Packaged Facts Analyst Weighs in on Work-at-Home Employee Coffee Packages

ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Now more than ever, employees are working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic. This necessary shift has quickly moved many office workers to work-at-home positions, doubling or even tripling the number of Americans working at home

ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Now more than ever, employees are working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic. This necessary shift has quickly moved many office workers to work-at-home positions, doubling or even tripling the number of Americans working at home according to The Wall Street Journal.

Although working at home may be temporary for some employees, companies are rethinking their positions on remote work. Many employers are planning to allow employees to work from home at least some of the time going forward, while a number are receptive to full-time remote jobs.

In the new work-from-home age, some companies are spending money on perks for at-home employees to keep and attract talent. For instance, Firstbase is a company that provides a package of home office supplies (e.g., ergonomic chairs, desks, microphones, laptops, and monitors), which are paid for on a monthly basis by employers for use by their at-home workers. Firstbase has reported a more than 550% jump in the number of companies on its wait list since before March this year. The company reports that clients are opting for customized packages, and that a number of them are sending each employee their own coffee machine and a coffee bean subscription.

According to Packaged Facts analyst Cara Rasch, «Offices are expected to be smaller in the future, shrinking the traditional customer base for office coffee service providers. As more people begin permanently working from home, office coffee service providers will need to change their business models to target this market for continued sales.»

She adds, «Offering coffee subscriptions or replenishment services to employers for remote workers can maintain office coffee service sales and prevent the sales base from shrinking even as people no longer work on-location. Subscriptions are a way for employers to deliver perks to their work-at-home employees and retain top talent while enhancing productivity.»

Cara Rasch explains that the market for single-serve and personalized coffee options are particularly important to the work-at-home market. «Single-serve options are great for remote workers since they might be at home alone or making coffee only for themselves.»

Giving employees a choice about the types of coffee they receive at home from their employers can also be important to ensuring satisfaction. «Everyone has different tastes, and employers no longer have to offer office coffee intended to appeal to a wide audience. Subscriptions sent directly to an employee can cater to their specific tastes,» reveals Rasch.

Although targeting companies for incentive programs that distribute products to remote workers is a logical step for office coffee service providers, they can also begin offering services directly to consumers as some coffee vendors already have. According to Rasch, «Coffee subscriptions can save consumers money over regularly buying coffee at retail. Some employers may not offer these benefits to their work-at-home employees, but consumers can sign up themselves for convenient delivery or pickup of coffee staples they use while working at home.»

Safer at Home: James Cameron and Suzy Amis Cameron Launch Online K-12 School providing a Safe, Creative Approach to Online Learning.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In a world full of uncertainty, MUSE Virtual aims to bring families peace of mind this fall. Parents are faced with a tough decision about the upcoming school year: Do they enroll their children in a physical, in-person school or do they teach them at home?

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In a world full of uncertainty, MUSE Virtual aims to bring families peace of mind this fall. Parents are faced with a tough decision about the upcoming school year: Do they enroll their children in a physical, in-person school or do they teach them at home?

As a solution, noted filmmaker and explorer James Cameron, and environmental advocate and author Suzy Amis Cameron, announced the launch of MUSE Virtual, an online learning platform responsive to the challenges of parents looking for innovative educational options for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. MUSE Virtual is inspired by the internationally recognized, award-winning MUSE School.

While there is no solid evidence whether children are more or less likely to spread COVID-19 than adults, sending children to a physical school could potentially present a higher risk of infection to others. There’s also the question of compliance. Experts say there’s a «sweet-spot period» that ranges from second grade to late middle school.  However, both young and high school children have a difficult time following safety protocols – either from lack of understanding, or from rebellion and search for independence.

Many who advocate for a return to in-person learning mention the impact a remote learning program might bring to students and parents’ schedules.  MUSE Virtual differentiates itself from other virtual platforms by utilizing a regular school schedule – starting early in the morning and going until mid-afternoon with live classes, where teachers interact with students similarly to an in-person school. To give students a sense of normalcy, MUSE Virtual added cameras to each classroom which follow teachers as they instruct.  This gives students, teachers and their peers the opportunity to interact in real time.

MUSE Virtual’s online learning platform is now accepting enrollment applications for the Fall 2020 semester.  For more information, please visit musevirtualschool.com to apply.  

