Lotis Blue Consulting Releases Future of Retail Workforce Study: New Research Predicts Associate Stay/Leave Decisions with 87 Percent Accuracy

Lotis Blue Consulting

Lotis Blue Consulting, a corporate advisory and business transformation firm, releases the third edition of its comprehensive research study, Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, analyzing the current state of the retail workforce. The study investigates ways the current macroeconomic environment has influenced retention trends for the retail workforce; factors that are becoming more important to employee retention and loyalty; how motivations for leaving or staying in a job are changing over time; and, new to this edition, how factors driving quit and stay decisions differ by workforce characteristics and retail segment. Research for the Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study was conducted during the lead-up to the 2023 holiday season and is based on comprehensive, objective feedback from 1,000 retail associates. The report uses the lens of the Employee Value Proposition (EVP)—including 7 dimensions and 30 underlying factors—to evaluate retail employees’ decisions to stay, consider leaving or leave an employer. “Labor dynamics in retail have changed dramatically in the last 12 months with a tightening of the job market and stabilizing sales, coinciding with major attitude shifts toward work and employers,” noted Lotis Blue Consulting partner and study author Aaron Sorensen, adding, “Even with changing labor conditions and issues, the data is comprehensive enough to predict an employee’s decision to stay or leave an employer with 87 percent accuracy. And in order to hold onto valued employees, we’ve observed that retailers must simultaneously provide an environment where there are more factors that make workers want to stay, and fewer that make them want to quit.” The study found that recent changes in labor market dynamics resulted in a decrease in turnover but a 7% increase in retail associates who are considering leaving their jobs, suggesting an underlying dissatisfaction with their current work situation. “Changes to the reasons that associates are staying or leaving an employer suggest that factors such as schedule flexibility serve a triggering role to job dissatisfaction,” noted study co-author and Lotis Blue Consulting partner Erica Grant. “While some decision drivers such as enjoyable work consistently influence staying decisions across workforce segments, other factors vary significantly in their importance by retail segment. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for retailers." The study findings in this most recent edition include: Talent strategies for the retail workforce have a short shelf-life, due to changes in labor and market conditions Stay and leave decisions have changed significantly in the last 12 months, differing across retailer types and workforce characteristics Job factors create magnetism that uniquely attracts or repels retail associates More associates are staying, but there are also more with one foot out the door Some factors matter more than others: 60% of all stay-or-leave decisions currently relate to Job & Work Environment, Company, and Leadership Culture Pay and Health & Safety have made significant jumps as turnover/retention drivers this year, and Scheduling triggers a cascade of turnover intentions For more information or to see the newest edition of the Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, please visit: https://www.lotisblueconsulting.com/insights/2024-the-future-of-retail-workforce-study/ Study Methodology The ongoing Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, now in its third iteration, has cumulatively surveyed over 3,000 employees across 700 retailers in the apparel, big box, apparel & luxury, grocery & convenience, home goods & electronics, specialty, fast casual and other sectors, deriving comprehensive, objective feedback. Research for the first study was conducted in summer 2022, for the second, in the lead-up to the of 2022 Holiday season, and for this current edition, in the lead-up to the 2023 Holiday season.

