Change in Outlook for 2020 due to Softer Economy According to Employer Associations of America 2020 National Business Trends Survey

Leave a comment


EAA logo


MILWAUKEE (PRWEB)

Employer Associations of America (EAA) has just released its 2020 National Business Trends Survey. This national survey shares information on what executives are doing to address the changing business climate, and executives surveyed this year indicate that they are feeling a little less optimistic. The majority of respondents (52 percent) felt the economy in the next 12 months would stay the same, with only 12 percent feeling the economy would improve, and 36 percent feeling that the economy will decline.

Compared to 2019 survey results, respondents felt more confident that the economy would improve (30 percent) and only 12 percent felt there would be a decline. The numbers from the last year’s survey have flipped in these two areas.    

“Given the feelings about the economy in the next 12 months, it seems that organizations are taking a more cautious approach to 2020,” said EAA Board of Directors Chair Mary E. Corrado. “Despite reduced confidence in the economy, 49 percent of organizations surveyed still expect a slight increase in revenue for the coming year. The talent shortage will remain a key factor in 2020. Employers will need to implement innovative talent acquisition and retention strategies to meet their business results.”

When asked on the survey what are the top challenges to their business in 2020, executives indicated:


  • Talent acquisition

  • Talent retention

  • Ability to pay competitive wage/salaries

  • Competition in general

  • Ability to pay for benefit costs

A number of the Business Trends survey questions focused on hiring and staffing practices. The amount of permanent staff planned to be hired in 2020 is down slightly to 47 percent as compared to 2019, in which 54 percent planned to hire permanent employees. Respondents did indicate 65 percent were hiring in part due to newly created jobs. The majority (83 percent) seem to be replacing employees due in part to voluntary turnover. The increase in voluntary turnover makes talent acquisition more difficult and employers will need to offer more competitive wages and be more strategic when marketing for positions.

In moving forward with their hiring practices, organizations said the top five most important factors prospective employees are looking for are fairly similar to last year’s results:     

Top 5 most important factors: 2020

  • 1. Competitive Pay (81%)

  • 2. Good Work/Life Balance (69%)

  • 3. Opportunities for Advancement (56%)

  • 4. Flexibility in Work Hours (56%)

  • 5. Competitive Health Benefits (48%)

The top three reasons why it has become more difficult to hire employees in their industries are:

  • 1. Lack of qualified candidates (66%)

  • 2. Market competition/high demand (48%)

  • 3. Candidates want more pay than we can/will offer (43%)

With the national spotlight on pay equity, a few additional responses were added to the question, “How is your organization minimizing risk and ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local laws?” The top three responses include:

  • 1. Conducting internal pay audits (38%)

  • 2. Establishing/updating a formal compensation structure (35%)

  • 3. Conducting external compensation analyses to compare internal positions with the external market (29%)

The EAA is a not-for-profit national association that provides this annual survey to business executives offering insights and trends for business outlooks, business investment plans, staffing levels, hiring plans, job creations, pay strategies and business challenges. The 2020 survey included 1,093 participating organizations throughout the U.S. For a copy of the full report, contact McKenna Arnold from Cascade Employers Association at 503-585-4320.

The Trium Group Partners with Murad Executives and Former Prison Inmates to Explore Powerful Leadership Development

Leave a comment


We’ve never had such a raw opportunity to dig deep into our own truths, connect with each other, and harness this power to profoundly influence our leadership, and ultimately our company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

The Trium Group, a leading management consultancy that specializes in breakthrough business performance, today announced that it has partnered with a unique organization of formerly incarcerated prison gang leaders to work with Murad, the leading skincare brand rooted in clinically proven results, science-backed wellness, and cruelty-free products, on an innovative leadership development program to foster greater inclusion, respect, and higher performance across diverse teams.

Partnering with experienced facilitators from Inside Circle, a rehabilitation-focused organization born out of New Folsom Prison, the Trium team led the entire Murad management team through an extremely profound workshop that enabled them to explore their leadership in an authentic and unifying way. In this highly experiential program, people created a new vision for themselves and their teams, conducted deep personal exploration, and applied new tools and concepts that break down barriers to leadership effectiveness.

