Amazon and Target Prepare for Holiday Shopping Rush with Massive Hiring Spree

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

Amazon and Target have announced their plans to boost their workforce for the upcoming holiday season. Amazon intends to hire a significant 250,000 full- and part-time employees, marking a 67% increase from the previous year. Similarly, Target has revealed its commitment to adding nearly 100,000 seasonal positions, maintaining the same number as last year. These announcements come on the heels of Macy’s Inc.’s declaration on Monday that it will onboard more than 38,000 full- and part-time seasonal workers at its Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Bluemercury stores nationwide. This represents a slight decrease from the 41,000 seasonal hires planned in 2022. Amazon attributes the increase in available positions to its establishment of over 50 new fulfilment centres, delivery stations, and same-day delivery sites in the United States this year. Additionally, the e-commerce giant has shared plans to invest $1.3 billion in pay raises for warehouse and transportation staff this year, elevating the average pay for these roles from $19 to over $20.50 per hour. John Felton, Amazon’s senior vice president of Worldwide Operations, expressed enthusiasm about the holiday season and the company’s plan to hire 250,000 more workers this year to better serve customers nationwide. To capture consumer attention and provide early holiday shopping opportunities, retailers such as Amazon and Target have been launching holiday deals as early as October, a trend that continues this year. Consumer spending has experienced fluctuations throughout the year, with notable surges in January and subsequent declines in February and March, followed by a recovery in the spring and summer. According to the Commerce Department, retail sales increased by 0.6% in August, partially driven by a significant rise in gas prices. Mastercard SpendingPulse, a tracker of spending across all payment methods, predicts a 3.7% increase in U.S. retail sales (excluding automobiles) from November to late December, representing a decrease from the 7.6% growth observed last year. Deloitte, an accounting firm, also anticipates holiday sales growth, estimating a range between 3.5% and 4.6%.

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

In a historic move, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are scheduled to meet at 1:15 PM and 2:15 PM, respectively, within the premises of the New Parliament Building. The transition from the Old Parliament Building to the new one took place on Monday, with both houses officially recognizing the new edifice as the Parliament House of India. Today, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will conduct their sessions in the modernized Parliament complex, marking a pivotal moment during the five-day Special Session of the Parliament initiated on Monday. The former iconic Parliament Complex, which has served as the ‘temple of democracy’ for over seven decades, will now be preserved as a heritage site, with the New Parliament Complex, inaugurated earlier this year by Prime Minister Modi, taking its place. The notification regarding this significant change was issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat on September 18, designating the new Parliament building located in New Delhi, adjacent to the existing Parliament House with Raisina Road to the south and Red Cross Road to the north, as the Parliament House of India. The Central Hall program, scheduled for 11 AM today at the old Parliament building, will commemorate the rich legacy of the Indian Parliament and reaffirm the commitment to transform India into a developed nation by 2047. Security personnel at the Parliament building have also been outfitted in new uniforms, featuring khaki trousers, cream-colored jackets, cream shirts with pink lotus motifs (for men), and vibrant sarees with jackets (for women), along with turbans for marshals, signalling a distinct dress code. On Monday, both houses adjourned after discussing Parliamentary democracy’s evolution over the last 75 years. Presiding officers confirmed that proceedings would commence in the new Parliament building on Tuesday afternoon. Prior to the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha sessions at noon, all MPs from both houses will assemble for group photographs, symbolizing the shift to the New Parliament Complex.