About MUSE Virtual 

MUSE Virtual is an online learning program that builds on and expands the internationally-acclaimed K-12 MUSE School in Calabasas, Calif. Founded in 2005 with a mission of inspiring and preparing young people to live consciously with themselves, one another, and the planet, the school now has more than 200 enrolled students, all of whom are empowered to become future leaders through MUSE’s 5 Pillar approach to education: Passion-Based Learning, Academics, Sustainability, Communication, and Self-Efficacy. Created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MUSE Virtual invites others to join its thriving community of educators and avid learners, offering families forward-thinking, holistic educational options now and for the future.

As the Nation Continues Struggle with COVID-19, Survey Shows Americans Value Outdoor Space More than Ever, Yet Over Half Treat their Lawns with Controversial Pesticides like Glyphosate

LONDONDERRY, N.H., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A new nationwide survey1 from Stonyfield Organic finds that 85% of Americans have sought sanctuary in the great outdoors during COVID-19, with 52% of respondents saying a daily walk outside kept them «sane» and 50% frequently spent time in…

LONDONDERRY, N.H., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A new nationwide survey1 from Stonyfield Organic finds that 85% of Americans have sought sanctuary in the great outdoors during COVID-19, with 52% of respondents saying a daily walk outside kept them «sane» and 50% frequently spent time in their yard or a public park.  Perhaps the greatest silver lining is that forty-three percent of respondents also said they now appreciate the outdoors «more than ever.»  The escape to the great outdoors also applied to the country’s four-legged friends with 64% of respondents saying they took more walks with their dogs during quarantine.

Despite the nation’s appreciation of the outdoors as a sanctuary from the ongoing pandemic, most Americans (56%) say they still use glyphosate or other harmful pesticides to treat their own lawns and green spaces.  Additionally, 65% of playing fields in the U.S. are sprayed with harmful pesticides2 like glyphosate, 2,4-D and Dicamba, a source of concern for chemical exposure at a time when many people and pets are relying on them as never before.

Continuing its work to stop the use of harmful pesticides not just in the food we eat, but also in the country’s green spaces, Stonyfield Organic, the country’s leading organic yogurt maker, is announcing the latest phase of its #PlayFree initiative.  This year, in addition to providing resources and actionable steps for consumers to make a switch to organic lawn maintenance at home, Stonyfield Organic is also teaming up with 14 new communities to convert outdoor fields and parks to organic grounds management. 

Since the launch of #PlayFree in 2018, Stonyfield Organic has contributed over $2 million dollars to the initiative, teaming up with 35 communities nationwide to assist with their transitions to organic grounds management and bringing organic model fields to millions of people.

«With appreciation for outdoor spaces at a high, we want to make sure people know how to enjoy them to the fullest by making sure they are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides,» said Gary Hirshberg, Stonyfield Organic co-founder and Chief Organic Optimist.  «The primary reason Americans continue to treat their own yards with pesticides is because they are skeptical that organic maintenance can be as impactful as chemical maintenance.  That’s simply not the case as we have seen tremendous results from our participating StonyFIELD #PlayFree communities, who are reporting not only healthier parks and fields but also a decrease in maintenance costs over time.  Given this success and the increasing importance of time spent outside, it’s our continued mission to bring organic maintenance, without the use of harmful pesticides, to as many communities and backyards as possible.»

Each of this year’s selected communities will receive a monetary donation to use toward the purchase of organic inputs and/or landscaping equipment needed for organic grounds management.  The communities will also receive technical support and guidance underwritten by Stonyfield from the yogurt maker’s expert collaborators, including Beyond Pesticides, Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, Osborne Organics and Midwest Grows Green.

The newest 14 communities to team up with Stonyfield Organic for organic field conversions include:

  • Cambridge, MA
  • Chicago, IL
  • Great Neck, NY
  • Madison, WI
  • Manchester, NH
  • Northampton, MA *donation will go towards training new staff on organic maintenance
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • Portland, ME
  • Select fields in Hawaii
  • South Orange, NJ
  • Tempe, AZ
  • Tucson, AZ
  • Virginia Beach, VA
  • Wilmington, NC

Philadelphia Councilmember Cindy Bass, of the 8th District, is proud to team up with Stonyfield Organic and Non-Toxic Neighborhoods to support the City of Philadelphia’s Organic & Regenerative Pilot Park Project.  «This project is a continuation of our commitment to creating healthy and clean environments, particularly in underserved communities which have been plagued by issues of enhanced exposure to environmental toxins,» said Bass.

