Under development by the Federal Reserve, FedNow is a U.S. instant payment service designed to provide a fast, safe and efficient way for individuals and businesses to conduct real-time financial transactions.

A British couple living in Bangkok is raising £70,000 (2.85 million baht) to support the care of their five-month-old baby boy Finley who was born with an extremely rare illness. Finley Phillips was born with a rare chromosomal disorder that affects just 10 people worldwide. In the womb, Finley developed a duplication of chromosome 14 which has resulted in craniosynostosis (early skull fusion), two holes in his heart, severe hearing loss, club feet and hands, and an inability to gain weight. The diagnosis means Finley will have an ongoing lifelong disorder, but “no one can predict exactly what the future holds,” said Finley’s mother. Yesterday, medical staff in Bangkok gave Nick and Abby Phillips, from England, the greenlight to transfer baby Finley to a hospital in the UK for specialist treatment.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Apple just blamed its weakest quarter in years on forces outside its control. But something else could be behind Apple’s 5% drop in sales for the most recent quarter. Apple is violating one of the most basic requirements for growth: customers will switch to the product that offers them the most value. Based on listening to my undergraduate students this week, many are feeling like fools for being locked in — via the iPhone — to Apple’s “ecosystem.” They would rather own a product that costs less and works better. Apple’s business is dependent on essentially jailing its customers within its ecosystem. The iPhone is a 15 year old product — that accounted for 56% of Apple’s revenues in the latest quarter. It competes in a declining smartphone industry — shipments were down 18% in the latest quarter, according to the Wall Street Journal . Apple’s growth problem is not really due to macroeconomics or supply chain … [Read more...] about With Revenue Down 5.5%, Tim Cook Presides Over Shrinking Apple

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Stephen Sokoler, Founder & CEO of Journey . With the pandemic bringing about one of the biggest workplace transformations ever—including remote work, greater employee expectations and a passionate and polarizing social and political climate—understanding the evolving needs of today’s workforce is essential. In a climate of quiet quitting, burnout and turnover, the knee-jerk reaction is to hone in on the part of the workforce fringing on disaster. However, even with benefits like employee assistance programs (EAPs), therapy and medical plans in place, HR departments may still be scrambling to find ways to appease their troubled employees and retain the quality staff they have. It turns out that mental health challenges could be driving much of the concern. Spending on disease-related medical services increased the most for mental health services out of all evaluated services between 2016 and 2019, … [Read more...] about Three Proactive Measures Employers Can Take To Prioritize Employees’ Mental Health

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin CEO at Embed . Passionate for business, tech development & women empowerment. Mental health is now prevalently on the radar for most organizations—and this was not the case some years ago. The American Psychological Association’s 2022 survey found that 71% of workers believe that employers are now more concerned about their mental health than in the past. I often wonder if this is one of the silver linings of Covid, in addition to having the opportunity to work from home, which also raised new issues relating to mental health and the balance between work and home. According to a brief by the World Health Organization, anxiety and depression’s global prevalence increased by 25% in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The lines were always blurred for us in senior roles in organizations, where gaining that ideal balance between work and home life is a race most are not winning.

Is there more to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report than meets the eye? Consider: In a Christmas news dump that Americans mostly missed, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia revised down the BLS’s estimated job growth for the second quarter of 2022 by more than one million. The BLS calculated that 1,121,500 jobs were created over this period, while the Philly Fed found that the economy added just 10,500 jobs. Reuters called this massive labor market discrepancy “a conundrum.” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) accused the BLS of cooking the books to boost Biden. (RELATED: BETSY MCCAUGHEY: Spendaholic Politicians Are Taking A Sledgehammer To Your Economic Future) I’m reminded of these divergent analyses with today’s blockbuster BLS jobs report concluding 517,000 jobs were created in January, drubbing the 188,000 expectation.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What Women Need to Know About SECURE Act 2.0 On December 23, 2022, while most of the country was out of the office enjoying a nice holiday break, Congress passed an update to the retirement bill known as the SECURE Act, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (now referred to as SECURE Act 2.0). While the original SECURE Act, passed nearly three years prior in December 2019, had a net negative impact by eliminating the “stretch IRA” (the ability for a non-spouse beneficiary of a qualified retirement account to take distributions over their lifetime), SECURE Act 2.0 had an overall net positive impact, making numerous small changes to retirement plan savings rules in an effort to encourage Americans to save more for their retirement. In total, there are over 90 provisions in SECURE Act 2.0. Below, I highlight a few revisions that are particularly meaningful for women.
