Industry Challenges Aren’t Why Workers Are Quitting

Great Place to Work

Your industry has little to do with whether you can offer an employee experience that outshines the competition. Organizations on this year’s Fortune Best Workplaces lists across 11 industries in 2022 show that companies that prioritize their people can offer better outcomes for workers no matter which industry they’re in. “Great leaders understand that the responsibility to inspire and engage their people is on them —and only them,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work®. “I know it’s easy to blame the industry and not your company, but try not to. We can do better for our people, and there’s nothing preventing any company from doing just that.” Workers at the Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care report nearly identical levels of meaningful work as those at winning technology companies at 90% and 86%, respectively. Those levels drop to 62% in tech and 59% in health care at typical workplaces, according to a Great Place To Work survey of nearly 4,200 U.S. employees. The average tech company offers one of the most positive experiences among typical workplaces — 72% of employees on average report that theirs is a “great place to work.” The Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction surpass those scores — 94% of employees report having a great place to work. Great Place To Work determined the Best Workplaces lists by analyzing data from nearly 1 million employees at qualifying companies in 11 industries: Manufacturing & Production Health Care Consulting & Professional Services Financial Services & Insurance Advertising & Marketing Retail Aging Services Real Estate Construction BioPharma Technology Purpose drives retention in every industry Meaningful work — the belief that one’s work is “not just a job” — is a key indicator of retention in all 11 industries surveyed. Despite evidence that some industries are losing talent, meaningful work doubles an employee’s intent to stay in their job long-term. Take the retail sector: • 38% of employees at a typical retail workplace report meaningful work. • 79% of employees at the Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail report meaningful work. • Retail employees who report meaningful work are three to five times as likely to stay in their role. Industry is no excuse for poor well-being. It’s too easy to believe some industries can’t offer work-life balance, healthy work lifestyles or flexible work options. The Best Workplaces prove this assumption wrong. For the typical health care organization, only 55% of employees report being encouraged to find a healthy work-life balance. At the Best Workplaces in Health Care, that percentage jumps to 87%. Visuals available: GPTW Best Workplaces by Industry Lists 2022 About the Fortune Best Workplaces by Industry Great Place to Work® selected the Best Workplaces™ for each of the 11 industries in 2022 based on feedback collected from nearly 1 million employee responses from qualifying Great Place To Work Certified™ organizations in the United States.

EC Holdings

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 2 September 2022 - Global investment migration firm, EC Holdings, commences operations with the launch of its Singapore Headquarters and the appointment of the Hon.

Channelling over a decade of experience in Estate and Investment Immigration Planning, Private Banking, Insurance, and Diplomacy, EC Holdings Co-Founder, the Hon. Philippe A. May, has been appointed CEO. Most recently the Managing Director of Arton Capital (Singapore) Pte Ltd, Philippe is a qualified Associate Financial Planner (AFP™), an Associate Estate Planning Practitioner (AEPP®) and a member of the Financial Planner Association of Singapore (FPAS). “As a Singaporean, I am immensely proud to lead the first global investment immigration company headquartered here. HNWIs are paying more attention to their residence and citizenship portfolio. Our team of experienced, licensed partners are able to offer the best solutions across 5 continents. We have our own offices on site in most of our investment immigration destinations, so clients can rest assured that they are in the best hands,” said the Hon. Philippe A. May, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EC Holdings. Co-Founder and Chairman, Kevin A. D. Hosam, and Co-Founder, Martin St. Hilaire, complete the EC Holdings Founding team. Collectively, the threesome boast more than a quarter of a century of experience in investment migration; thus, EC Holdings are able to seamlessly navigate complex and ever-changing systems and legalities to present best-in-class solutions based on the requirements, family size, and education credentials of each individual client. “I have been in the CBI industry since Antigua and Barbuda started its citizenship program. Now, I am looking forward to extending the outreach of our citizenship program through our network of senior RCBI professionals under the roof of one new global company - EC Holdings,” said Kevin A. D. Hosam, Co-Founder and Chairman of EC Holdings.