Going to the Dogs
Stonyfield Organic is encouraging people to start at home with organic lawn and garden maintenance, both for the health of their families as well as their pets who can be even more vulnerable to the adverse effects of pesticides. In fact, studies have shown dogs have a 70% higher risk of canine lymphoma cancer after herbicide-treated lawn exposure than dogs not exposed.3

In describing the most important ways they care for their pets, limiting exposure to pesticides was ranked as the lowest priority overall and the majority of pet parents (58%) were not aware that public parks are using pesticides to treat the grass where their pups run and play.  Paradoxically, 75% of pet owners think it’s important for humans to take their shoes off before entering a house, but 77% don’t wipe their pet’s paws after outside play and walks, leaving the door open for pesticide residue to be tracked inside the home.  What’s even more alarming, 74% of dog owners also said they let their dog sleep on the bed or couch!

«From a pet perspective, the issue of pesticides on backyards, parks and fields – and the negative health effects they can have on our pets – is one that I wish more pet parents were aware of,» said celebrity veterinarian Dr. Lisa Lippman, DVM.  «In fact, given that pesticides may cause anything such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even seizures or death in dogs,4 I think it’s very important that pet parents take steps to limit their dogs’ exposure and I encourage everyone to check out the great resources Stonyfield has provided on its website for people to make change both in their own backyards as well as local communities.»

Stonyfield Organic’s #PlayFree initiative deepens the mission-led brand’s commitment to issues beyond the food aisle by shedding light on an often-overlooked issue. In a 2018 survey,5 Stonyfield Organic found that while most American parents (69%) are looking to lessen their children’s exposure to pesticides in food, nearly the same number (67%) do not consider exposure at sports fields, playgrounds and parks to be of concern. Stonyfield is eager to bring attention to this issue by empowering everyone to make change locally and at home to protect the health of children, their pets and the environment.

«Several of the most commonly used chemicals on playing fields are either proven or likely endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with the development of children’s immune, reproductive, and metabolic systems,» says Philip Landrigan, MD, MSc, Founding Director of the Children’s Environmental Health Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and author of the book Children and Environmental Toxins: What Everyone Needs to Know. «I applaud Stonyfield and its collaborators for this initiative and encourage all parents to get involved in their local communities.»

Buffalo-area Student Publishes Children’s Book Aimed at Encouraging Others

BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With a goal of inspiring confidence and providing encouragement to other kids, one Buffalo United Charter School student can add published author to her list of accomplishments.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With a goal of inspiring confidence and providing encouragement to other kids, one Buffalo United Charter School student can add published author to her list of accomplishments.

At only nine years old, Nariya White is headed into the fifth grade for the upcoming school year.  She was inspired to write a book that aims to tackle bullying and challenges with others head-on. Nariya began writing her book in February and worked on it throughout the spring. With the help of her mother, the pair found an illustrator to bring the words to life.

«I just want other kids to know that no matter what, you can do anything you put your mind to,» said Nariya. «Don’t let anyone tell you differently or make you feel you are not good enough to do the things you want. If there are people who do not want to be your friends, it does not matter because you have a family that loves you.»

After several months of work, her book «A Slimetastic Day» was published through Amazon. The story highlights the story of two girls who get picked on by two boys in their class. The girls challenge boys to a contest to see who can create the best slime. The 24-page, full-color children’s book features vivid illustrations to coincide with the story.

Nariya began learning at Buffalo United in kindergarten and has advanced over the past five years. Vanessa Boyd, fourth-grade teacher at Buffalo United, shared that Nariya set her mind to improving her English language arts (ELA) skills and after putting in the hard work, she ultimately triumphed.

«Having Nariya in class was a pleasure. She was always bubbly and enthusiastic,» said Boyd. «The fact that she’s published her first book at such a young age is an amazing accomplishment!»

To date, the mother-daughter-duo has sold more than 150 copies. «A Slimetastic Day» is available on Amazon. Nariya plans to continue writing in the future to publish additional books over time.

«I am very happy and excited to be a published author,» Nariya said.

MIAMI, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Consistent with the decision announced today by the members of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) to voluntarily extend the pause in U.S. cruise embarkations until Oct. 31, 2020, Carnival Cruise Line has informed guests and travel advisors that we have cancelled all cruises scheduled to embark between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31.

