Name: Lin Grensing-Pophal SHRM

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bb9i@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: SHRM

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 October

Query:

In 2020, open enrollment season, like just about everything in
the HR realm, is looking very different. Amid the pandemic where
some employees may be still working on site, some may be working
from home or other remote locations, some may be furloughed and
some may be fearing that their jobs will eventually be lost,
uncertainty, anxiety and tension are rampant.

With benefit costs increasing, benefits changing, or some
benefits being eliminated, employers are particularly challenged
this year to communicate with employees and, particularly, to
communicate with empathy. But empathy is very important in the
environment we now work in.

I'm interested in hearing from mental health professionals about
the need for empathy when communicating benefit
information--what does empathetic communication "look like," how
can HR professionals and managers develop their ability to
communicate with empathy?

I'm also interested in hearing from organizational leaders, HR
professionals and benefit administrators about ways in which
they have built in empathetic communication to their 2021
benefit enrollment activities. How are you communicating
differently this year than you have in the past? How are
employees responding? What questions/concerns are they raising
and how are you addressing them? What best practice advice would
you have for others on how to navigate this open enrollment
season empathetically?

presenters six feet apart in a way that doesn't look awkward?
How do these stages/sets differ than they would have for a fully
in-person audience?

40) Summary: Economist insight into COVID-19 job market

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bbxr@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Simple Dollar

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 5 October

Query:

Opportunity Insights has crafted an economic tracker to measure
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy. One of their
declarative findings is that the "Recession has Nearly Ended for
High-Wage Workers, but Job Losses Persist for Low-Wage Workers."
https://tracktherecovery.org/

At the same time, low-wage workers make up a large portion of
"essential workers."
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/06/04/examining-options-to-boost-essential-worker-wages-during-the-pandemic/

We're interested in digging in to how these two facts can
coexist.

Can you speak to why the "Recession has Nearly Ended for
High-Wage Workers, but Job Losses Persist for Low-Wage Workers"?
Why do high-wage workers have a better chance of keeping their
job? What about the economy sustains these roles more?

Why are low-wage job losses persisting despite the majority
being "essential workers"?



Are there some sectors of "essential workers" with more job
stability than others? Are there certain industries that are
more vulnerable to the low-wage job losses that the Opportunity
Insights data surfaces? For example, restaurant employees may be
considered essential, but are also low-wage workers facing job
loss due to business closures.

Should the government be doing anything for low-wage earners
during this time? (hazard pay, minimum wage increase, etc.) And
why/why not? How would those changes impact the economy?

Requirements:

Looking for economists or professors, with some experience
studying/working . Tight deadline, include answers in pitch,
we'll reach out if need more info. Thanks!!

Query:

The $12 million settlement in the Breonna Taylor case signals
that police reform, financial problems in the pandemic world for
local governments are likely to lead to higher taxes to cover
police misconduct. We are seeking thoughts/comments via email
ONLY on this. What do you believe will occur, particularly as
governments pay out such large sums, demonstrations are met by
rioters and looters who destroy property (not the fault of
peaceful protesters), and many officers, it seems, are unwilling
to stop putting taxpayers at risk of large civil payouts. Look
forward to well-thought out responses on this and we will
highlight you, your business, etc.

Media Outlet: Sustainable Brands

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 October

Query:

Two Las Vegas casinos recently announced plans to create
smoke-free spaces (one smoke-free casino resort property and one
public walkways + corridors). Does this set a precedent for
healthier environments in casinos and tourist spots, in general?

I'm looking for expert sources to answer the following questions:

> Do you think this move to create smoke-free spaces in Las
Vegas casino resorts will create a ripple effect within other
casino properties both within Las Vegas and beyond the city? Why
or why not?

> Is this move part of a larger wellness trend? Please expand on
your response?

> Beyond COVID-19 safety measures, what other health and
wellness trends do you anticipate seeing in the coming months or
year?

Requirements:

Wellness travel and travel trend experts only. Please provide
credentials when responding to this query.

I will follow up if I have additional questions.
