Giving Back! This Year More Than Ever

Study Finds Link Between Generosity and Life Satisfaction

TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As businesses enter a season usually filled with in-person holiday parties and an abundance of team-building volunteer opportunities, COVID-19 has changed the way companies give back this year in a time when the need is great.

Express Employment Professionals offices around North America participate year-round in the company’s philanthropic endeavor known as the Brand It Blue Initiative. The program encourages community involvement borne out of the servant leadership mindset of Express, and particularly in 2020, offices have had to find creative ways to invest in communities while mitigating virus exposure.

One way to get involved is to take part in this year’s GivingTuesday on Dec. 1. GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday.

“Now more than ever, our local communities need assistance, in many capacities,” said Jessica Culo, Express franchise owner in Edmonton, Alberta. “It is great turning point for organizations to evaluate their mandates and figure out what they can do or give to help. Employees want to see their companies doing this, as well.”

This year, Culo notes that in lieu of corporate gifts, “each member of our team is going to select a charity of their choice and Express will donate to that charity. We will share the list of organizations that we give to with our clients, as we are doing this in their honor, and in appreciation of them.”

Daniel Purdy, Express franchise owner in Abbotsford, British Columbia, calls local businesses the backbone of an economy and a reflection of the community in which they serve. 

“Local charities, non-profits and philanthropic organizations represent a community’s most pressing needs, simply through their existence and mission,” he said.

Purdy believes it is important for local businesses to be involved philanthropically in their communities but “other than goodwill and the occasional compliment, we never expect to receive a return on our contributions, philanthropy or generosity. We operate from a position of duty, responsibility and moral imperative to assist those in need.”

The sentiments of many Express franchise owners align with a study from The Ascent, which found that generosity is not only beneficial to the recipient but also leads to increased life satisfaction for the giver.

Seventy-four per cent of people determined to have high generosity tendencies reported satisfaction with life over the past year compared to 60% with low generosity. Seventy per cent of respondents with high generosity also said they were satisfied with their careers, while only 49% with low generosity said the same. The majority of high generosity individuals (81%) agreed that life has been meaningful over the past year in contrast with 49% of low generosity people.

“In order for businesses to thrive, the community must thrive too,” said Niven Lee, Express franchise owner in Delta, British Columbia.

In June of each year, Lee’s franchise organizes a food drive with one of the largest food banks in metro Vancouver along with many of the companies in the community. This year for his team’s “Pay It Forward” effort, they will donate a portion of the profits from the companies that provide a temporary or permanent job to one of their job seekers during the holiday season. 

“Businesses will get much needed help and job seekers will get work and money for Christmas,” Lee said. “More importantly, it provides those impacted by the pandemic the opportunity to work at a new company and/or the experience of working in a different industry.”

Bruce Hein, Express owner in Sarnia, Ontario, notes that his franchise has also helped the local food bank. Leading up to the summer, he and the Sarnia team partner with 300 companies in the community to help the local food bank when donations are lower and children are home from school without access to school nutrition programs.

“Through initiatives like our food drive or sitting on local boards and committees, we have been able to develop relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders who now turn to Express for help with hiring or job search assistance,” Hein said.

Terry Stewart, Express owner in Surrey, British Columbia, notes that COVID-19 has made life a challenge for most of us. I feel those of us who have done alright need to do our part to help those who have not by giving more to a food bank and donating money and presents to families who could use a helping hand.”

Hanif Hermani, Express Managing Director in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, notes that his office is involved in community efforts and contributes to a number of non-profits.

“Business is not separate from community, rather complementary to community. If the community thrives, it positively impacts the business climate,” he said.

An important way the Saskatoon office gives back to community is by conducting presentations and learning sessions with local non-profit agencies that assist job seekers.

“Everyone needs a little kindness this holiday season in what has been a tough year for many,” Express CEO Bill Stoller said. “I encourage those who can afford to spare a little cash or time in the coming weeks to find a cause close to your heart to provide a bit of goodwill to others that won’t soon be forgotten.”

About Exro Technologies
Inc.

Exro is a Clean Tech company that has developed a new class of control technology for electric powertrains.  Exro’s advanced motor control technology, our “Coil Driver”, has been designed to expand the capabilities of electric motors and powertrains. The Coil Driver enables two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is calibrated for low speed and high torque, while the second provides expanded operation at high speed. The ability to change configuration allows efficiency optimization for each operating mode, resulting in overall reductions in energy consumption. The controller automatically and seamlessly selects the appropriate configuration in real time so that torque demand and efficiency are optimized.

The limitations of traditional electric machines and power technology are becoming more evident. In many increasingly prominent applications, traditional methods cannot meet the required performance. This means either oversizing the equipment, adding additional motors, or implementing heavy mechanical geared solutions. Exro offers a new solution for system optimization through implementation of its technology which can yield the following results: increased drive cycle efficiency, reduced system volume, reduced weight, expanded torque and speed capabilities. Exro allows the application to achieve more with less energy consumed.

