Getir and No Kid Hungry Partner to Fight Childhood Hunger

Getir

In recognition of Tackling Hunger Month and Children’s Health Month this October, ultrafast grocery delivery app Getir will allow customers to make direct donations to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Additionally, Getir has made a contribution to No Kid Hungry, a national campaign working to end childhood hunger in the US. Getir’s funding will help support programs that feed children and can help provide 100,000 healthy meals*. Along with its contribution, Getir is encouraging its customers to donate to No Kid Hungry while placing delivery orders through its app for the next two weeks, until October 25. Every dollar of customer contributions goes directly to No Kid Hungry and can help provide 10 meals to kids. Additionally, the Getir app will be given a temporary makeover to include No Kid Hungry campaign branding and exclusive artwork for the duration of the contribution period. “Getir is delighted to contribute to No Kid Hungry and do our part to help end childhood hunger for good,” said Darienne Page, Head of Public Engagement at Getir. “As a rapid delivery service operating around the world, food insecurity is at the forefront of what we do on a daily basis. With No Kid Hungry, we know this contribution will go a long way toward providing healthy meals to children who need it most.” Millions of children in the United States are facing hunger, including as many as 1 in 8 kids. Through a combination of emergency grants, strategic assistance, advocacy and awareness, No Kid Hungry works with communities across the country to improve and expand existing programs that feed kids school breakfast, after school suppers and snacks, and summer meals to ensure all kids have access to three healthy meals a day. Getir’s contribution to No Kid Hungry comes at the heels of Hunger Action Month in September, when Getir announced a milestone of 80,000 pounds of food donated to local nonprofits in Chicago, New York, and Boston through its partnership with Copia, the world’s first end-to-end solution that addresses both food waste and hunger. * No Kid Hungry does not provide individual meals; your donations help support programs that feed kids.

With New Study, Assembly Asks Marketers: “Do you really know Gen Z?”

Assembly

Gen Z Decoded, an all-new study packed with first-hand insights about Generation Z, curated over the course of the past year, is out from global media agency Assembly. Unlike previous studies that seek to understand this evolving and influential group as one whole audience, Assembly prompts brands and marketers to consider this: Gen Z is a series of journeys, each individual and nuanced, dependent on the experiences of Zs in their particular stage of life. Available for download here. The study taps into learnings from Assembly client campaigns [Supercuts, Diesel, and Converse], first-party research powered by Appinio across six markets (UK, US, France, Germany, China, Korea), and additional expert insights curated from Assembly’s Europe Strategy & Insights team. It additionally includes 8 essential principles for brands to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z, as well as a foundational growth plan following the agency’s “Find, Change, Grow” methodology. “As they look to discover themselves, Gen Z is going on an internal journey, often staying fluid and flexible with their own identity,” said Jennifer Brown, Strategy Manager, Europe at Assembly. “They’re in an ever-changing state of discovery across different life stages, so a one-size-fits-all approach from brands isn’t going to work.” The study identifies one of Gen Z’s 6 primary characteristics as “ shapeshifters ”, with 78% of Gen Z believing that people should be able to define their own identity instead of being labelled by society. The fluidity in their identities also extends to their relationships with brands, with 55% of Gen Z stating that they aren’t loyal to any brands. Other key characteristics that distinguish Gen Z: Globally Connected: Gen Z have experienced connectivity unlike any other generation before them. 77% of Gen Z say they have never met an online friend in person, further emphasizing the emergence of digital-only relationships Passionate Disruptors: While they aren’t the first generation with grand ambitions to change the world, Gen Z is the generation that has been armed with the Internet to help them do so. 70% of Gen Z believe they can take part in a social movement through social media Entrepreneurs: By 2025, Gen Z will make up 27% of the workforce, though they’re not necessarily only interested in conventional career paths. 42% of Gen Z say they have a “side hustle” and express wanting to disrupt the way jobs work in the future, many envisioning themselves to be their own bosses Purposeful: While living much of their lives on the internet, Gen Z are also intentional about how and where they are spending their time online, and with who. 27% of Gen Z spend less time on platforms with ads, and 55% of Gen Z in the 18-25 age group are experiencing social media fatigue Vulnerable: Despite their confidence and tenacity, Gen Z put enormous pressure on themselves to carry through on their values; and also despite being so digitally connected, 79% of Gen Z express feeling lonely. “Our advice to brands is: go on the journey with Gen Z and don’t stop learning. It’s all about continuous testing, learning, and adapting, because Gen Z will continue to evolve, so brands should do the same,” said Kristie Naha-Biswas, Head of Strategy & Planning, Europe at Assembly.

