Neeyamo announces Season 2 of Working Beyond Borders
The final pitstop of season 1 of Neeyamo's Working Beyond Borders took place in Singapore on August
Neeyamo is delighted to announce the second season of Working Beyond Borders with a spotlight on the impact of Employer of Record (EOR) on the future of work. This follows the successful completion of season 1 of Working Beyond Borders with its fifth and final pitstop in Singapore on Aug. 4.
Working Beyond Borders is an invite-only event designed to promote networking and collaboration among the brightest minds in the HR, global payroll, and the EOR industry. WBB season 1 was hosted across London, Milan, Manila, and Buenos Aires before the Singapore pitstop to ignite discussions about managing a global workforce and to provide in-depth insights into the rapidly changing payroll landscape.
Businesses today are undergoing a transformational shift. Global expansion is a common thread among successful organizations. However, handling payroll for a global workforce presents unforeseen challenges. With their legacy technologies and processes, organizations often struggle to cope with daily demands.
The Singapore pitstop addressed these unforeseen challenges, including a session on "Key global trends impacting payroll and HR that transform the modern-day workplace" that sparked enthusiastic conversations. Of interest were topics on the desire for a more diverse workforce, the introduction of next-gen technology in global payroll, and the demand for a cloud-based payroll solution that led to a shift in HR professionals' working habits and skillsets.
Rangarajan Seshadri, CEO, Neeyamo, said, "Standardization in HR processes and payroll is often a challenge for many businesses due to varying compliance requirements and the lack of an integrated tech ecosystem. Neeyamo believes that through season 1 of Working Beyond Borders, we created an opportunity for companies to learn, unlearn and re-learn the future of HR and global payroll. With the focus on EOR in season 2, the emphasis will be on helping companies access talent globally and navigate the future of work."

Peter Lake, the World’s Only Anonymous Singer-Songwriter, Releases New Single ACORNS, a Song He Wrote in Response to the Current Recession Fears and Economic...
NEW YORK - August 8, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
In his newly released single called ACORNS, Peter Lake attempts to give a voice to the sign of the times. Without forcing a judgment on a range of topics from the stock market to fossil fuels, Lake summarizes the range of topics that seem to define the times, and which he feels should be cataloged for our "collective memory." Lake suggests that history is often forgotten, but music can be a special tool that helps us remember. Mr. Lake's decision to release the song, merely weeks after two successive singles, reflects his desire to write about contemporary issues as they are happening, a practice he urges other musicians to follow.
Says Lake:
"ACORNS is all about how times change, and how this is neither good nor bad, but just the way of the world. I hear about recession and everything getting expensive. I don't know if these things are true or lasting. I don't even really know what recession means! But there is a vibe that things aren't going well, and we need to get ready for something, and the song tries to get at the new vibe."
Lake goes on, explaining celebrity culture has made music a means of becoming famous. Lake notes that a hundred years ago, it would be "crazy" to go into music for money. "I think music should return to what it was originally, songs that are stories and songs that are about history, current events and the human condition. And most importantly, songs that could be sung in communities and that stand apart from whoever wrote them."
ACORNS is now available globally wherever music is streamed. To learn more about the music of Peter Lake, please visit his social media. @peterlakemusic

Artist Biography:
Peter Lake is a Canadian-born, New York City-based singer-songwriter who revels in anonymity. In an age where privacy is rare, Peter is convinced that his ability to create music is protected by his anonymity, and by working with unconventional partners in an attempt to avoid the constraints of traditional record deals, which often consider recorded music as a means to promote tours.
Peter is the first of a kind: an artist who will only do live concerts via a web-based platform, thereby freeing him to focus exclusively on writing and recording new, original music that crosses all genres. In the process, Peter has assembled one of the largest singer-songwriter catalogs in the industry. His musical influences include Neil Young, Max Martin, David Bowie, Motown, and Drake.
It's no surprise that his songs are hard to place, often flying between (and combining) House beats, crunchy guitar riffs and "traditional chants and natural sounds."
From what we learned in our conversations with the artist, humility does not come naturally. On the other hand, it's hard to consider his views as arrogant, given the intense sincerity with which he describes his plans. When asked about his goal, he replied as follows:
"My goal is to wake up every day and make music, and one day through that process, write and perform what will later be seen as the greatest song in history, a song that will define humankind for centuries."

