Goodway Group Becomes Two Time Winner for Ad Age Best Places to Work

Goodway Group

Goodway Group, the digital partner advertisers trust to deliver campaign performance and media efficiency, has been awarded Ad Age’s Best Places to Work. This marks the second consecutive year that the agency’s commitment to enhancing the workplace experience and supporting employee wellbeing has earned a place on the esteemed list. Ad Age recognized Goodway Group for its unique remote workforce model – having supported a fully remote team for nearly 14 years – and history of putting its employees first. The last year has been one of monumental change and business acceleration for Goodway Group. Covid-19 has continued to impact the agency’s families, approach to doing business, and staffing levels, in addition to increasing stress and the potential for burnout among employees. As such, the digital agency pivoted, shifting its focus to building upon the post-pandemic realities of marketing and simultaneously launching new initiatives to help employees cope with their own evolving realities. Goodway is special because there's a level of true awareness and concern for our employees, a commitment to improvement, and transparency from leadership that is atypical of private organizations. From implementing Summer Fridays to offering bonuses for those taking a minimum of 15 days of MyTime, our unlimited PTO program, Goodway is always seeking ways to afford better work/life integration. This includes implementing GoodTalks, a program and open dialogue on how we can better communicate across our different positions, ethnicities, genders and viewpoints at a time where that is so needed in the world is unique. Additionally, the digital agency is building teams with diverse skillsets to distribute workloads better. To further meet various needs across teams, Goodway Group has modified its biannual all-company trip to include in-person and virtual attendance options. “At Goodway Group we are committed to creating a supportive workplace that fosters growth, connection, and balance. It is an honor to be recognized by Ad Age for our continued investment in people and culture, validating our principles for the future of work, ” said Kandi Gongora, Chief Transformation & People Officer of Goodway Group. “As a fully-remote company for over a decade, we are passionate about continuing to pave the way for others to evolve the employee experience at a time when the way we work is constantly changing.” Goodway ranked 11th among top companies with more than 200 employees, based on an analysis of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from employees. Ad Age’s scoring system factors in the importance of six key satisfaction areas: company culture, company environment, employee benefits, employee development, employee engagement, and employee perks. In addition to being a two-time recipient of Ad Age’s Best Places to Work Award, Goodway Group has also been recognized by Digiday’s Work-Life Awards. The agency has implemented a number of new initiatives to further improve the employee experience and fight burnout, in recent years, including dedicated development days, expanding Goodway Cares – which offers pro-bono strategy and consulting to nonprofit organizations, The Goods, a bi-weekly newsletter featuring employee stories, and more. Moving forward, Goodway Group will continue to emphasize professional and personal wellbeing through clubs, activities and resources, including an internal book club, yearly wellness stipend, and per annum development budget. The agency is also creating an internal role dedicated to team health through facilitation and playbook creation. See this year’s list of Best Places to Work here.

Global Accessibility Leader Fable Joins InclusionHub as Founding Partner

InclusionHub

InclusionHub, the leading accessibility and inclusive design resource hub committed to improving digital inclusion, is humbled to announce the addition of Fable Tech Labs Inc. (“Fable”) as a founding partner. Founded in 2018 in Toronto, Fable helps organizations build inclusive products by transforming their approach to accessibility testing, research, and training. Fable is the trusted partner of many major organizations to improve their accessibility, including Walmart, Slack, and Shopify. Fable Engage enables companies to connect to people with disabilities remotely and on-demand to accelerate user research, design, and development. Fable Upskill provides custom accessibility training to organizations through videos that are based on their tools and products and the roles on their team. Fable’s accessibility testing community consists of people with disabilities who use assistive technology. Fable’s testers are compensated with competitive, tech-industry wages. Emphasizing the need to “shift left” for inclusive product design is central to Fable’s mission to improve accessibility at scale. When this does not occur, accessibility issues tend to be discovered late in the development process or after release to the consumer market, and retroactive fixes are made in haste. Proactive, inclusive design benefits not only people with disabilities, but elevates user experience for all. “Every organization should be building inclusive products,” says Alwar Pillai, Fable’s Co-Founder and CEO. “We’re excited to be a founding partner of InclusionHub, which will further enable organizations to find the accessibility and inclusion resources that they need.” The addition of Fable caps a tremendous year for InclusionHub, which announced a founding partnership with the industry-leading customer relationship manager platform Salesforce in August. That brings the number of founding partners involved with InclusionHub to four—including Be My Eyes, an app that connects blind and low-vision users with sighted volunteers, and Morey Creative Studios, a digital marketing agency that launched InclusionHub in 2020. InclusionHub features crowd-sourced ratings and reviews from a global audience of digital accessibility experts and practitioners, and provides an unbiased, transparent and searchable database of companies that specialize in all aspects of digital inclusion. “We couldn’t be more excited about Fable officially coming on as an InclusionHub founding partner. In addition to being mission-aligned, Fable is a partner that has so much value to bring to our ecosystem,” says Jon Sasala, President of Morey Creative Studios. “The services they provide with assistive tech user testing and accessibility training are crucial for businesses trying to be more inclusive—the exact audience InclusionHub aims to help. This partnership will be so beneficial for everyone involved, especially our community members.” To learn more about our Founding Partners and efforts to improve web accessibility, visit InclusionHub.com.

