WASHINGTON, DC—People are spending more and more time in the workplace. Nationwide, the 40-hour work week has become a 47 hour week. In the DC area, the work week averages 48.4 hours. As a result, workers are struggling to balance the demands of their work with their personal lives causing more stress and thus creating the need for wellness and other health-related programming in the workplace. In response, Carr Properties has created the Carr Experience.

“The Carr Experience is a reinvention of the way people experience the workplace with immersive, integrated and interactive office and amenity spaces that promote greater well-being and productivity,” says Oliver Carr, III, CEO, Carr Properties. “This includes offering hospitality-quality fitness facilities, roof decks and amenity spaces, and access to first-class food and beverage offerings, all delivered seamlessly through our technology platform. At the end of the day, our job is to create the environment that allows our customers to thrive, attract and retain the best and brightest talent.”

In addition to the in-building amenities, Carr has developed the Carr Experience App. The App provides their customers with a variety of immediate food and beverage options such as in-suite dining, easy sign-up for fitness classes, access to on-site services such as dry-cleaning delivery, and push notifications for upcoming special events. Early results have shown a high adaption to the app.