The Evolution of Streaming Services: From Cable TV to Digital Domination

Leave a Comment / / Blogs
Blog on MEA

The advent of the internet has transformed nearly every aspect of our lives, and the entertainment industry is no exception. Gone are the days when families gathered around the television to watch their favourite shows at a prescribed time. The rise of streaming services has ushered in a new era of entertainment consumption in India. In this blog, we will explore the evolution of streaming services in the Indian context, from the early days of cable TV to the current era of digital domination. The Cable TV Era For decades, cable television was the primary source of entertainment for Indian households. It brought a variety of channels into our homes, offering a mix of regional and international content. Cable TV allowed viewers to watch news, sports, movies, and TV shows, but it had its limitations. Viewers had to adhere to fixed schedules, missing out on shows if they weren’t home at the right time. Moreover, the content was limited, and viewers had little control over what they could watch. The Birth of DTH Services The introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) services in the early 2000s marked a significant shift. DTH providers offered a wider range of channels and improved picture quality. Viewers could now choose from various subscription packages, customizing their entertainment experience to some extent. However, the fundamental constraints of scheduled programming and limited content still prevailed. Also Read: Top 12 Reasons to Attend the ArdorComm ELSA Summit in Bengaluru on 22nd Sept 2023 The Streaming Revolution The real revolution began when streaming services entered the Indian market. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar (now Disney+ Hotstar) were among the pioneers. These platforms allowed users to stream content over the internet, breaking free from the shackles of cable TV schedules. Netflix: Netflix made its debut in India in 2016, introducing a vast library of international and original content. Its ad-free, on-demand streaming model was a breath of fresh air for viewers tired of commercials interrupting their favourite shows. Amazon Prime Video: Amazon Prime Video followed suit, offering a mix of original series, movies, and a diverse catalogue. It also bundled its streaming service with its Prime membership, attracting a considerable audience. Hotstar (Disney+ Hotstar): Hotstar gained popularity for its sports content, including cricket matches and the Indian Premier League (IPL). The platform also featured a wide array of Bollywood and regional content. The Evolution of Regional Content One of the most significant advantages of streaming services was their focus on regional content. India is a diverse nation with multiple languages and cultures, and streaming platforms recognized the importance of catering to these differences. They began producing and showcasing regional content, including web series, movies, and documentaries, attracting a more extensive and diverse audience. Also Read: Eco-friendly Living for Better Health: How Sustainable Choices Improve Well-Being Original Content Boom Streaming platforms not only brought international content to Indian audiences but also invested heavily in producing original Indian content. Shows like “Sacred Games,” “Mirzapur,” and “Paatal Lok” became cultural phenomena. The quality of storytelling, production values, and the freedom to explore diverse themes set a new benchmark for Indian entertainment. Accessibility and Convenience One of the key reasons behind the digital domination of streaming services is their accessibility and convenience. Viewers can watch content on their smartphones, tablets, laptops, or smart TVs, anytime and anywhere. Mobile data becoming more affordable and widespread further facilitated this shift. The Rise of Competition As streaming services gained momentum, more players entered the Indian market. Disney+ Hotstar, Voot, ZEE5, SonyLIV, Jio Cinema and others offered a plethora of options. This competition not only led to a wider choice of content but also competitive pricing, benefitting consumers. Also Read: ArdorComm ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ to be held at Bengaluru, Karnataka on 22nd September 2023 #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka Challenges and Future Prospects While streaming services have come a long way, they are not without challenges. The digital divide still exists in India, with rural areas lacking reliable internet access. Additionally, the rise of OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms has led to discussions about content regulation, which is an ongoing debate. In the future, we can expect further growth and innovation in the streaming industry. The integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into content consumption, interactive storytelling, and personalized recommendations will likely play a significant role. Regional content will continue to flourish, and more players may enter the market. Conclusion The evolution of streaming services in India represents a remarkable journey from the constraints of cable TV to the boundless freedom of digital streaming. The combination of accessibility, convenience, and a diverse content library has propelled streaming platforms to the zenith of entertainment in the Indian context. As technology continues to advance, we can only envision a future brimming with exciting possibilities for this ever-expanding industry. The story of streaming services is one of relentless innovation, expanding horizons, and a renaissance of storytelling, and it continues to captivate audiences across India.

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

SAP Labs India, a branch of the renowned German software company SAP, has ambitious plans to double its workforce in India by 2024, with a specific focus on expanding its AI talent pool. This strategic move is driven by the evolving demands of the business landscape. SAP’s largest global research and development centre, based in Bengaluru, is poised to become the epicentre of the company’s AI advancements. The company is committed to offering readily accessible AI, seamlessly integrated into SAP applications that underpin critical business operations. To achieve this, SAP will bolster its AI capabilities through a combination of new hires and upskilling its current workforce. Presently, the Indian facility houses 15,000 staff members.