Jason Carris Buys Independent Print Shop and Converts Business to Minuteman Press Franchise in Red Bank, NJ

Minuteman Press International Inc

Jason Carris is the new owner of Minuteman Press in Red Bank, NJ, which is part of the Middletown Township. Utilizing the Minuteman Press Franchise Conversion Program, Jason purchased independent print shop All American Print & Copy Center, which was in business for 40 years, and took over the location in September 2021. Jason says, “ The biggest advantage of buying this business was having an established clientele. We did our research and made sure the owners were respected by their clients. There was also 40 years of history and track record as well.” What is it like for Jason to be a new local business owner in Red Bank? He says, “Once you make that leap, it’s a very exciting experience to own your own business. We have a vibrant community here and I see the long-term growth potential. I am looking forward to making Minuteman Press a real pillar and trusted business partner in Red Bank / Middletown Township.” Jason further explains, “I think we have a tremendous opportunity to expand our wide format printing business with banners, posters, and signage remaining in high demand for our clients. I am also looking forward to bolstering our in-house mailing and direct mail services to help other local businesses reach their target audiences.” Prior to franchising, Jason worked in medical publishing and digital marketing. He also ran a number of small consulting businesses in his career. He says, “A combination of things – including the pandemic and economic forces – made me decide to go fully into business ownership. My wife Renee has an entrepreneurial spirt as well.” He adds, “ Minuteman Press International and our Regional Vice President Jim Galasso guided us through the purchase of the business step by step. Jim made the process easier to manage and I couldn’t have done this on my own without the help from the team at Minuteman Press.” Why Minuteman Press? Jason answers, “We did a lot of research and Minuteman Press jumped out to us on a number of levels. They were on a lot of top franchise lists, they appealed to people who hadn’t owned a business, and the business seemed easy to learn. In addition to being a highly respected franchise, Minuteman Press had a reasonable cost of entry and I appreciate their cap on royalties.” He continues, “The support has been wonderful. Because there is a 40-year history of the independent print shop we purchased, we have been transitioning the business. It’s great to have the training and support especially since I had not run a business of this scope before.” When asked about the keys to making that leap and becoming a business owner, Jason shares, “I think the two biggest keys to owning a business are to really make sure you feel 100% comfortable with the business model, and to believe in your products and services. Also, it is important to be proactive but also have patience after buying the business. Think about growth potential, and understand there is a learning curve. That’s normal for everyone.” Minuteman Press in Red Bank is located at 518 Route 35, Red Bank, NJ 07701. For more information, call 732-758-6200 or visit their website: https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nj/red-bank.

January is financial wellness month, and with increased spending during the holiday season and inflation driving up costs, now is the perfect time to learn more about personal finances and how to manage debt.

Kicking off the platform this Financial Wellness Month, the debt relief brand has reimagined their mission and company commitment to taking a human-first approach to personal finances and debt relief.

NEW WAYS IN THE NEW YEAR

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/kgg6YB2vYLU New research finds close to 70% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions before February 1 st. That’s why it’s important to approach 2022 with realistic and achievable goals. Whether focusing on diet and exercise or overall well-being, there are ways to move forward without feeling overwhelmed. The American Psychological Association recommends starting small and changing one behavior at a time. Registered Dietician Nutritionist, Mia Syn has come up with a four-step plan to incorporate new ways into new year routines. MORE MOVEMENT: Each year, millions of Americans decide to start off the year with new exercise routines. Syn says this is a good idea. However, she prefers to keep it easy and more realistic, saying, “One of my top tips is to include more movement into your everyday lives.” According to the CDC, it’s recommended that people get 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. Syn points out that “movement” can mean something different for everyone, adding, “It’s all about a balanced routine. It could be a quick walk around the block or going up and down the stairs a few times at home.” She says household chores, like gardening and mowing the lawn even counts as moderate activity. If someone is further along on their fitness journey, it can include running, weight training, and biking. Syn recommends talking with a health care professional about setting up any new routine that affects one’s overall health and wellness. SUPPORT SLEEP: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that many people continue to report sleep problems since the start of the pandemic. Syn’s second step includes a few ideas to support sleep throughout the year, starting with sticking to a consistent sleep schedule. This includes going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, including weekends. Next, create a room that’s ideal for sleeping — cool, dark, and quiet. Finally, really try to get seven hours of sleep each night. Syn says it’s important to note that sleep has a tremendous impact on a person’s mental and physical health, adding, “That’s why I recommend Natrol Sleep+.” From the #1 drug-free sleep aid brand in America ^, Natrol Sleep+ is an innovative product line that blends melatonin and secondary ingredients with calming, beauty and immune health benefits, all designed to plus up your sleep. † The brand offers three different gummies, starting with Immune Health, which supports a healthy immune system and helps with revitalizing sleep. † The second option is Natrol Sleep+ Calm, that helps calm an active mind and body to ease someone to sleep. † The third type is Beauty.

Syn suggests starting with a charcuterie board filled with every color under the sun. One tip is to overflow it with all types of fruits and vegetables. Some olives, nuts, and crackers can be added for extra flavor. “My absolute favorite thing to include is dip,” says Syn, “Good Foods has a variety of plant-based dips to make heathy eating easy and delicious.” This wide selection of better-for-you dips, includes new Spicy Queso Blanco, and has something for everyone — including those living vegan, paleo and keto lifestyles — and are packed with flavor and contain no added sugar. Syn points out that each can be eaten solo or as a part of a favorite recipe. Consumers can find Good Foods’ dips and spreads in stores nationwide, including Target and Costco.

She suggests trying to audit how much time is spent on popular platforms, asking people to “really be aware of what kind of information is being consumed, and if it’s having a positive or negative affect on their lives.” According to the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, it has found that limiting one’s social media engagement to 30 minutes per day leads to better mental health and positively impacts a person’s overall well-being.