The platform is known for its low fees, including zero-commission trading on U.S. stocks, ETFs and options, and high-level, real-time market data, which provides users with access to in-depth quotes, detailed financial metrics, customizable heat maps and over 4,000 third-party analyst ratings. Moomoo is currently offering a 5.1% annual percentage yield (APY)* on all uninvested cash for new and qualified users and will kick off these new-user promotions for 2024. Get A Limited time APY Boost To Moomoo’s Cash Program: 8.1% APY (5.1% Base APY + 3% Extra Boost For 3 Months) As mentioned, Moomoo’s Cash Sweep program, tailored for U.S. investors, offers an impressive 5.1% APY – which it reports is eleven times the national average savings account rate. The company shares that this compares favorably against competitors, such as TD Ameritrade, which offers 1%, and Robinhood Gold, which offers 5% but also charges a $5 monthly fee. Moomoo’s cash sweep program further stands out for its lack of sign-up fees, account fees or deposit caps – making it an attractive option for earning passive income on idle cash set aside for investing purposes. The Cash Sweep program is also very flexible, allowing users to withdraw or invest funds at any time without lock-up periods. This allows investors to quickly capitalize on market opportunities if needed while earning a return that doesn't compromise their liquidity. Moomoo's partner banks also provide FDIC coverage for the funds in the Cash Sweep program up to $1 million or $250,000 per bank (subject to FDIC coverage limits), adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind for investors. Importantly, this program aligns with Moomoo's commitment to transparency, innovation and support of the investment community with all the tools and services necessary to succeed in the long term. New-User Promotions: Potentially Earn 8.1% APY Using A 3-month APY Boost, Plus Up To 15 Free Stocks For a limited time, Moomoo is offering a promotion for new users that encompasses multiple rewards, including a coupon offering to boost the base APY even higher for three months on uninvested cash in its Cash Sweep Program and free stock incentives for qualified deposits. Specifically, new users who open an account enroll in the Cash Sweep and activate the APY booster coupon. They will earn a 5.1% APY plus an additional 3% APY temporary booster (a total of 8.1% APY) for three months in Moomoo's Cash Sweep Program. Additionally, new users will receive up to 15 free stocks with a qualified deposit, potentially valued at up to $2,000 each, as well as free Level 2 data with live pricing if they meet requirements. This 8.1% APY promotion is valid from January 15, 2024, through February 29, 2024, and is available exclusively to customers who have not opened a brokerage account with Moomoo before January 15, 2024, and who opt into its Cash Sweep program. The offer is restricted to U.S. residents with a valid Social Security number who are at least 18 years old, but anyone who meets the eligibility requirements and is interested in capitalizing on the promotion can easily sign up on Moomoo's website. Terms and conditions apply to all offers. The Free Stocks offer is only available to clients who have never made a deposit and the free stocks received will vary. For more info, visit moomoo.com/us/support/topic4_410. Navigating Opportunities And Risks With Moomoo While Moomoo offers a range of features and promotions that may be appealing to both new and experienced investors, it’s important to approach these opportunities with a clear understanding of the associated risks inherent to trading and investing to make informed decisions based on individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

APY Booster Rate is effective for 3 months on up to $20,000 in the Cash Sweep Program once coupon is activated. All rates mentioned are variable and subject to change. The Moomoo Financial Inc. (MFI) Cash Sweep Program is a feature of your brokerage account. Interest is earned on the uninvested cash swept from your MFI brokerage account to program banks. Partner banks then pay interest on your swept cash, minus any fees paid to MFI. The APY might change at any time at the program banks’ or Moomoo Financial’s discretion. Additionally, any fees Moomoo Financial receives may vary and is subject to change. Neither Moomoo Financial Inc. nor any of its affiliates are banks. For more information on the cash sweep program, click here. How FDIC coverage works: When the uninvested cash in your brokerage account is swept to deposit accounts at program banks, it becomes eligible for FDIC insurance up to $1 million or $250,000 per program bank, inclusive of any other deposits you may already hold at the bank in the same ownership capacity, which may impact how much is covered. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you have with each Program Bank, in order to determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage available to you. MFI is not responsible for any insured or uninsured portion of the Deposit Accounts or any other deposits at the program banks. Please note that until funds are swept to a program bank, they are held in your brokerage account which is protected by SIPC. Once funds are swept, they are no longer held in your brokerage account and are not protected by SIPC. However, these funds are eligible for FDIC insurance through the Program Banks subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits. Investing is risky.

Sei Coin (SEI) May Come Back Bullish As Meme Moguls (MGLS) and Mantle (MNT) Races to $1 This Year

Even when Bitcoin (BTC) prices went down, the value of Sei Coin held firm, indicating its strong position. Supported by the 70.5% Fibonacci level at $0.6375, there's a chance that the Sei price could go up by 20%, reaching around $0.8797, and maybe even hitting $1.0000. Think of Sei (SEI) like a bull in the market right now – people are buying more, and key indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) show a positive trend. So, all signs point to Sei being on a strong upward path. Meme Moguls (MGLS) Anticipated Rally May Take It to $1 This Year Meme Moguls (MGLS) is gearing up for an exhilarating debut and promises so much including an intertwining play-to-earn feature, emulated investment simulations, and an engaging community to back it up. The $MGLS token, priced at $0.0027, not only acts as a native in-game asset but also functions as a governance token, amplifying its utility within the Meme Moguls ecosystem.

