82% of Employees Would Quit Their Jobs Because of No Progression, CareerAddict Study Reveals
A new study conducted by CareerAddict.com, a leading online career resource, revealed that progression is considered more important than pay, with an astonishingly high number of survey participants (82.39%) saying that a lack of progression would influence their decision to leave their jobs. DUBLIN, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 1,000 career-driven individuals were surveyed at the end of 2019 in order to discover the hidden trends of employee turnover and help companies retain their top talent. Woman leaving her work Survey respondents were asked to rate different reasons that would affect their decision to quit based on a scale of importance. A lack of career advancement opportunities, followed by low pay and the absence of a salary raise, were the three main contributing factors to their decision to leave. Meanwhile, among those who had already quit their jobs, 35% also revealed they would consider returning if they were offered a better salary or a higher position. "We wanted to truly uncover what exactly pushed workers over the edge," said Christopher Thoma, Project Manager of CareerAddict. "Our findings were quite fascinating, showing that the modern workforce is more complex than ever, with job satisfaction and progression proving vitally important." While the majority of participants were Millennial and Gen Z workers, making up nearly 67% of the respondent pool, the survey found that there was a common sentiment across all participating age groups. Indeed, the opportunity for job progression was a priority to the overwhelming majority, regardless of age. The study not only revealed invaluable insights regarding employee turnover, but it also uncovered disconcerting realities that are prevalent in today's workplace: 53% of survey takers said they felt discriminated against by their superior, 61% of which were women. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 people said they felt discriminated against because of their gender, 76% of which were women. With merely 18% of participants saying they regret leaving their previous job, there is much to be said about high employee turnover rates. While most workers are driven by their professional aspirations, their development is not only halted by limited opportunities but also workplace discrimination. For many employers, then, the task of keeping their workforce positively engaged might prove to be a greater challenge. About CareerAddict CareerAddict is one of the world's leading online career resources, offering expert advice and industry knowledge to its ever-growing global audience of career-enthused individuals. Since launching in 2013, CareerAddict is focused on providing job seekers, students, workers and employers all over the world with all the necessary tools, information and resources they need to achieve all their professional aspirations.

Bill McKibben joins the Keeling Curve Prize organization's board
The Global Warming Mitigation Project runs the annual competition that awards $250,000 to promising global warming solutions Application deadline for this year's competition is February 10 ASPEN, Colorado, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the world's most influential environmentalists, Bill McKibben, has joined the board of the Global Warming Mitigation Project, which runs the annual Keeling Curve Prize competition. The prize awards $25,000 apiece to 10 projects around the world with significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase carbon uptake. The application deadline for this year's competition is February 10. The Keeling Curve Prize is named after scientist Charles David Keeling's iconic graph showing an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere since the 1950s. Last year, the graph showed carbon dioxide emissions topping 415 parts per million (ppm) – the highest levels ever recorded. McKibben co-founded the international environmental organization 350.org, which is named after a Keeling Curve measurement of 350 ppm. Scientists consider 350 ppm the recommended upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "I am pleased to join the board of the Global Warming Mitigation Project," McKibben said. "The project's signature initiative, the Keeling Curve Prize, shares the same mission as 350.org, which is to bend the Keeling Curve to safer levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide for humans and current ecosystems to survive." The 2020 Keeling Curve Prize will award $25,000 to each of two projects in the categories of: Capture & Utilization Energy Finance Social & Cultural Pathways Transport & Mobility "Bill McKibben is joining the board as we begin to grow. The foundation of the Keeling Curve Prize has been established, and now is the time to rapidly scale the organization and further boost the winners' profiles. Bill is the perfect person to help us take this important step," said Jacquelyn Francis, director of the Global Warming Mitigation Project and executive director of the Keeling Curve Prize. Keeling Curve Prize applications are screened by analysts, and winners are chosen by a panel of esteemed climate scientists and policy experts, including Achala Abeysinghe, Ph.D., of the International Institute for Environment and Development; Brenda Ekwurzel, Ph.D., of the Union of Concerned Scientists; Lucas Joppa, Ph.D., of Microsoft; George Polk of Tulum Trust; and Jonathan Silver of Tax Equity Advisors, LLC. The straightforward application for the 2020 Keeling Curve Prize can be found here. The deadline is February 10, 2020 or upon the receipt of 300 applications, whichever comes first. Finalists will be named at the Earth Optimism Summit in Washington in April. Winners will be announced at a ceremony this summer. McKibben is the winner of environmental prizes himself, including the Gandhi Prize, the Thomas Merton Prize, and the Right Livelihood Prize, which is sometimes called the "Alternative Nobel." He wrote The End of Nature, which is considered the first book on climate change for a general audience and has appeared in 24 languages. McKibben is the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and holds honorary degrees from 18 colleges and universities.