I have lived in Vanuatu for the past 20 years and am a citizen myself, so I am looking forward to enabling more clients to reap the benefits of Vanuatu Citizenship,” said Martin St. Hilaire, Co-Founder of EC Holdings. Fuelled by increased global uncertainty and the restrictions thrust upon freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic, EC Holdings identified an uptick in the number of clients desiring alternative citizenship and residency options. Increased global mobility is a strong pull factor for clients seeking escape from political or economic threat, new business opportunities, and the option to swiftly move to a new jurisdiction. Access to improved healthcare, education services and a more comfortable way of life are further reasons for seeking migration through investment, whilst reduction of tax burdens and fiscal and family planning are other key factors. As the first and only global investor migration firm with solutions in the Bahamas, Latin America, Latvia and Vanuatu along with the more familiar countries such as Saint Lucia and Portugal, EC Holdings offers two kinds of programs; citizenship-by-investment and residency-by-investment. Citizenship-by-investment programs offer clients the privilege of acquiring a second citizenship and the right to travel freely to various destinations and settle in another county.

Bernie Sanders Fined $15,000 by FEC for Hiring of Foreign Nationals

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

First Amendment watchdog Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), on the heels of securing a record 6-figure fine against Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the DNC, announced it has secured a five-figure fine against Senator Bernie Sanders. In a filing not yet made public, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) acted on a 2019 Complaint CRF filed exposing illegal activity by the Bernie Sanders campaign. The CRF Complaint exposed how the Bernie Sanders campaign hired foreign nationals in violation of federal election laws designed to prevent international actors from meddling in U.S. elections. As part of a conciliation agreement with the FEC, the Bernie Sanders campaign must pay a fine of $15,000. Additionally, the Sanders campaign must agree not to contest the findings of the FEC and must cease and desist from further law-breaking. “I find it incredibly ironic and not at all surprising that the same people who were so outraged by the Russia hoax were at the same time violating laws to prevent foreign influence in our elections,” said Dan Backer Counsel to Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “The Bernie Sanders campaign got caught willfully and knowingly allowing foreign nationals to participate in the strategy, planning, and tactical implementation of campaign activity.” The original Complaint may be found here. The Conciliation Agreement will be posted by the FEC within the next 30 days. The Complaint alleged in part that, “…Due to the high profile of Cesar Vargas, Erika Andiola, and Maria Belén Sisa as leading activists in the undocumented community, there is reason to believe that respondents are ‘foreign nationals'…and in violation of…directly or indirectly participated in the decision-making process of persons with regard to the election-related activities…” The Bernie Sanders Conciliation Agreement follows another recent Coolidge Reagan victory at the FEC from a 2018 Complaint resulting in a $113,000 fine against Hillary for America and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for lying about their funding of the Russia Hoax dossier. “Our track record is strong. We went after Hillary, and we won. We went after Comrade Bernie, and we won, again,” Backer continued. “While those on the radical left may not care about the truth, we do. Our determination is unwavering, and we expect the FEC will agree with us again as we call out additional violations in FEC Complaints we have filed.” ### Please visit https://www.coolidgereagan.org/.

Recruiting platform Kula raises $12M seed funding round to make every employee a recruiter

