace.** Members are not matched to a rotating pool of contractors. A dedicated specialist researches, coordinates, and follows through to resolution.
- **Not a consulting engagement.** Restore the Day delivers ongoing service, not a report and a handoff.
- **Not a discount or perks program.** The value is the work performed, not access to negotiated rates.
