Kastle Partners with Bilt to Enhance Employee Experiences
In a groundbreaking new partnership, Kastle has teamed up with Bilt to redefine the office experience for employees in Kastle-connected buildings. As a pioneer in managed security and access control, Kastle is known for its focus on both commercial and multifamily building solutions. This collaboration marks a significant leap into the realm of commercial real estate for Bilt, as they integrate their innovative Neighborhood OS™ platform to offer multiple benefits for employees and employers alike.
The essence of this partnership lies in the ability to integrate building access with a plethora of workplace services and enticing neighborhood rewards. With the introduction of the
Neighborhood Pass, employees will find it convenient to have just one digital credential to access their buildings, eligible amenities, and local benefits. These benefits can include rewards at everyday locations such as nearby coffee shops, fitness studios, retail shops, and even exclusive offers at local restaurants.
Creating a Holistic Work Experience
Mark Ein, Executive Chairman of Kastle, emphasized how this initiative not only pledges enhanced security but also aims to enrich the overall workplace atmosphere. By merging building access with local amenities, employers can create a more attractive offering for prospective tenants. Ein noted that fostering a rewarding workplace experience is vital in today’s competitive business landscape.
“We’re extending our role to help building owners and employers create a more rewarding workplace experience,” he stated. This is achieved through various incentives that encourage employee engagement and morale, such as rewards for consistent office attendance.
Bilt’s
Neighborhood OS™ serves as an AI-driven solution that helps businesses elevate customer engagement through personalized experiences. The platform seamlessly connects building owners, employers, and local businesses, thereby fostering a vibrant community that serves those who work nearby. Ankur Jain, the CEO of Bilt, articulated this vision: “Where you work shapes your daily routine… With Kastle, we can connect those moments to an employee membership that makes the workday more rewarding.”
Exclusive Rewards and Memberships
The partnership extends beyond just access control to include employee memberships that offer exclusive workplace services, amenities, and personalized rewards across a vast network of over 50,000 merchant partners. Imagine employees enjoying discounts at their favorite lunch spots or complimentary cocktails at local bars simply by being part of their workplace community.
Furthermore, the partnership introduces a
24/7 AI Concierge, available for employees through Bilt and via text. This service can assist with various workplace questions, from reserving tables for client lunches to booking travel for work trips, thus enriching the employee experience even further.
Benefits for All Stakeholders
As a result of these enhancements, employers gain a unique toolkit to support attendance, recruitment, and retention while simultaneously providing employees with added value. Not only do employees feel rewarded on a daily basis, but building owners gain an edge in attracting and retaining tenants amid a dynamic commercial real estate environment.