Guests are being offered an enhanced value package of a future cruise credit and onboard credit, or a full refund.

If conditions in the U.S. change and short and modified sailings are possible, the industry may consider an earlier restart, and we would consider that as well.  In the meantime, we will continue to work with public health and government officials to finalize enhanced health and sanitation protocols and procedures that will guide our eventual return to service.

We thank our guests for their continued patience and support as we work through these difficult decisions.  When the time is right, our terrific onboard team will be waiting to welcome our guests back to give them the great vacation they deserve.

Foundation for Chiropractic Progress Survey Shows Most Chronic Pain in Gen Z Begins Before Age 16

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The majority of Americans in Generation Z, ages 18 to 24, reported they first experienced chronic neck, shoulder or back pain when they were younger than age 16, according to survey results released today from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the value of chiropractic care.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The majority of Americans in Generation Z, ages 18 to 24, reported they first experienced chronic neck, shoulder or back pain when they were younger than age 16, according to survey results released today from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the value of chiropractic care.

To view an infographic of the survey findings, click here.

To manage this pain, 200 surveyed Americans indicate that 44% embrace a combination of drug-free, natural pain management methods, such as chiropractic care, massage and stretching, as well as conventional methods such as visiting a medical doctor and/or taking medication.

The top reason Generation Z pursues non-conventional pain management methods is effectiveness. Nearly 31% of survey respondents stated the efficacy of drug-free, natural pain management methods was a more important deciding factor than cost (24%) and convenience (20%). That is also likely part of the reason why more than 63% of survey respondents reported being «somewhat» or «very» interested in chiropractic care while 17% have already received such care.

«We are very encouraged by the results of our survey, which explores an only marginally studied topic among this younger generation,» said Sherry McAllister, DC, executive vice president of the F4CP. «Younger Americans seem to be recognizing that pharmacological pain management methods alone deliver only short-term relief without addressing the underlying causes of chronic neuro-musculoskeletal pain that can often start at an early age. Hopefully, the awareness of the effective, long-term pain relief and mobility benefits of chiropractic and other types of non-pharmacological care will continue throughout their life to relieve pain, but also to prevent it and its associated causes.»

Pain experience starts young
When asked about their neck, shoulder and back pain, 18% of survey participants reported they first felt pain before the age of ten; 36% between the ages of 11 and 15 and 37% first felt discomfort between the ages of 16 and 20.

School sports and other frequent physical activity poses an added risk of injury or damage to joints, ligaments and tendons leading to pain. While parents or other clinicians may attribute pain at this young age to «growth spurts» or «growing pain,» it is best to err on the side of caution and get helpful advice to ensure patient health.

Generation Z’s early pain onset demonstrates the importance of engaging in a careful consultation with a qualified clinician, like a doctor of chiropractic (DC), who specializes in neuro-musculoskeletal pain to carefully determine the root cause and develop an evidence-based plan to alleviate the pain and protect the affected area.

«For most younger patients, pain relief and recovery can be accomplished through safe, drug-free care methods where they can then continue to participate in sports and other activities and improve their performance,» Dr. McAllister explained. «This is another reason why so many professional sports teams and the U.S. Olympic athletes have a doctor of chiropractic on their training staff.»

Other noteworthy results from the survey include:

  • Poor sleep posture caused pain. While technology has been identified as a contributor to neuro-musculoskeletal conditions such as «tech neck», nearly three-quarters (73%) of Generation Z survey respondents reported their chronic pain was caused by their sleep position, followed by sports or exercise (45%) and carrying a heavy bag (39%).
  • Pain is medium and mostly not improving. More than half (54%) of respondents classified their risk for persistent pain as «medium.» Meanwhile, only 36% of survey respondents said their chronic pain is improving while the remainder reported it is getting worse (36%) or staying the same (28%).
  • Chiropractic care should be covered. Generation Z not only embraces chiropractic care, but they believe health insurers should pay for it, too. Nearly 64% stated they believe chiropractic care should be covered by insurers, followed by physical therapy (61%); and massage, cupping, reiki and reflexology (50%).

«While chronic pain is mostly associated with older adults, the results of this survey indicate that as an industry, healthcare providers need to recognize and address the early signs of muscle and joint dysfunction much sooner in younger patients,» Dr. McAllister concluded. «With a safe, effective and drug-free care plan in place, providers can help establish the habits and behaviors that guide younger patients toward a lifelong path of optimal health and well-being.»

