  • Essential Tools for Employee Engagement and Communication: A solution is fulfilled by AgilityPortal that unifies remote teams

    Digitalizing workplaces and bridging the gaps amongst the teams within an organization, AgilityPortal provides team-collaboration solutions for startups, SMEs and LEs. Intranet software is booming in this age of communication and connectivity. Every good workplace needs to have an intranet solution for the employees so that they can get their work done quickly and efficiently, whether they are in the office or working from home.

    London, United Kingdom, 28 January 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, Removing silos and disconnects among remote teams, Agility Online Ltd aims to provide the ultimate productivity and task management solution. The intranet software, AgilityPortal is an ideal tool that makes sure that no matter where the team members are, they remain connected to each other and don’t miss out any concerns. With its quick and easy to use interface, AgilityPortal proves to be the perfect intranet software for small businesses and can even be used within a large organization. This internet software employee’s engagement tool is designed to provide a seamless collaboration across all locations.

    The current outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic is forcing people to work from their homes on a global scale. The world has never seen the importance of intranet solutions as much as it has in these past few months. The companies are looking for better and efficient ways to help their employees overcome the communication barrier.

    Conventional means of communication at such times are no longer effective. Jessica says “Having a company intranet is not a luxury anymore, it has become a necessity. With employees working from homes, companies need a better way to keep them engaged and productive.” When all the important information is available to the employees at a single place, they will be able to get things done much quicker.

    A study by Gallup shows that the employees who are engaged are 17% more productive than the employees who are left unengaged. Another report conducted by Salesforce states that those employees who feel like their voices are being heard and they are kept in the loop by their managers feel 5 times more empowered.

    A single turnkey platform that connects everyone within an organization, AgilityPortal also improves various internal tasks that may conventionally consume up a lot of precious time. AgilityPortal is designed to motivate and encourage the employees while involving them in company activities. Additionally, when the final product is completed and ready to be delivered to the client, AgilityPortal makes sure that the product is exactly according to the needs of the client.

    One grave issue with other intranet software is that they can be hard to install and maintain, whereas AgilityPortal is constructed to be easily deployed, administered and monitored. Being used by over a thousand companies, AgilityPortal is a feature-packed solution, designed to be effective and efficient. No more communication delays and waiting on important updates, AgilityPortal is the best intranet solution for small and large organizations.

  • Local real estate broker feels the Bern

    United States, 27 January 2021, ZEXPRWIRE: Bernie Sanders has had a busy week, at least virtually.

    If you’ve been on any form of social media this past week it’s been hard to miss the meme of a mitten-wearing Bernie Sanders sitting cross-armed at last week’s presidential inauguration ceremony.

    People have used Photoshop to place Sanders everywhere from Sheldon’s “spot” on the couch in a still from the TV show “Big Bang Theory” to sitting in front of their own home. Now, it looks the Bernie meme has even gotten into commercial real estate sales.

    Tejas Gosai, broker at EXP Realty in Easton, said he got caught up in the craze and placed the image of the mittened Bernie on two of his listings.

    “Typically with commercial real estate it’s very bland and numbers oriented,” Gosai said.

    He said when you’re dealing with properties that are over a million dollars, joking around is usually out of the question. But, he had two rather high profile properties, a $1.6 million Nazareth apartment property and a Centre Square Easton property for $2.6 million, which he thought could use a little Bernie.

    “I called my clients and I asked if it was alright and they both said yes. They thought it was hysterical,” Gosai said. He put up the listings with Bernie Sanders’ image up on his company’s website, on the national real estate website crexi.com and reposted them up on social media, hoping to give his clients and fellow real estate agents a bit of a giggle. He didn’t realize Bernie would be such a good salesman.

    The listings went viral, being reposted across social media around the country. Crexi.com even reposted it on its Facebook page and another real estate agent made a parody video out of the Bernie listings.

    Within a few days they had received thousands of views and even some offers.

    “We already got some cash offers on both properties because so many people saw it,” Gosai said.

    He said that while they were both good listings that he expected to sell quickly, having offers in within 36 hours of posting was a surprise.

    “Even with a good listing it still takes time,” he said.

    The success of the stunt also has Gosai breathing a sigh of relief. He knew it was risky to insert humor into a real estate ad and he wasn’t sure how it would be received. He’s glad others in the industry shared his sense of humor.

    He did note that while offers have been received, his clients have not accepted any of the offers yet and showings are still planned for this weekend.

    But the big question remains. If Bernie Sanders was such a big help in getting the properties sold, does he get a cut of the commission? Laughing, Gosai said he hasn’t forgotten that it was Sanders that helped get him all the attention, and yes, he has already made a small contribution to the mitten-themed fundraiser Sanders set up to raise money from the popular meme.

