Trillion Fed stimulus expected. We're looking to get insights on
the following subjects:

industry show the same reluctance it has in the past.

Satoshi Labs etc.

how is this similar or different to the implications of that
change?

sent the price of BTC and even Ether to soaring highs and
growing. Will this price rally continue? Are any more factors
causing this?

Deadline: 7:00 AM EST - 29 July
Query:
In the sudden shift to a remote-first work environment for many
in the face of COVID-19, new challenges are surfacing every day.
One of them, especially for those in HR, is remote onboarding
and preboarding.
I'm looking for companies who have gone that route and have done
it successfully - or even failed at it but want to share their
challenges and what they'd do differently next time.
Thoughtful responses by email would be ideal. A few questions to
kick things off:
1) What's the background/sector/location etc. of your company?
What was your experience moving to a remote-first environment
during COVID-19?
2) Will you stay remote going forward? Why or why not?
3) One of the biggest challenges in the remote hiring process
cited by many companies is that of remote onboarding. What has
your own experience been like there? What were your challenges
and successes there?
4) Technology, obviously, is a major tool for successful remote
hiring/onboarding. What has your own experience there been like?
Any challenges with buy-in, user adoption, learning curves?
5) If tech adoption was quick and easy, what were the challenges
then?
6) What other challenges were there and how did you overcome
them? Points for creativity AND applicability!
7) Finally, what did you learn from remote onboarding that you
would share with others over a coffee? What would you do
differently if you could do it over again?
8) Any other thoughts or insights?
Thank you so much. The best responses will be included in an
upcoming article to be published in the Stories & Insights
section of our website
(http://resources.workable.com/stories-and-insights/).
Requirements:
These are not dealmakers or dealbreakers, but I'd love to hear
from those who fit the following parameters:
1) You've shifted to remote as a result of COVID (i.e. companies
that weren't really remote before)
2) If you were fully remote before, you have a successful remote
onboarding program that you'd like to share and that can be
helpful for those really struggling with it now.
3) You are in the HR space or you're involved in it in some way
- i.e. you're directly involved, and not just a thought leader
or expert. I'm looking for direct experiences here.

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 29 July
Query:
I'm working on a story about the trend to offer more amenities
for cyclists in residential buildings, including apartments,
condos, and co-ops. Potential amenities could be indoor bike
storage, a bike shop or repair station within the building, or a
bike rental program. If any developers are partnering with bike
shops or cycling organizations to improve infrastructure or
offer riding classes or group rides to residents, I'd also be
interested in hearing that.
I'd like to hear from developers and building managers that are
responding to an existing or anticipated increased demand in
cycling in general or as a direct result of COVID-19.
Requirements:
I am NOT looking for any housing amenities that are not directly
cycling-related. Please do not send "cycling adjacent" amenities
like hot tubs and saunas, I'm only looking for actual bike
infrastructure like indoor bike racks, storage, and repair.