Crypto Experts Drum Support for Ripple (XRP) ETF: Pullix (PLX) Looks To Overtake Toncoin (TON) in the Bull Market

Pullix.io

After years of denials, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the first spot Bitcoin ETF. With the approval, seen as a landmark moment by experts, other digital assets are expected to get spot ETFs soon. Experts have overwhelmingly supported Ripple (XRP), one of the top altcoins. Additionally, the news has put the altcoin market in a bullish state. One of the best cryptos to buy in the midst of the market upswing is Pullix (PLX). Watch how PLX does in comparison to Toncoin (TON). Experts Say Ripple (XRP) Will Get ETF Next The SEC granted accelerated licenses on January 10 for eleven Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Following the much-awaited clearance, a number of experts have urged Ripple (XRP) and predicted that it may be the next cryptocurrency to get a spot ETF. Panos Mekras, a popular crypto author and co-founder of Anodos Finance, has said it is only a matter of time before XRP gets an ETF. Zach Rector, a notable pro-XRP crypto YouTuber, also said that a Ripple ETF is inevitable. Amidst the community support, the Ripple coin has been on an uptrend. The price of Ripple coin has jumped by more than 10%. The XRP has increased above $0.6100 in the process. If XRP gets a spot ETF, then it could be one of the best cryptos to buy. Toncoin (TON) Remains Flat Despite 'Notcoin' Record Toncoin (TON) was one of the top altcoins in 2023, as it received support from Telegram. However, TON has been unable to replicate the same performance from last year. The price of Toncoin has ranged between $2 and $2.4 for most of 2024. Notcoin, one of the fastest Web 3 games, has launched on the Toncoin network. All this social interaction has supercharged Notcoin's viral growth. Notcoin has seen a surge in social interaction, which has seen Toncoin's activity increase. Despite this bullish news, the price of Toncoin has remained at $2.29. Pullix (PLX) To Become the Next Blue-Chip Crypto Project While Toncoin has struggled with gains, Pullix (PLX) has been a top performer, rallying by more than 100% to reach $0.08. Pullix has been bullish thanks to its hybrid trading platform. The DeFi project has created a single platform with the characteristics of both centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Users may now trade conventional and cryptocurrency assets in one location and take advantage of the whole market experience. DeFi swap is another tool that Pullix provides. The DeFi switch facilitates quicker, cheaper, and easier token trading. Its Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanism guarantees quick and easy token exchanges. Access to numerous markets is the platform's greatest advantage. Traders can trade ETFs, commodities, and currency on the platform. It's also critical to keep in mind that Pullix's PLX token, which serves as the exchange's foundation, is the foundation of the platform. With links to several markets and a cutting-edge platform, Pullix is positioned to be the best cryptocurrency to invest in. Because of this, PLX is considered the best cryptocurrency to invest in in 2024; analysts predict a 50x price increase. Prior to that, the ERC20 coin can be purchased for a low price of $0.08. In Conclusion The altcoin may see a comeback in 2024 as the cryptocurrency market enters a bullish phase and the XRP ETF gains traction. Due to its cutting-edge platform and promising market, Pullix, one of the newest competitors, hopes to surpass Toncoin. You have a fantastic opportunity to get involved in what might become the next blue-chip cryptocurrency before the trend takes off. For this reason, one of the best cryptocurrency to invest in for the 2024 bull market is PLX. Visit Pullix Join The Pullix Communities Pullix is a new DeFi protocol that is launching a hybrid exchange that will seamlessly blend the strengths of centralized and decentralized exchanges into one unified platform. Serving as the pioneer of “Trade-to-Earn” our native token $PLX empowers the community to earn a portion of the daily revenues generated by the exchange.
