How Mediatic and its employees benefit from Beep for Help

At the Amsterdam-based PR and content marketing agency Mediatic, everything revolves around innovation and impact—for clients, but also for employees. After all, you can only deliver great work when your mind is free from personal worries. That is why Mediatic has added Beep for Help to its employee benefits package. With the Superhelpers from Beep for Help, employees dealing with things like caregiving responsibilities can outsource practical tasks—from household chores to administrative paperwork and even caregiving support. This gives employees peace of mind, helping them feel better and more balanced.

Why Beep for Help?
Dennis Mensink, director of Mediatic, noticed that employees were frequently struggling with personal matters. Small chores left undone, time-consuming caregiving duties, and administrative headaches were causing distractions at work. “In a short period, we had several employees dealing with personal concerns that took up a lot of their time. It had a significant impact on their well-being,” says Mensink. “As an employer, you want to contribute to a healthy work-life balance, which also benefits the company. Beep for Help is a simple yet effective way to do that. It almost feels strange that this didn’t exist or wasn’t being used by companies sooner.”

According to Mensink, it is a small effort and investment that yields significant results. “Our employees experience less stress, have more time for their work, and feel supported. It also indirectly contributes to their job satisfaction.”

Impact on employees
Carice van Vliet* works at Mediatic and leads a busy life. She has three children, a full-time job, and acts as a caregiver for her father, who suffers from depression. She discovered Beep for Help through Mediatic. “Caregiving for my father takes a lot of time and is emotionally intense. As a result, chores at home kept piling up. Thanks to Beep for Help, my daughter got the quiet study space we had been talking about for a while, without me having to spend time on it myself. She was so happy with it, and that made me happy!”

Through the Beep for Help app, she quickly arranged a Superhelper who assembled a desk and helped organize a walk-in closet for her son. “It was very easy to make an appointment. You enter what you need, choose a time, and it’s taken care of. It also feels safe because everyone is screened. The Superhelper who came by was friendly, thoughtful, and professional. That gave me peace of mind and allowed me to outsource the work without any worries.”

More balance, less stress
Thanks to Beep for Help, Van Vliet not only got a tidy home but also peace of mind. “My daughter now has her own space where she can do crafts, read, or work on school projects. Without Beep for Help, this would have taken months, or perhaps even years.” This leads to less stress at home and more energy at the office. Mensink confirms this: “It’s great to be able to do something meaningful for an employee in this way – no matter how small it may seem. With a little effort, you as an employer can really make a difference on a personal level!”