Silicon Valley Leadership Group Joins with Other California Business Associations to Call Upon Biden Administration to Accelerate Implementation of CHIPS Act Incentive Program

Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Leading a coalition of California business associations, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) today urged the Biden Administration and Congress to accelerate implementation of the multibillion dollar CHIPS Act incentive program, which is critical to sustaining and strengthening the state’s thriving innovation economy. According to the White House, America had more than 30 percent of global chip production over 30 years ago, while today, America produces barely 10 percent of the world’s chips. The CHIPS Act seeks to change this by investing $280 billion over the next ten years to revitalize U.S. competitiveness, innovation, and national security. Over the next five years, the Department of Commerce will oversee $50 billion in investments including $11 billion for advanced semiconductor R&D and $39 billion to speed up domestic chip production. Additionally, the Act creates a private sector investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing of approximately $24 billion. “The CHIPS Act promises to bolster Silicon Valley competitiveness by supercharging critical innovation infrastructure,” said Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Ahmad Thomas. “Our member companies stand ready to quickly leverage the federal government’s multi-billion dollar investment to help strengthen U.S. technology, ensure our global competitiveness, and fortify our supply chain resilience.” In a package of letters to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and members of the California delegation, the coalition emphasized that: “The [CHIPS and Science] Act presents a unique moment to seize upon California’s innovation and manufacturing advantages that will help strengthen the national economy and reinforce our critical supply chain of needed semiconductor chips and components. We respectfully request that the Department of Commerce move expeditiously to implement the Act’s incentive program, and we are happy to serve as an industry resource as the Act is implemented." In addition to the SVLG, the letters were signed by the Bay Area Council, Chamber San Mateo County, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles County Business Federation, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Mateo County Economic Development Association, Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce, and Valley Industry & Commerce Association. American businesses rely on semiconductors as essential components in electronic products like desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Advancing the nation's military capabilities also requires semiconductors for cutting-edge technologies. Expanding domestic manufacturing of semiconductors will bolster national security, supply chain resilience, and strengthen the national economy. California’s Innovation Economy, made up of diverse actors including technology companies, premier research entities, and comprehensive supply chain leaders, is well-positioned to leverage the Act’s incentives and act as a force multiplier for federal investment to strengthen national manufacturing, R&D, and semiconductor workforce training. President Biden released an implementation strategy for the $50 billion under the CHIPS for America program, which is available here. A summary of the legislation is available here. About the Silicon Valley Leadership Group: The Leadership Group is a business organization of hundreds of Silicon Valley’s most dynamic companies working to shape the innovation economy of California and the nation. Founded by David Packard of Hewlett-Packard, for over 40 years the SVLG has worked to address issues that affect the region’s economic health and quality of life. Today the SVLG Is focused on economic competitiveness with a special focus on diversity & inclusion, climate change and infrastructure. SVLG members collectively provide nearly one of every three private sector jobs in Silicon Valley and contribute more than $3 trillion to the worldwide economy. For more information, visit svlg.org.

JAFRA Cosmetics Founders Heirs in Legal Fight with Trustee Jason Rubin Over Historic Malibu Home

Law Office of David R. Akin

Multiple legal petitions have been filed in an ongoing dispute between the heirs of the founders of the JAFRA Cosmetics fortune and accountant Jason Rubin, the trustee of two key family trusts. At the heart of the dispute is a historic Malibu home, originally purchased by Jan and Frank Day, the founders of JAFRA Cosmetics, a global cosmetics brand that is now part of Betterware de México. The family has for years asserted that the Days’ original intention was to have the house pass to their only daughter, Janna. The filings allege that the trustee, Rubin, wants to sell the home against the wishes of the family. The legal action is being brought against Rubin by Janna Day and her daughter, Estel Day, who are represented by the Law Office of David R. Akin. According to legal filings, the historic Malibu property, located at 22223 Carbon Mesa Rd, should have been transferred to Janna Day on her 60 th birthday, back in November of 2013. Even though this transfer never occurred due to disputed changes within existing family trusts, the heirs had hoped to work with Rubin to renovate and rent the home, turning it into an income-producing property that would stay within the family. According to filings, recent efforts to renovate the property have failed due to the inaction of the trustee Rubin, who oversaw efforts to take out a loan against the home but did not use all of the proceeds to pay for agreed-upon renovations. According to legal petitions, the trustee has expended more than $100,000 in administrative fees and costs each year since 2017 but now wants to sell one of the only remaining assets in the trust. The family alleges that Rubin has “basically been derelict in his duty to make the Malibu property income producing” and that he “reneged on his promise to make the necessary repairs and spent far less than the anticipated $400,000, which currently leaves the Malibu property with an estimated $100,00 - $200,000 in repairs required before it can be rented to a residential tenant.” In filings, the family states that the trustee appears to have entirely abdicated his duty to generate income for the beneficiaries. All the beneficiaries of the family trust object to the sale of the property, which they believe is an integral part of the family legacy and the most significant asset of the trust. The family is asking Los Angeles Superior Court to transfer the property to Janna Day and surcharge Rubin “for the damage to the beneficiaries of the Day Trust caused by his breach of duty and failure to follow the terms of the trust instrument,” among other forms of legal relief. According to the petitions, not only is the property viewed as a key financial asset but it also has a significant legacy value for the family and JAFRA consultants. The lawsuit can be downloaded here and at LawsuitPressRelease.com. Contact Details David PR Group John P. David +1 305-724-3903 john@davidpr.com

Why Are Companies Expected To Spend Almost $2 Trillion On Collaborative Robots By 2030? One Company Has An Answer: Teamwork

AvaWatz Inc.

