Spanish term
facilitador de vida
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
In a survey on corporate responsibility, companies are asked if they offer certain facilities for employees:
"la empresa posee programas de conciliación vida personal y laboral (Guarderías, facilitadores de vida)" It sounds rather like "life coach" but I've never seen "facilitador de vida" as an equivalent for this. Can anyone help with this expression?

Spanish term (edited):
facilitadores de vida
Selected
employee conveniences
Two points:
(1) Because the word "guarderías" occurs right next to "facilitadores de vida", I think they're talking about offering *things* here, not *people* (life coaches).
(2) Since this is a concrete benefit being offered, it might be best to use a short, official-sounding name like "employee conveniences" rather than a lengthier phrase ("things that make life easier").
Examples of "employee conveniences" mentioned as part of companies' benefits packages:
Some of the Employee Conveniences available on-site include:
* Postage Stamps
* Notary Public
* Training Library
* Workout Facility
* Showers and Lockers
http://ww2.pervasive.com/Corporate/Company/Pages/EmployeeBen...
Additional Employee Conveniences
* On-site ATM machine
* On-site dry cleaning services
* On-site travel agent
* On-site film drop-off services
* Discounted movie passes
* Cafeteria, partially subsidized by EMD Serono, Inc., serving breakfast and lunch, as well as take home dinners
* Convenience Store

The Cary headquarters also offers employee conveniences like onsite car detailing, massage, dry-cleaning pickup and delivery, and a hair salon.

conditions that improve employees' quality of life
Maybe "conditions" could be replaced with something else. Long-winded but think this is what it's saying. Seems to be topical at the moment, appears in El Pais article below (follow link).

I don't whether there's a one or two-word term for it, but this is what it means. It refers, for ex., to having an ATM on the premises of a company.

life coach
Por supuesto que tienes razón, se refieren a "life coach".

: but in this context it's services/benefits rather than a person

but providing a life coach is a service/or benefit the companies provide, so I strongly feel it does apply

and (other) facilities
Creo que se trata de un calco del inglés; 'facilitadores de vida' no existe en español.
La empresa proveerá 'facilities', such as day care
facility
a service that an organization or a piece of equipment offers you; "a cell phone with internet facility"
facility
services and space and equipment provided for a particular purpose; "catering facilities"; "toilet facilities"