Survey details
Respondents to the random, online survey of 200 U.S. consumers conducted in late June 2020 were 58% female and 42% male. Respondents ranged in age from 18-24.

Iowa’s Community Colleges Improve How Employers Can Post Jobs And Reach Their Students And Alumni, For Free!

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Iowa employers seeking job-ready talent now have a FREE resource to post jobs: the Iowa Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website, powered by College Central Network, Inc. (CCN).

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Iowa employers seeking job-ready talent now have a FREE resource to post jobs: the Iowa Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website, powered by College Central Network, Inc. (CCN).

The (https://CollegeCentral.com/iaccjobs) website makes it both FREE and easy for all employers—large and small, public and private—to register just once and then post an unlimited number of jobs to Iowa’s community college students and alumni! This is an extraordinarily useful resource for employers hiring in today’s climate, even with temporarily closed or restricted campuses, and students having to return home.

Employers posting jobs today can simultaneously reach tens of thousands of job seekers from Des Moines Area Community College, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, Hawkeye Community College, and Iowa Valley Community College District.

Joy Miller, CCN’s Career Services Central® National Sales Manager explains, «As we enter the fall semester, employers still need to target timely job postings in response to COVID-19.»

In addition, organizations are looking to hire college students and alumni willing and able to jump in to meet their state’s, regions’, or cities’ specific hiring environment. The timing now is ideal, with Iowa’s community colleges well positioned to help their State’s economy rebound fast, and to quickly fill the State’s hiring needs in an era of rapid economic and technological change.

«Many employers post jobs at the closest community colleges,» Miller added. «But, with the Consortium, there is a synergy. Employers can easily extend their reach without additional effort. Posting just once, they can go statewide or target a specific combination of regional Iowa community colleges.»

CCN’s Career Services Central® is the exclusive online career office management platform for career centers at all schools participating in the Consortium. Joy Miller sums it up: «Community colleges can have a great impact on the State’s economy. The Iowa Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website allows employers to easily recruit the state’s home-grown entry-level talent by removing as many barriers as possible, simplifying the hiring process. This is especially critical given the added current complications of closed campuses and remote learning.»

With more than 23,000 undergraduates*, Des Moines Area Community College is the State’s largest community college. According to Sara Clayton, Career Center Coordinator at the college, «Graduates of Iowa community colleges overwhelmingly pursue employment in state, making up a large proportion of Iowa’s workforce and contributing directly to the state’s economic growth. This new jobs Consortium will allow our employer partners to tap into the talented pool of Iowa community college graduates in an easy, efficient way.»

Rob Schadt, Academic Advisor & Career Services Coordinator at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges stated: «Recruiters like the ease of posting just once to access the talent at all Iowa Consortium members’ community colleges. Our graduates have the skills, and they are eager to move directly into the local workforce now.»

Schadt added: «Our colleges train our State’s students to mesh with Iowa’s needs, and our graduates are who today’s employers are looking to hire. Employers who post to the Consortium are specifically looking to hire students and alumni who want to work in Iowa. It should be noted that our community college graduates almost exclusively accept job offers in the state, and that makes this a workforce win-win.»

Rachel Evans, Career Services Center Coordinator at Hawkeye Community College emphasized, «Signing up just once provides an employer with unlimited posting opportunities statewide! The Consortium is able to offer a fast, user-friendly, and streamlined resource to access talent with a single registration.»

Evans added, «There is a broad range of talent that graduates from the Consortium’s colleges bring to the workforce, including automotive technology, business, child development, computer information systems, healthcare, manufacturing, education, construction, and much more.»

MaryAnne Zanella Nickle, M.ED., Dean at Iowa Valley Community College District, pointed out, «Job postings are free of charge to all Iowa employers. This is a useful and free resource that can connect you with qualified students and alumni across the state. Iowa’s emerging two-year graduates, funded by Iowans to specifically meet the needs of the state’s workforce, finally have a much-needed path for our state’s employers to hire and retain local community college talent!»

Nickle added: «Our Consortium’s combined undergraduate reach in Iowa is huge and will continue to expand as additional colleges join in. The Consortium will deliver our State’s employers a diverse mix of qualified students and alumni who are highly skilled and motivated to jump right into our workforce!»

Statistics show that approximately 47,909 students attend Iowa community colleges.*