Sterling Organization Closes Firm’s Sixth Fund, First in Logistics Real Estate Space, With $225 Million in Equity Commitments
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - August 8, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Sterling Organization, a vertically integrated private equity real estate firm whose national platform is focused on investing in LAST HOUR® consumer fulfillment and distribution real estate assets, has announced the final closing of its first Sterling Logistics Properties Fund, Sterling Consumer Logistics Properties I, LP ("SCLP I"). The Fund received total capital commitments of $225 million, which were raised from a diverse institutional investor base including endowments and public pension funds.
SCLP I seeks to opportunistically acquire primarily vacant, freestanding retail buildings with the intent to convert them into Neighborhood Fulfillment Centers. The properties are intended to be leased to third-party logistics providers, e-commerce retailers, traditional retailers, and direct-to-consumer manufacturers for the purpose of distribution of consumer goods to solve the "last mile," or more accurately the LAST HOUR®, delivery dilemma related to both cost and time.
"We can't begin to express how humbled and extremely grateful we are to have the confidence and support of such well-respected institutional investors in our first Logistics Fund offering," said Adam Munder, Principal of Sterling Organization. "We are confident that our investment strategy, combined with the strong team we have assembled, should enable us to take advantage of current market conditions via this unique product offering," added Mr. Munder.
"We all witnessed as shipping and fulfillment became the major battleground for retailers looking to earn, service, and retain customers during the height of the pandemic. What became crystal clear was that all retailers need to focus not only on how quickly a customer can get to a physical store, but how quickly the desired product can get to the customer's home in an economical manner," said Joe Dykstra, President of Sterling Logistics Properties. "As customers demand same-day deliveries - and perhaps within an hour or on demand, all retailers, traditional and digitally native, will have no choice but to lever Neighborhood Fulfillment Centers to compete successfully. We at Sterling Logistics Properties are committed to remaining at the forefront of this evolution from a real estate perspective," added Mr. Dykstra.
"Sterling Logistics Properties was born out of the unprecedented and dynamic acceleration of the online delivery demand for all consumer products, brought on by Covid-19 lockdown. Bringing a real estate solution to life that tackles cost and timing issues facing all retailers as they enact their LAST HOUR® delivery strategy while earning the trust of many institutional LPs that enables us to execute on our strategy is incredibly gratifying. We are committed to executing on the highest level for those partners that have believed in us and our vision for the future of the retail omnichannel experience," said Brian Kosoy, Managing Principal and CEO of Sterling Organization.
Sterling Organization owns 74 properties throughout the U.S., exceeding 12.5 million square feet of gross leasable area and over $2.7 billion in value. The SCLP I Fund currently owns six properties totaling approximately 451,000 square feet of gross leasable area in markets like New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, and Phoenix.

ReturnQueen Sponsors eTail
BOSTON - August 8, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
ReturnQueen, the nation's white glove on-demand online returns concierge, is proud to sponsor the 2022 eTail conference, which will take place in Boston on Aug. 8-10. There, ReturnQueen will join retail's top industry disruptors and innovators in shaping the future of ecomm.
A key partner for essentially any online retailer selling tangible goods, ReturnQueen was a natural fit for one of this year's coveted eTail sponsorships. The brand, which is the first-to-market of its kind, was created as an answer to the 87% of shoppers who will not shop an etailer again following a poor return experience (Parcel Industry, 2021).
"ReturnQueen makes returns seamless and easy for consumers, while building valuable customer retention for retailers. Our service and analytics are a true industry game changer," says Daphna Englard, Vice President of Design at ReturnQueen.
Available via mobile app or ecomm platform plug-in, ReturnQueen eliminates all of consumers' traditional online return process pain points—including boxing and packing items, printing labels and shipping the merchandise back to the retailer. Instead, users can enjoy dropping their items for return by their front door, and the ReturnQueen's "purple nation" of drivers will haul, pack, label and return all unwanted items back to the retailer. Behind ReturnQueen's incredibly user-friendly interface are powerful backend analytics designed to help businesses optimize product design and merchandise mix.
ReturnQueen currently encompasses over 8,000 US zip codes with ongoing plans for major expansion as new return hubs launch across the country. It will also continue to rapidly evolve its service offerings to ensure users are truly able to return anything, from anywhere, wholly embodying the slogan, "Returns Made Easy."