    When the photo went viral Sanders created and sold sweatshirts with his mitten meme photo on them with proceeds going to Vermont-based charities. Those sold out quickly. So, if the whole Senator thing doesn’t work out for Sanders, perhaps a gig in sales might be in his future.

  • Boss Ruff & “Born Rich” Rapper Pablo Skywalkin May Have A Collab On The Way

    California, USA, January 27, 2021,  ZEXPRWIRE, Fresh off of his musical hiatus due to legal situations, Boss Ruff posted on Instagram in studio listening to some of his new music that he’s working on. During the Instagram post, the Michigan rapper seemed to have revealed that he and another Detroit artist Pablo Skywalkin have a joint record on the way.

    The post of the artist tagged the “Flex On Em” & “Mansion Party” creator Pablo Skywalkin who himself has started back making music and releasing a slew of new song’s, releasing recent albums “Auggh”& “Jungle Book”. As Pablo Skywalkin posted the Instagram Story to his own personal Instagram account it’s safe to say that this collab could happen sooner then we think.

    Boss Ruff hasn’t divulge any information about the song or when it could be dropping. The Motorola rapper has been making effort to post on social media him in the studio, but its not clear as to what his next project will be titled or even released.

    We’ll keep you updated on the progress of the track, should it ever come to fruition.

  • Female-founded subscription box honors Southeast Asian communities through food

    San Diego, CA, January 27, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE:  TUK TUK BOX is a new business creatively changing the way people connect with their culture and community through their launch of Southeast Asian subscription boxes.

    Last week marked one year since the first reported COVID-19 case in the United States. It is known the pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color, widening both the gaps of the social determinants of health and economics. Moreover, the deeper implications of anti-Asian sentiment has created detrimental impacts to many of the cultural foundations for Asian Americans; such as once flourishing Chinatowns and significant community hubs. In a time where state-wide lockdowns were mandated, the fear of safety within Asian households is heightened because of disingenuous claims being made.

    As the daughters of refugees and descendents from Southeast Asia, Christy Innouvong-Thornton and Beatriz Aurelio-Saguin experienced this targeted misinformation themselves and recognized the need for better representation. Together, they founded Tuk Tuk Box, a subscription box platform to adjust the narrative surrounding Asian communities through food and storytelling.

    Beatriz emphasizes, “Too often Southeast Asians (Lao, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Malaysian, and many more) are not represented and are left out of the conversation. We had to ask ourselves, how we could bridge the gap in a respectful and accessible way. Food plays such an important role in our cultures, it was only natural to foster conversations around the table.”

    Each month, Tuk Tuk Box curates a new collection of products and stories that share immigrant, migrant, and refugee experiences with an aim to bring visibility to Southeast Asian communities and celebrate their heritage. Partnering with local Asian-American businesses is just one way Christy and Beatriz have been able to strengthen their ties with the community: 

    “We approached our families, elders in the community, artists, and even non-profit leaders. We didn’t just say, Hey, we’re going to create this brand, but asked them to play a part in it. We knew that everyone had a role in building the  business from the ground up. From our logo designer, to photographer, to web developer. Each person hired was from the Southeast Asian or greater BIPOC community. We are intentional not only about uplifting, but paying each contractor a fair wage.” says Christy Innouvong-Thornton

    Some collaborators include prominent Southeast Asian American chefs nationwide, including Chef Nora Horan, YouTube celebrity Jen Phanomrat, and Chef Tu David Phu from Top Chef Season 15. Creating economic opportunities for business owners and chefs in the diaspora is one of two major features of the business. They also support non-profit organizations at the local and global level each month as a way to financially give back to the community. Both founders see their business as more than a fun treat:

    “Our goal is to give people in the Asian community a chance to reconnect with their favorite snacks and food from childhood, while being an entrypoint for people who may not know much about the diversity in Southeast Asian cuisine. Snacks are a friendly way to engage with one another. Each of our boxes represent a unique assortment so  people can try a variety of flavor combinations while also making an impact.” says Innouvong-Thornton.

    While social distancing and Zoom meetings might not end anytime soon, there still are creative ways to connect in a meaningful way. Tuk Tuk Box is building bridges economically, culturally, and socially through snacking and storytelling.

    To Contact, Email: [email protected] 

    The company: Tuk Tuk Box is a Southeast Asian, women-founded company. Their mission is to share Southeast Asian culture and experiences through food, bringing ancestral stories from their kitchen to yours. They offer curated subscription boxes and products, partnering with vetted small business owners and local farmers from Southeast Asian communities.
