Perkbox reimagines global reward and benefits for the post-pandemic world

Leave a comment

LONDON, Aug. 18, 2021 — Perkbox, the global benefits and reward platform, today announces its new offering to help employers care for, connect with, and celebrate their people around the world.

The new location agnostic Perkbox platform enables employers to harmonise their global employee experience and create cost and time efficiencies, while delivering bespoke wellbeing, recognition, and engagement offerings to each employee. Perkbox already supports over 5,000 businesses and more than 600,000 users across more than 34 countries.

The new platform launch comes as HR leaders worldwide grapple with a unique set of circumstances, brought about, or accelerated, by the COVID-19 pandemic:

  • Employee wellbeing is in freefall. Nine in ten employees faced new wellbeing challenges in 2020[1], as burnout from balancing work and life becomes a greater issue
  • The employee/employer relationship is changing. Work from home-induced introspection has left many people looking for more from their employer and work.
  • International, distributed working models are on the rise. Hybrid and remote working are making it more difficult to create a clear and attractive organisational culture across multiple locations.
  • There’s a new talent landscape. New ways of working have also unlocked a truly international pool of talent, giving businesses the option to recruit from anywhere in the world.

In response, Perkbox’s reimagined, unified platform helps HR leaders create a stronger employee value proposition, built around caring for, connecting with, and celebrating employees, wherever they’re based.

Employees can access the platform via web or a powerful single app. It’s organised into four ‘hubs’, each offering support in a key area, and integrates seamlessly with existing single sign on (SSO) and human resources information systems (HRIS) – creating a frictionless experience for both employees and HR administrators.

Wellness hub. Supporting employees’ wellbeing is vital in itself, and it boosts retention and engagement.[2] The Wellness hub enables employers to meaningfully support this area by providing access to carefully curated, constantly updated wellbeing content. Employees can choose what works for them – from hypnosis and therapy audios to HIIT workouts and meditation guides.

Perks hub. Perks hub enables employers to overcome the stifling complexity of the global benefits market, while providing employees with the huge variety of global deals, discounts and benefits needed to fulfil individual requirements. There is also the option for employers to offer a monthly ‘Flexi points’ allowance. Employees can redeem these, at no cost to themselves, against a wide range of ‘Flexi Perks’, from coffees and entertainment subscriptions to mindfulness apps – and much more.

Celebration hub. Building a culture of appreciation can help drive motivation and engagement.  Celebration hub helps strengthen the connections between all employees and employers, regardless of location, by enabling leaders to visibly recognise and reward their people in a personalised way. Recognitions can also be linked to company values – helping businesses reward behaviours that embody what they stand for.

Culture hub. This helps create cultural alignment and a greater sense of togetherness across all parts of the business, by providing a single source for news and company initiatives.  It reduces reliance on leaders in each location to cascade information – saving their time and that of HR leaders.

Gautam Sahgal, CEO, Perkbox comments: "Organisations are becoming increasingly diverse – with people of different demographics spread across different geographies. This is presenting HR leaders with a two-pronged challenge: how to create a clear, common, and compelling culture for the evolving, international workforce. And how to create a reward and benefits offering that provides genuine value to everybody, wherever they are.

"We want Perkbox to be the simple, cost-effective answer to the global challenges and opportunities the new age of work poses. The platform is the result of an incredibly in-depth investigation into what our clients truly want from us. We took the time to ask HR leaders why they chose Perkbox and, in today’s working world, the ability to harmonise wellbeing, recognition and engagement across markets was seen as vital. This is the strategic imperative to help organisations attract, retain and inspire the talent they need to succeed."

About Perkbox

Perkbox is the global benefits and rewards platform that allows companies to care for, connect with and celebrate their employees, no matter where they are and what they want. Location agnostic, it supports over 5,000 businesses and more than 600,000 users across 34 countries and counting.

LG Display Highlights its ESG Management in Sustainability Report for 2021

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 13, 2021 — LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, highlights its ESG management by outlining the company’s ESG activities and achievements in pursuit of a greener planet in its Sustainability Report for 2021.

LG Display publishes a Sustainability Report every year to share the activities and achievements it has pursued to attain sustainable management goals.
LG Display publishes a Sustainability Report every year to share the activities and achievements it has pursued to attain sustainable management goals.