Industries spend billions of dollars each year to ensure worker and customer safety. Yet some of those billions of dollars could be saved by using teams of collaborating robots (cobots) to perform work that endangers human workers. Cobot teams can work in otherwise dangerous operating environments and can perform the tedious tasks necessary to ensure customer safety in commercial spaces, airports, railways and mass transit systems. Consider the task of removing harmful debris from an airport runway. Fragments of metal and other materials can fall onto the runway from airplanes, service vehicles, luggage carts and even small fragments can do catastrophic damage. Keeping runways clear is a life-and-death responsibility, and right now it is all done by human workers who walk or drive along the runway to find and remove debris. This is the kind of tedious and dangerous job that could be done by robots, but no single type of robot is exactly right for the job. Flying drone robots are good at detecting debris, but they cannot pick up the debris and remove it; ground robots can pick it up, but they cannot move as fast or see as far as the drones can. If they combine their strengths, a team of air and ground robots together can perform this task with minimal human involvement. Decision-intelligence tech firm AvaWatz is working to make this idea real. The company builds teams of robots with different skills, like traveling off-road or manipulating a specialized tool – the team can combine those skills and use them all together. AvaWatz wants to use robots to reduce risks for humans who have to perform complex tasks in harsh environments and is pioneering the use of collaborative robots or cobots. Cobot teams can solve hard problems for public and private sector customers, including the military and Homeland Security, flightline operations, search and rescue, emergency response, construction, transportation, agriculture, utilities and infrastructure among others – in fact, it is difficult to name a sector that could not benefit in some way from teams of robot workers. The U.S. Air Force, Army, and the Department of Homeland Security have each recognized the need and are funding AvaWatz R&D to advance and grow the technology. The company is focused on driving risk even lower for humans. Giving back to the community is a high priority for AvaWatz — which is why they donate a portion of their revenue to assist with debris pick-up on coastlines. The Size Of The Opportunity The need for cobots is out there, according to AvaWatz. It is predicted that the market for collaborative robots will grow to $1.99 Trillion by 2030. AvaWatz’s initial targets are smart airports, ground transit assets, and surveillance, but the opportunity is not limited to those areas. Such technology can also address the needs of markets where the risk is not only limited to simple human error but also malicious intent. AvaWatz – which has already performed prototype work with the U.S. Air Force – plans initially to work with regional and private airports in the U.S. in addition to the Air Force as it scales to address larger markets. There is also potential to work in fields such as infrastructure repair, railroad inspection and the protection of endangered wildlife species. AvaWatz is reportedly also working on partnerships with drone and ground robot manufacturers such as Skydio and Boston Dynamics. AvaWatz offers an investment opportunity to meet the growing demand for Collaborative Robots – whose market size is predicted to reach almost $2 trillion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.3% from 2021-2030.

Employee Experience Technology Adoption Is Being Driven by Pandemic Recovery and Workforce Instability, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

The massive shifts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have been deeply felt across all industries and at every department level within business-to-consumer (B2B) and business-to-business (B2B) companies. The effect on the global workforce has been profound, with companies around the world struggling to hire and retain employees. According to a new report from Dash Research, an evolution that many say was already in progress before the pandemic, has accelerated with a balance of power starting to migrate toward employees. Dash Research analysis indicates that these market dynamics are leading companies to invest in a broad range of technologies and solutions to not only decrease day-to-day friction in an employee journey, but also to attempt to meet the expanded desires of a changing population. The line between traditional human resources (HR) technology and employee experience (EX) technologies has blurred over the past few years and has given rise to larger companies that provide human capital management (HCM) or workforce engagement technologies to add modules more focused on engagement, community building, recognition, or performance management. These dynamics have also enabled smaller companies to gain leverage in the market with more specific offerings focused on just one part of the EX ecosystem. Dash Research forecasts that the global market for EX platforms, applications, and services will increase from $5.9 billion in 2021 to more than $14.6 billion in 2026. The market intelligence firm anticipates that EX platforms will represent 53% of total revenue within the forecast period, followed by services (24%) and applications (23%). “Companies are becoming more human-centered,” says senior analyst Sherril Hanson, “and HR departments are shifting focus from operations and productivity toward experience, health, and wellbeing. In many cases, the fundamental relationship between employer and employee has changed.” Hanson adds that the key market drivers spurring the purchase of EX software and services include: The Great Resignation and the need for better retention strategies The employee experience/customer experience link Shifting employee wants and needs Move to hybrid and remote work, leading to increased need for communication and connection Growing need for optimal digital employee experience and great supporting technologies However, she points out that many barriers remain for organizations when attempting to deploy EX solutions, many of which are internal and operational. Dash Research has identified four key challenges that are tempering the growth of EX: Outdated and challenging technology stacks Lack of internal ownership Struggles with analysis and action Inability to build an EX-supportive culture Dash Research’s report, “Employee Experience”, focuses on the software platforms, applications, and services that are offered to help companies achieve excellent EX. These solutions are an important part of providing a positive employee experience. If implemented thoughtfully and with sustained commitment, the solutions can promote deeper employee engagement, less employee churn, in-house automations and efficiencies, and improved customer experience. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.
