COVID-19 Pandemic Disproportionately Hurting Working Women

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate economic impact on women in ways that could have long-lasting effects on the U.S. economy, according to a report by the Committee for Economic Development of…

The report – the latest in a series of Solutions Briefs – cites two critical factors that have magnified COVID-19’s impact on women. First, the lower-wage and service-oriented jobs which have been hardest-hit by the pandemic predominantly employ women. Those sectors include personal service, healthcare support, restaurant servers, food preparation, and administrative support. At the depth of the employment crisis, women’s employment – in absolute numbers – fell to its lowest point since the 1990s and has since only recovered two-thirds of that loss.

Second, women are far more likely than men to bear the brunt of disruptions to childcare and education. Even before the pandemic, mothers of children under age 18 reported spending nearly twice as much time on childcare and housework as fathers.

«This will likely be the first recession in half a century to feature a larger increase in unemployment rates among women than men,» said CED President Lori Esposito Murray. «When talented workers are forced to the sidelines the entire economy is hurt. Employers also miss out on important competitive resources. This catastrophe is a first-order national concern, and business leaders and policymakers must act quickly to respond to it.»

The report includes 11 steps business leaders and policymakers should take to mitigate the economic impact on women, including:

Both increase the availability and normalize the use of remote work and flexible hours. This must include evaluating the performance of workers who use these options on an equal footing with those who do not.
Help women candidates advance into leadership roles, through sponsorship, mentoring, and training for midcareer female workers. Business leaders should ensure that their companies are adopting existing best practices including prioritizing, disclosing, and rewarding efforts to reach gender parity.
Lawmakers should create a childcare stabilization fund to ensure widespread access to safe, high-quality childcare, which is essential to speed the economic recovery.
Extend temporary paid leave programs, which are scheduled to expire at year’s end, until COVID-19 is no longer disrupting normal care arrangements.

Dominion Energy Files Construction and Operations Plan for Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Dominion Energy announced today the company has filed with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) the required Construction and Operations Plan (COP) to build the 2,640-megawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project, the largest planned offshore wind farm in the United States.

…

«This is an important step in the process toward bringing commercial-scale offshore wind to the Commonwealth and shows Dominion Energy is committed to delivering the clean, renewable and reliable energy our customers expect from us,» said Joshua Bennett, Dominion Energy’s vice president of offshore wind. «We look forward to working with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management as the CVOW commercial project moves through the permitting process.»

The COP includes information about the construction, operations and conceptual decommissioning plans for Dominion Energy’s proposed offshore wind farm to be installed within a 112,800-acre Commercial Lease Area located 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, which Dominion Energy obtained in 2013. Information about onshore and support facilities is included in the COP as well.

Through this filing, Dominion Energy shows, among other things, it designed and sited the CVOW commercial project in a manner that protects natural resources, the environment and human and wildlife health; uses the best available and safest technology; and does not unreasonably interfere with other uses of the Outer Continental Shelf, such as commercial and recreational fishing, commercial shipping lanes and military training maneuvers.

Data based on the results of the many surveys of the lease area – geophysical, geotechnical, biological, cultural, socioeconomic – are also included in the filing for BOEM’s review, which will take approximately two years to complete.

Offshore wind generation is a major component of Dominion Energy’s comprehensive clean energy strategy to meet standards mandated in the Virginia Clean Economy Act and to achieve the company’s net zero carbon dioxide and methane emissions commitment by 2050.

The company earlier this year completed the construction of CVOW’s first phase – the two turbine, 12-megawatt pilot project, which is located adjacent to the Commercial Lease Area. The two turbines are operational while the project undergoes BOEM’s technical review before officially entering service.

The company applied the valuable permitting, design and installation experience from the CVOW pilot project to its proposed commercial project. Pending approval by the State Corporation Commission, the CVOW commercial project is on track to commence construction in 2024, and upon completion in 2026, will provide enough renewable electricity to power up to 660,000 homes.

According to an economic impact study performed by Glen Allen-based Mangum Economics and commissioned and published by the Hampton Roads Alliance, it is estimated that the CVOW commercial project could create approximately 900 jobs and $143 million in economic impact annually during construction and 1,100 jobs and almost $210 million in economic impact annually during operation of the turbines.

Similarly, during construction, the 2.6-gigawatt CVOW commercial project is estimated to generate nearly $5 million per year in local and state tax revenue which increases to almost $11 million annually once the project is commissioned and operational.

About Dominion Energy
More than 7 million customers in 16 states energize their homes and businesses with electricity or natural gas from Dominion Energy (NYSE: D), headquartered in Richmond, Va. The company is committed to sustainable, reliable, affordable and safe energy and to achieving net zero carbon dioxide and methane emissions from its power generation and gas infrastructure operations by 2050.

The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville Deploys INTELITY In-Room Tablets to Engage Guests and Enhance Their Experience

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — INTELITY®, the developer of hospitality’s most comprehensive guest experience and staff management platform, announced today its partnership with The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville. The sophisticated downtown Nashville hotel, newly opened in the heart of SoBro, has deployed key elements of the INTELITY platform, including 12-inch iPads in every guest room and INTELITY’s staff solution, GEMS®.

With the INTELITY in-room tablets now implemented at the property, guests can access any of the hotel’s amenities and services from tablets located directly at their bedside. Using the tablets, they’re able to explore more information about the hotel and local attractions, make reservations at Yolan–the hotel’s fine Italian restaurant–as well as at its popular rooftop lounge Denim, order in-room dining, request contactless service, book a spa service, and much more. In addition to the digital capabilities, the tablets are also an easy-to-clean and eco-friendly alternative to printed collateral.

The staff portion of the platform is also transforming guest engagement. The team can tailor and send messages to guests, run targeted marketing campaigns, and utilize the system for additional and meaningful guest touchpoints. Meanwhile, GEMS automates guest requests and orders on the backend, streamlining service to ensure satisfaction reaches the highest possible levels. At the same time, it delivers deep business insights to the management team, allowing them to make adjustments and enhance processes accordingly.

«We pride ourselves on carefully and intentionally crafting every part of the guest experience, and the INTELITY platform plays a critical role in how we are making guests feel welcome and comfortable while in their room,» noted Raj Radke, General Manager at The Joseph. «This range of contactless service offerings puts our commitment to safety on full display.»

Opened in August 2020, The Joseph is quickly gaining an impressive reputation nationwide for stunning design, thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites, world-class dining options, and its idyllic spa and salon. Located steps from Music City Center and the Nashville Symphony, the 21-story hotel unites cultural and artistic diversity, history, design, and Southern hospitality in a newly constructed building, adding to the city’s iconic skyline while revealing a sophisticated guest experience. Experiential moments present themselves at every turn within the 297-room hotel, where guests «live with art.» The Joseph features contemporary architecture and design and more than 1,100 works of art. The culinary program is led by Michelin-starred chef Tony Mantuano and wine expert Cathy Mantuano, who are respected worldwide for their distinctive brand of hospitality and culinary excellence. Rose, encompassing a 5,500-square-foot spa and salon, serves as the property’s epicenter of wellness.

«The Joseph is an excellent property primarily because it understands what today’s guests are looking for—not a one-size-fits-all experience, but one that’s both tailored to the city and personalized for the guests,» said Robert Stevenson, CEO of INTELITY. «The hotel celebrates Nashville in a unique way and is also now engaging guests by offering the digital convenience modern travelers seek.»