Kula

Kula, a recruitment automation platform, has raised a $12 million seed round to make outbound recruiting seamless for founders and recruiters at SMBs and mid-market companies. The round was co-led by Sequoia Capital India and Square Peg Capital, also saw participation from existing investors – Venture Highway and Together Fund, and a handful of prominent angels. The seed fundraise comes within six months of the pre-seed announcement, taking the total funding amount to $15M before the public release of the product, displaying a strong tailwind of investor and customer confidence. “Recruitment is an absolute priority for companies across the spectrum of size, industry, and geography, and is still an underserved business function. Kula’s founding team brings an unmatched combination of substantial recruiting experience and distinguishing engineering talent - giving them the ability to understand the problem deeply and build a solution that scales with the organizations they serve.” Piruze Sabuncu, Partner at Square Peg Capital. The founding team at Kula comprises co-founders Achuthanand Ravi, ex-Stripe, Uber and Freshworks recruiter, Sathappan, engineer number 3 at Freshworks, and later an engineering leader at Grab, and Suman Kumar Dey, an early member of the Infra team at Freshworks and Grab, and Architect at Salesforce. The fresh funds will further Kula’s mission with expansion of R&D, product and GTM teams across the three offices in US, Singapore, and India. With a strong momentum of notable alpha customers, the funds will also accelerate its global customer footprint. "Almost all business functions have reinvented themselves in the past decade, except for recruiting. CEOs openly term recruitment as their competitive priority and yet the recruiters are functioning in 2022 with the tools of the 1990s," said Achuthanand Ravi, Co-founder & CEO at Kula. "I have been a recruiter all my career at places like Stripe, Uber, and Freshworks. Never have I ever enjoyed writing the same email, a couple dozen times everyday, or updating the candidate spreadsheet based on the replies to those emails or LinkedIn requests. We understand the challenges of a recruiter through first-hand experience. We want to empower them to do their best work, close more candidates, and focus on the future," added Achuthanand. Kula provides a sleek and intuitive SaaS platform for recruiters and founders to automate continual engagement with their top candidates. It seamlessly integrates with all the tools recruiters interface with in their work day including LinkedIn, GitHub Gmail, and theApplicant Tracking System (ATS). Recruiters can then create automated workflows to engage with their top of funnel candidates through emails, LinkedIn nudges and InMails. Automating outreach campaigns saves recruiters from spending endless hours on the most repetitive tasks in the hiring process. "We are seeing a tectonic shift as organizations across the spectrum are switching to outbound hiring processes as default. Achuthanand and team have unique insights in outbound recruitment gathered from their own past experiences and they are leveraging it to build a platform that replaces ad-hoc hiring processes with an automation stack. We are excited to be a part of this journey with a strong team building a SaaS product for global customers." Aakash Kapoor, VP, Sequoia Southeast Asia. A key recruiting challenge that Kula aims to solve is making referrals proactive. Most referral workflows fail in the real world because recruiters have almost no control over the process apart from nudging employees to find a good-fit candidate from their network. Kula’s Circle changes that. It brings all employee networks to one place. Recruiters can then identify the next superstar hire from first-degree connections of all employees and get an intro with a click of a button. It takes the reactive approach to referrals and makes it proactive - easier for recruiters to take action, eliminating the incessant cycle of follow-ups. “Our trust in Kula’s idea and team has only gotten stronger by witnessing the product in action. The way companies hire has shifted from inbound to outbound, and Kula brilliantly integrates itself with this new way of hiring and takes the experience a notch above. I foresee Kula being a key component of companies winning the talent war.” Priya Mohan, Partner at Venture Highway. About Kula Kula transforms the way recruitment happens today. It empowers recruiters and employees at large to leverage their entire network, reach out, and engage with top talent and turns hiring into a competitive advantage for the company. Kula is led by a strong team of recruiters, engineers, and marketers. Seasoned recruiter Achuthanand Tanjore Ravi co-founded Kula after witnessing a significant void in the recruitment stack, which was limited only to systems of records (ATS and HRMS) and no system of actions. Previously, Achu has helped hire Stripe’s executive leadership team globally, and in the past, helped build Uber’s tech organization in AMER, EMEA and India, and was the founding recruiter at Freshworks and Practo. Achuthanand, along with his past colleagues, Sathappan, engineer number 3 at Freshworks, and later an engineering leader at Grab, and Suman Kumar Dey, early member of the Infra team at Freshworks and Grab, and Architect at Salesforce, set out to replace a broken system of recruitment, hacked together with spreadsheets and mass emails, with a scalable hiring platform that saves recruiters from the proverbial recruiting hell.