To promote sustainability management and reach its goal of becoming the most sustainable display solution company in the world, LG Display has identified and implemented four key strategies: Internalization of CSR, CSR risk management, communication with stakeholders, and global engagement – all key pillars to the company’s core mission of being a sustainability company founded on stakeholder trust.

The company has also promoted eco-friendly management throughout the display industry with active investments and activities designed to heighten the supply chain’s eco-friendliness. And after setting its new "Safety, Health, Energy and Environment Policy," the company was able to adopt an integrated standard system that minimizes its products’ environmental impact from the design, production, distribution and logistics processes, to when they are being used and recycled during disposal.

LG Display is just as dedicated to implementing practices directly affecting the everyday consumer, with the company now exclusively developing and manufacturing products that emit far less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than conventional displays. LG Display has made every effort to eliminate VOCs from the supply and manufacturing processes involved in making its panels, including developing and manufacturing OLED TV products that emit 50 percent less VOCs than LCD TV panels by using fewer plastic parts. LG Display’s OLED additionally boasts a 92.7 percent recycling rate, one that is higher than its LCD counterpart. In recognition of such efforts, the company received Eco-Product certification in 2020 from Swiss-based SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company.

In addition, LG Display is focused on the development and expansion of its eco-friendly products. To that end, the company created ‘Eco Index,’ which measures a company’s green performance from the product development stage to help them enhance their use of resources, energy, and hazardous substances. The company also recently began significantly reducing its packaging by recycling packaging materials for OLED panels.

LG Display revealed its strategy in response to the rapidly growing threat of climate change. The company has invested over KRW 37 billion to replace sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) with unregulated greenhouse gases boasting low global warming potential values, while also establishing facilities that help the company reduce more than 90 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, LG Display successfully reduced approximately 3 million tons of CO2-eq, a 39 percent decrease from 2014.

By 2050, the company aims to have decreased company-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 75.6 percent compared to 2014 and achieved a 100 percent waste recycle rate, both through the development of low-carbon clean production technologies.

Moreover, LG Display takes part in the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), which is recognized as a world-renowned authority in the field of environmental information disclosure. The company has been rewarded for its Green House Gas reduction efforts by being incorporated into the Carbon Management Honors Club for the fourth consecutive year since 2017. LG Display also maintained its status as an excellent company for 3 straight years since 2018 for its excellence in environmental impact management.

Most notably, this year the company joined the influential Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) which encourages close cooperation between its members, supply chains, and stakeholders to enhance working and environmental conditions and improve business performance based on a proven Code of Conduct. Moreover, investment research firm MSCI (formerly known as Morgan Stanley Capital International) upgraded its ESG ratings for LG Display from A to AA earlier this year, evaluating LG Display most favorably in the areas of chemical safety, controversial outsourcing, and opportunities in clean tech. This puts LG Display among the highest-rated companies in South Korea and display manufacturers worldwide.

As the world’s leading display company, LG Display is focused on constantly innovating and improving the value and quality of its products. In 2020, the company expanded its R&D investment and implemented 20 company-wide initiatives through Tear Down Redesign – an organization that puts experts from various fields together on time-based projects for solving specific problems. In addition, LG Display outlined the work it is undertaking to create innovative, differentiated values and opportunities in the display market based on its strengths and competitiveness.

"We will continue to elevate our contribution to society and meet the expectations from the stakeholders, not only on the business results, but also in all areas of ESG, including environment, social responsibility and governance," said James Hoyoung Jeong, CEO of LG Display. "As a pioneer of the OLED display industry, LG Display will further strengthen its business portfolio centered around OLED and grow to become a company that can offer even unexpected values to our customers."

This year’s LG Display Sustainability Report was published in a total of four languages – Korean, Chinese, English and Vietnamese.

Key Foundry Reinforces Design Support for Fabless Customers

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 11, 2021 — Key Foundry, the only pure-play foundry in Korea, announced today that it has developed a customer-friendly semiconductor design support tool named PDK Version E (Process Design Kit, enhanced version), and begun its offering to fabless companies.

A PDK is a semiconductor fabrication process-related database offered by a foundry company. This database enables customers to create designs that are well-suited for the foundry service provider’s fabrication processes and equipment characteristics.