NLRB Ruling in FDRLST Twitter Joke Case Lacks Common Sense and Sense of Humor, Says NCLA

Joel Fleming v. FDRLST Media, LLC

Washington, D.C., Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The New Civil Liberties Alliance will challenge a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that upheld the decision of Administrative Law Judge Kenneth W. Chu in the case of Joel Fleming v. FDRLST Media, LLC. NLRB has concluded that it was an unfair labor practice for Ben Domenech, publisher and co-founder of FDRLST Media, to have posted a satirical tweet from his personal account.

NCLA, a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, maintains the panel’s decision is flawed and that NLRB has subjected FDRLST to an onerous enforcement action where the agency lacks both subject-matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction under the Constitution and under NLRB’s own established practice. For starters, the National Labor Relations Act does not empower random people like Mr. Fleming, who was not “aggrieved” by the tweet and has no relationship to Mr. Domenech or FDRLST Media’s employees, to weaponize the NLRB’s investigatory processes against others with whom he disagrees and impose great costs on them. Further, FDRLST is not based in New York, and the alleged “unfair labor practice” did not occur in and was not directed at anyone residing in New York. Yet NLRB dragged the defendant into that jurisdiction.

The panel has ignored the fact that three employees of The Federalist submitted affidavits, testifying that the personal tweet in question by Mr. Domenech (who is not a party in this case) was, in fact, a joke, and that the employees took it as such, therefore, the tweet did not threaten FDRLST’s employees.

Additionally, the panel has ordered FDRLST to “direct Domenech to delete the statement from his personal Twitter account, and to take appropriate steps to ensure Domenech complies with the directive.” But FDRLST—as a media publication—does not regulate the personal speech of its employees, including that of Mr. Domenech, and there is no mechanism that would allow the company to demand he remove the tweet from his personal account.

NCLA will now appeal NLRB’s ruling to a federal appeals court.

NCLA released the following statements:

“Today’s decision shows that NLRB lacks both common sense and a sense of humor. It disregarded sworn employee statements saying that they perceived the tweet as just a joke. Apparently, NLRB thinks that to protect employees, the government must ignore them. We look forward to vindicating FDRLST Media in the U.S. Court of Appeals.”

– Adi Dynar, NCLA Litigation Counsel

“Despite the optimism we had, given that the law is on our client’s side, it comes as no real surprise that the NLRB refused to limit its own unconstitutional overreach. NCLA looks forward to raising our arguments before a federal court.”

Jared McClain, NCLA Litigation Counsel

Greybrook Realty Partners Invests US$15,465,000 to Expand a Multi-Family Residential Project Currently Under Development With PMG in Miami, Florida

TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Greybrook Realty Partners Inc. announced today the successful closing of an equity investment by its managed issuer of US$15,465,000 to acquire and oversee the development of a prime parcel of land in Miami, Florida. Together with its developer partner, PMG, the firm intends to develop the land located at 2407 NW 2nd Avenue into a mixed-use multi-family residential building. This project is an expansion of an existing project with PMG on the adjacent parcel of land located along NW 2nd Avenue and NW 25th Street, which was acquired in 2019 and is currently under development. Part of Society Living, a national platform of thoughtfully designed social communities, the expanded project is expected to yield over 280 rental units and more than 50,000 square feet of retail.

The site, occupying the Northeast corner of NW 24th Street and NW 2nd Avenue, is situated in the heart of Miami’s dynamic Wynwood neighbourhood. Centrally located within the flourishing urban art district, the development site offers convenient access to an abundance of lifestyle amenities as well as a growing number of tech and creative enterprises. The expanded development site will now span a full block along NW 2nd Avenue, the major retail and entertainment thoroughfare in Wynwood.   In addition to a premium location, the eight-storey multi-family community will offer a growing urban renter population the opportunity to access attainably priced housing options, extensive social amenities and a tech-enabled lifestyle.     

“This acquisition enables us to not only expand our mixed-use multi-family development along a full block at the epicentre of Wynwood, it also allows us to unlock additional value, improve the building design and attract high-quality retail tenants to our prime location along NW 2nd Avenue,” stated Sami Mouaket, Senior Vice President, Institutional Capital Markets, Greybrook Realty Partners. “Our Society Wynwood community will be a fantastic addition to one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Miami and a great example of the types of first-class locations we look for as we actively evaluate new urban markets across the U.S. for our next Society Living community with PMG”.

Society Wynwood is Greybrook’s third project with developer partner PMG featuring a Society Living community. Together with the Society Las Olas development in Fort Lauderdale and the Society Biscayne development in downtown Miami, Greybrook continues to expand its portfolio of U.S. multi-family assets, which includes the development of over 2,100 traditional and co-living rental units across Southern Florida.
