Analysis from Gartner found that employee annual voluntary turnover is likely to increase by 20%, starting in 2022 and continuing in the years to come. Employee retention is a top priority for many employers—but what can you do specifically to hire and keep valuable employees?

In an interaction with Shweta Punj of Moneycontrol, the finance secretary shared the thoughts  that went into drawing up the document, and nuancing between the known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Edited excerpts: Q: The economy has faced several global headwinds yet managed to stay steady. What were your priorities as you were drafting this budget? What were the three key things that you wanted to ensure? There were three key priorities. One, to act as a driver of growth at a time when global growth is slowing down, but when India is poised to recover its growth rate to its potential. That was one of the objectives, which you see reflected in a big increase in capital investment and in several other parts of the budget, which are essentially to propel growth.

The Microsoft cofounder talked to Forbes about his work with AI unicorn OpenAI and back on Microsoft’s campus, AI’s potential impact on jobs and in medicine, and much more. I n 2020, Bill Gates left the board of directors of Microsoft, the tech giant he cofounded in 1975. But he still spends about 10% of his time at its Redmond, Washington headquarters, meeting with product teams, he says. A big topic of discussion for those sessions: artificial intelligence, and the ways AI can change how we work — and how we use Microsoft software products to do it. In the summer of 2022, Gates met with OpenAI cofounder and president Greg Brockman to review some of the generative AI products coming out of the startup unicorn, which recently announced a “multiyear, multibillion” dollar deepened partnership with Microsoft.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There is no doubt that over its 36-year life that the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has housed many people. But how many? As my last post showed, there are many known unknowns about how and how well the LIHTC has functioned over those years. For example, a common number offered as an answer to the question, “how many units has LIHTC created over its 36 years?” the answer is often something like 29 million. Where does that figure come from? Column V in the LIHTC “database,” a column in the Excel spreadsheet that has 3,000 blanks and 1,500 cells with “0” as the answer. It is a challenge to reform a federal expenditure when no deep evaluation is possible for lack of good data. However, I’d like to close the LIHTC portion of the look back at Paul Ryan’s critique with some ideas for reform. I’ve concluded that the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program isn’t really a program at all. It is behemoth , a complex of … [Read more...] about Series: Unwind The LIHTC, Create Tax Benefits For Builders And Families

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s not surprising that compliance with worker classification laws is a bigger deal in the freelance revolution. Why? Well, three factors drive this development. First, the globalization of work, and the impact of new work and collaboration technologies that make it possible to work from anywhere. As readers may know, 51 countries now have active and ongoing programs inviting “digital nomads” to sojourn in their country. The second driver: countries need tax dollars, and proper classification is essential to tax collection. For example, Argentina annually exports almost 5 billion dollars in tech expertise through the work of over 200,000 freelancers living in Argentina but “gigging” for US companies. Third, advances in technology are beginning to make available new solutions offering indemnification quickly and more cost effectively, and gives companies more visibility over their freelancers and a better experience for … [Read more...] about As More Freelancers Work Across Borders, Expect More Emphasis On Worker Classification And Tax Collection