Recently, PDK has become a key indicator of foundry service provider’s technical strength. When fabless companies use well-defined PDKs, they can reduce risks that may occur during semiconductor manufacturing and shorten the time for development.

Key Foundry has been offering PDKs that support environments of major chip design tool companies such as Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens, etc. to help customer design. PDK version E was developed by adding a PDK setup environment (PDK Organizer) and gate-level PCells (GCELL) to improve customer design convenience.

The PDK setup environment helps customers build user environments suitable for their product designs and allows the customization of the entire PDK set compared to the existing method that supports customization of only part of the PDK set. In addition, GCELL, the first feature introduced in the foundry industry, supports functional units consisting of combinations of basic unit devices, which improve design convenience and reduce design time, unlike traditional methods that support only independent basic unit devices provided in the fabrication process.

Key Foundry has applied PDK Version E to all of its BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) processes and continues expanding the application to Mixed-Signal, Embedded Flash and High Voltage processes. In particular, for BCD processes, where demand has been increasing in recent years, Key Foundry expects PDK Version E with additional updated models which more accurately represent silicon characteristics compared to the previous one will provide an opportunity to expand the customer base. 

In a recent customer satisfaction survey conducted by Key Foundry, the majority of customers who have used PDK Version E gave positive feedback that the tool was helpful, and they intend to continue using it for future designs. It is deemed that the tool’s easy customization of design environments and high design and layout convenience are major reasons for the positive survey result.

"Key Foundry has made years of relentless development and verification efforts to reinforce design support for our fabless customers," said Dr. Tae Jong Lee, CEO of Key Foundry. "We will continue striving to perfect our foundry service by improving our PDKs and grow the competitiveness of our process technology."

CloudSense ramps up B2B selling with upgraded capabilities in latest release of CPQ application suite

Leave a comment

New features on the CloudSense platform will simplify and speed up B2B customer engagement in key industries

LONDON, Aug. 10, 2021 — CloudSense, provider of the world’s most powerful Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) engine, empowers leading brands to launch, sell and manage the entire B2B customer lifecycle for sophisticated products, subscriptions and services. With the latest release (R34) of its category-defining SaaS platform, CloudSense has taken another step towards helping Communications, Media and Utility companies to increase the speed and efficiency of serving their customers. Highlights of the new release include the following capabilities:

 

  • Bulk Subscriber Management, a wholly new addition to CloudSense Order Management enables mass customer product upgrades and service changes for Telcos and Utilities.  It gives them the freedom to roll out competition-enhancing offers, such as the addition of new 5G tariffs to thousands or even millions of end users at speed knowing they can be executed in hours rather than days.
  • The full integration of Magnite (the world’s largest independent sell-side media advertising exchange) with the CloudSense media platform allows publishers to access new revenue streams directly from their main sales platform interface.
  • The new release also reduces the time and cost of managing programmatic guaranteed business for media companies.  Integrations with Google’s demand-side programmatic buying platform, DV360, are now available. These make it easy to formulate optimized Programmatic Guarantee proposals for business customers without leaving the CloudSense platform, and faster to close new business.
  • With self-service channels becoming increasingly important for B2B as well as B2C markets, CloudSense has also introduced advanced functionality around pricing into its Digital Commerce offering. The new Advanced Pricing capability allows CloudSense customers to build highly tailored, individually branded self-service experiences that match the different end-user roles of its B2B customers. Importantly, options for each end-user customer will reflect pricing that has been negotiated within the overall contract for that specific account.

"Enterprises in Communications, Media and Utilities are in a race to transform their businesses to thrive in a digital-first world.  Speed and efficiency in and across revenue operations is essential. All too often however, solutions fall short of power and flexibility to support their more complex B2B use cases at scale.  In our latest release, we’ve added meaningful functionality that is ready to use and quick to deliver business impact," said Alex Fuller, CTO, CloudSense.

About CloudSense

The CloudSense Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) engine powers increased productivity and profits for ambitious enterprises allowing them to launch faster, sell more and fulfill orders faultlessly. Its growing global community of customers span multiple industries including Communications, Media and Energy. Leading brands including Telefonica, Telstra, Informa and British Gas are using CloudSense’s portfolio of applications to streamline the entire customer lifecycle to provide a better customer experience while improving business performance.  To find out more, visit CloudSense.com