“We are at a point in our society that is characterized by radical change and highly charged differences around gender, race, culture, politics, and religion. Yet, this program, which brings executives into a place of self and group exploration alongside formerly incarcerated persons, enables people to see that we are more alike than we are different,” says Monica Chi, Managing Partner, The Trium Group. “We were honored to work with Murad on this workshop. They are a forward-thinking organization that is investing in their leaders in a progressive and inspiring way.”

Inside Circle was founded by an inmate of New Folsom Prison, who realized while behind bars, that the best way to create sustainable change was to look deeply within and challenge the assumptions he had long held to be true about himself and others. Inside Circle provided a safe haven within the walls of the prison for participants, who were often from rival gangs, to speak freely, explore their feelings and beliefs, and ultimately experience their own personal transformations. Once out, they have continued to share their message of inclusiveness. “I was grateful to be able to witness the Murad team embrace this work so openly and powerfully,” says Eldra Jackson, Inside Circle facilitator and mentor, TedTalk speaker, and former inmate at New Folsom Prison. “Once people get comfortable sharing who they are at their core and managing their judgments and reactivity, the opportunities for growth are limitless. The Murad team courageously proved without a shadow of a doubt how true this is, even in high-pressured corporate environments where achieving bottom-line results are central to success.”

“Working alongside the Trium team and former inmates was beyond humbling for our entire extended leadership team,” said Michelle Shigemasa, CEO of Murad. “We’ve never had such a raw opportunity to dig deep into our own truths, connect with each other, and harness this power to profoundly influence our leadership, and ultimately our company. This program will provide a lasting impact on our entire organization.”

“We founded Trium over 20 years ago with a mission of changing the world by changing the way business leaders think – and sometimes that means sharing radical perspectives,” said Andrew Blum, Founder and CEO, The Trium Group. “This partnership with Inside Circle is a revolutionary way for us to fulfill our mission. It powerfully demonstrates that what connects us to each other is much greater than what distinguishes us. When leaders start by looking within, enormous organizational transformation is possible.”

About Trium

The Trium Group is a leading management consulting firm that is committed to the practice of unlocking potential in people, teams, systems, and organizations.

Report About Charters Being a “Rising Tide” Sinks Under Weight of Flawed Data

Leave a comment



BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB)

A recent report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute examines whether average achievement in a school district increases as the “market share” of charter schools rises. The report argues that there is a positive competition effect.

Yongmei Ni of the University of Utah reviewed Rising Tide: Charter School Market Share and Student Achievement, and determined that its findings have limited use in guiding policy and practice, because of the flawed data and methods it employs.

Using a national data set of school districts with longitudinal records (allowing an analysis of each school district’s changes over time), the report found that overall, higher charter market share is associated with statistically significant increases in average reading achievement (but not math achievement). Further, the report finds some positive relationships for specific racial subgroups in districts of certain sizes and geographic locations. The report concludes that charter schools are “a rising tide” that “lifts all education boats.”

Professor Ni explains that these findings and conclusions should be interpreted with extreme caution because of major weaknesses surrounding the data and methods, including the measure of charter market share, the sample selection criteria, and the overreliance on results based on a small number of districts, especially those districts with over 95th percentile of charter market share.

Overall, she concludes, the findings have little use to policymakers because of these issues with data and methods, and because the report does not probe beneath the surface. For example, it does not examine possible policy factors that might be associated with charter market share in a given area having a positive or negative association with public school systems. Similarly, it does not consider which practices might benefit charter schools and/or public school systems as a whole.

Erith Catlin’s newly released “The Voice Said, ‘Write’” is an enlightening opus on the relevance of God’s biblical commandments in modern times

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“The Voice Said, ‘Write’”: a thought-provoking book that discusses the divine constitution of God’s commandments imparted to mankind in the garden of Eden that is still significant in the modern era. “The Voice Said, ‘Write’” is the creation of published author Erith Catlin, a native of Barbados and a retired life insurance salesman with American General Life and Accident Ins. Co.

Catlin shares, “Six thousand years ago, God pronounced a curse upon this earth because of Adam’s disobedience in Eden.

“The message of this book is a clarion call to twenty-first-century man to obey God’s four commands given in Eden whereby evil will be held in check.

“God got this author’s attention to write this book by one word spoken in his ear. It was back in 2011, he heard one word—write.

“The author did not know what subject God wanted him to write about, but then the impression came to his mind to write about creation and the fall of man.