Eco-friendly Living for Better Health: How Sustainable Choices Improve Well-Being

Leave a Comment / / Article/Stories
Article

In today’s world, the connection between our environment and our health has never been clearer. The choices we make in our daily lives, from the food we eat to the products we use and how we travel, have a profound impact not only on the planet but also on our personal well-being. Eco-friendly living is not just a trend; it’s a path to better health, both for ourselves and the Earth. In this article, we will explore how adopting eco-friendly practices can lead to improved health outcomes and a more sustainable future. Clean Air, Better Breathing One of the most immediate benefits of eco-friendly living is cleaner air. By reducing our carbon footprint, we help decrease air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Clean air is essential for respiratory health, as poor air quality can exacerbate conditions like asthma and allergies. Embracing sustainable transportation options like cycling, walking, or using electric vehicles can reduce exposure to harmful pollutants, resulting in better lung function and overall well-being. Nutrient-Rich, Sustainable Diets Eco-friendly living often goes hand in hand with sustainable eating habits. Choosing locally sourced, organic, and plant-based foods not only reduces the environmental impact of agriculture but also promotes better nutrition. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are associated with lower rates of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, while also reducing the demand for resource-intensive meat production. Reducing Toxic Exposure Many conventional household and personal care products contain harmful chemicals that can be absorbed through our skin or inhaled. Eco-friendly alternatives are often free from toxic ingredients like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. By making the switch to natural and eco-friendly products, we can reduce our exposure to potentially harmful substances, supporting healthier skin and reducing the risk of adverse health effects. Enhancing Mental Well-Being Spending time in nature has a profound impact on our mental health. Eco-friendly living encourages outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, and gardening, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall mental well-being. The practice of ecotherapy, or nature-based therapy, has gained recognition for its positive effects on mental health. Sustainable Exercise and Recreation Physical activity is crucial for good health, and eco-friendly living often promotes active transportation and recreational activities in natural settings. Biking, hiking, and outdoor sports are not only enjoyable but also help maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve cardiovascular fitness. Reducing Plastic Pollution Plastic pollution is a significant environmental concern, but it also has implications for human health. Plastics can release harmful chemicals into the environment and enter the food chain, potentially affecting human health. Eco-friendly living includes reducing plastic consumption, opting for reusable alternatives, and supporting policies to mitigate plastic pollution’s health impacts. Building Sustainable Communities Eco-friendly living extends beyond individual choices to community-level initiatives. Sustainable urban planning, green spaces, and public transportation systems contribute to healthier communities. Walkable neighbourhoods encourage physical activity, reduce traffic-related pollution, and foster a sense of community well-being. Conclusion Eco-friendly living is not just about saving the planet; it’s also about improving our own health and well-being. By making conscious choices that prioritize sustainability, we can breathe cleaner air, eat healthier foods, reduce toxic exposures, and enjoy the mental and physical benefits of a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. As individuals and communities, we have the power to create a healthier, more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. Embracing eco-friendly living is a positive step in that direction. The author, Pratik Ghosh is associated with ArdorComm Media

Capgemini Unveils its Tenth Employee Share Ownership Program

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

Capgemini is taking significant steps to enhance employee development and performance by introducing a fresh Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP). This initiative is open to nearly 97% of the company’s workforce and will be implemented through a capital increase reserved exclusively for Capgemini employees, with a maximum allocation of 3,200,000 shares. Employees will have the opportunity to acquire Capgemini shares through subscription plans, including leveraged and guaranteed options. These plans will not only allow them to safeguard their invested amount until the shares become accessible but also ensure a certain level of protection. Furthermore, individuals holding these shares will have voting rights, which may vary depending on the specific plan and circumstances. These shareholders may include participants in the Fonds Commun de Placement d’Entreprise (FCPE), employees with direct share ownership, and/or the financial institution overseeing the offer or its affiliated parties. This marks the tenth installment in Capgemini’s ESOP offerings, aimed at maintaining employee shareholding at approximately 8% of Capgemini SE’s share capital. The timeline for this program is as follows: it will be open for participation from September 15 to October 4, 2023 (inclusive), followed by a subscription/revocation period from November 13 to November 15, 2023 (inclusive). The pricing for the new shares will be determined on November 10, 2023, and the increase in share capital will be completed on December 19, 2023. The implementation of the leveraged guaranteed offering will involve hedging transactions conducted by the financial institution responsible for organizing the offer. For this tenth program, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank will be handling these transactions, which may take place in the market or off-market and may include actions such as buying and/or selling shares, acquiring call options, or any other relevant transactions.