“God gave man four commands! Number 4 is not really a command. It is really following God’s example of resting and worshiping. If man worshiped God and held His name in sanctity, that would virtually wipe out crime and divorce. True worshipers will honor those two words of commitment that they made at the wedding altar—‘I do.’ See Genesis 1:31. Crime and divorce, gone.

“Number 3 command is reproducing and subduing the earth (Gen. 1:28).

“The number 2 command is not to eat what God forbid (Gen. 2:16–17 and 1:29–30). Daniel adhered to this (Dan. 1:8).

“Command number 1 (work) is in Genesis 2:15–16. Dress the garden and keep it. God gave Adam a world that was ‘very good’ while the twenty-first-century man has a world that is very bad.

“God is saying to twenty-first-century man, ‘If you keep what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting. Obey my commands and eat the good of the land.’

“The message of the book? Honor God’s creation. Love Him with all your heart, soul, and body and your neighbor as yourself. When the twenty-first-century man lives this way, evil will be held in check, and world conditions will improve.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Erith Catlin’s new book inspires readers to uphold God’s handiwork and decrees and earn His blessing.

This book beholds reverberating insights that show the benevolence of God for those who seek His grace and follow Him wholeheartedly.

Identify3D and Siemens Digital Industries Software sign OEM Partnership Agreement for Secure Digital Manufacturing Communication

Leave a comment



SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Identify3D, the leader in secure and standardized communication for digital manufacturing and 3D printing, today announced it has signed an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership with Siemens Digital Industries Software, enabling an integrated solution of the Identify3D suite with NX™ software, the Teamcenter® portfolio and Siemens Opcenter™ software. Both companies can help customers support automated, end-to-end, secure and controllable manufacturing data distribution, collection and monitoring across multiple control systems and production equipment.

“Setting up and running an additive manufacturing factory should be as straightforward as connecting and using paper printers in the office. As soon as you plug a new printer into your network, your organization should be able to schedule and track jobs, securely send and collect data, and monitor performance,” comments Aaron Frankel, VP Additive Manufacturing Program, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Together with Identify3D and our growing ecosystem of AM hardware OEMs, Siemens is helping enable our customers to securely connect, control, coordinate and monitor their entire global 3D printing and postprocessing operation.”

From NX, Teamcenter or Siemens Opcenter, customers can create encrypted data instructions for the operation of additive or subtractive machines. These “containers” of instructions include machine parameters, machine type, operator privileges, number of parts allowed, and more. Every action that affects a container for a given manufacturing operation can be collected, tracked and displayed in a dashboard for full visibility of the production process. Identify3D and Siemens have been working with leading 3D printer OEMs to develop integrated machine interfaces that fully support secure data transfer.

“Following a multiyear partnership with Siemens, we are very happy to make one further step towards a broader commercialization of our solution. We are very keen on bringing a key innovative addition to the Siemens Digital Industries Software portfolio and excited to support their global sales organization,” says Fabrizio De Pasquale, VP Business Development and Strategic Accounts at Identify3D. “Through a standardized data model and end-to-end integration, Siemens customers can lower operating costs by interacting more efficiently with machines. In addition, with secure data and enforceable process policies, they can realize more automated and regulated production both for in-house operations as well as for distributed scenarios.”

MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Daily Messages of Hope: God Is Our Source”: a brilliant medium of embracing the power of God through understanding His word that will help one get by day by day. “Daily Messages of Hope: God Is Our Source” is the creation of published author Mary Idella Criswell, a disabled homemaker who was an assistant director in the hospitality field.

Criswell shares, “Daily Messages of Hope is a book designed to provide scriptures that help us deal with daily problems that we encounter in our daily lives. It lets us know that God is our source. The scripture gives us insight on how to confront issues through the reading of God’s word. It will let us know that we all have a purpose in life. We all have gifts, but we must plow through the clutter in our lives to receive those gifts. We all need inspiration and motivation, which can be freely obtained through the reading of the Holy bible.

“By doing this, we can obtain the knowledge we need to survive in this world and prepare for eternal life. We need to rebirth new ideas through the power of God. We must give all our praise and worship to God, not man. I hope this book can provide some daily assistance in the area of faith. We all must maintain a healthy relationship with God, not just when we are in need. We need to listen and acknowledge God’s word. Through God, power and anointing those chains that have been keeping us in bondage can be broken. We just need to believe in him.”