New Upgrade for HiWorld, an International Education Brand of TAL
BEIJING, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Global Education Summit 2019 (GES 2019) on November 26, HiWorld, the international education brand of TAL Education Group, announced its new upgrade along with a new brand idea - Early Planning of Globalization-driven Learning for International Competitiveness.

This is exactly how HiWorld comprehensively motivates globalization-oriented growth of Chinese students. HiWorld's Ivy League Preparation Program is tailored for students of Grade 3-6. This program features teaching around children's core competence and skills, namely 5CS (short for Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Cultural Competence and Study Skills) for the purpose that children really can acquire knowledge, analyze problems, and express opinions in English.

In addition to the traditional assessment of subject scores, ACT is also exploring the assessment indicators and methods for non-academic skills, including leadership, curiosity and teamwork. ACT hopes to work with HiWorld to explore global competency standards and help more students go global. At the Summit, HiWorld also awarded a Letter of Appointment of HiWorld International Academic Advisor to Daniel Schwartz, Dean of Stanford Graduate School of Education. Being an expert in the science of human learning, Daniel Schwartz has long focused on the research of learning style innovation and teaching assessment. In the future, he will work with the elite experts of HiWorld Academic Advisory Committee to explore the international education path suitable for China. In an age calling for globalization talents, HiWorld, after its brand upgrade, will continue to focus on the core competence and skills of 5CS, rely on high-quality international education resources, cultivate the core competence and skills of the children at each stage, help them expand their international vision, develop their comprehensive capabilities and support their future globalization-oriented growth.

New YPO Global Pulse Survey on Trust Finds Young Business Leaders View Trust as Critical But Lack Plans on How to Build it With Employees
Close to 3,000 Chief Executives from 115 countries weighed in on this essential to business topic NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- YPO, the global leadership community of more than 28,000 chief executives in 135 countries, conducted a member survey designed to provide the chief executive perspective on the importance of stakeholder trust, the extent to which they are taking action and succeeding at building cultures of trust within their organizations, and their views on the role of societal impact in building trust with stakeholders. YPO's 2020 Global Pulse Survey on Trust, conducted 1-18 November 2019 with 2,960 respondents, found it is a key matter for business leaders around the world, but there are significant gaps between business leaders' thoughts and actions. Key findings include: 96 percent of chief executives rate building and maintaining trust with stakeholders as a high priority, with close to half (42 percent) saying that the importance of building trust with stakeholders has increased in the past five years. Only 40 percent of chief executives find it easy to build trust with employees, and they find it even more challenging to do so with their customers (36 percent). Even though most global business leaders agree this is high priority issue in which they feel increasing urgency around, over 60 percent have yet to measure employee trust within their business and only a third (34 percent) have defined specific plans within their business for building/maintaining employee trust.

Caltex Jurong Spring awarded industry's first BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) Award
SINGAPORE, Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Chevron Singapore, which operates the retail brand Caltex, has launched the industry's first petrol station to be awarded a BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certificate – one of the highest sustainable building accolades by Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Designed to meet the fueling needs of its neighborhood with less environmental impact, the petrol station harnesses renewable solar energy, features greater efficiency in water resources management, and is expected to deliver total energy savings equivalent to powering almost 30 Singaporean households, per annum[1]. Caltex Jurong Spring "Raising industry standards is a demonstration of Chevron's, and our brand Caltex's, commitment to operate responsibly with trust and integrity. This award aligns with our actions across the crude to customer value chain to provide affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy," said Glenn Johnson, Chevron's Vice President for Asia Products. "Efficiency and conservation translate to good business – helping preserve resources while reducing costs, carbon, and greenhouse gas emissions in a meaningful way." The BCA Green Mark scheme is a benchmarking tool which incorporates internationally recognized best practices in environmental design and performance. Applicable for new and existing non-residential buildings, the "Super Low Energy" (SLE) voluntary certification framework introduced in 2018 provides recognition for best-in-class energy-efficient buildings in addition to their Green Mark ratings. To achieve SLE status, buildings need to achieve at least 60 per cent energy savings by adopting energy-efficient measures and onsite renewable energy based on the 2005 building code level. On the BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) award, Mr. Ang Kian Seng, BCA's Group Director, Environmental Sustainability, said, "We commend Chevron for becoming the first company to have a super low energy petrol station in Singapore. This was achieved by using energy efficient air-conditioning and lighting systems combined with the deployment of high capacity roof top solar panels that provides for 45% of the building's energy needs. We hope more building owners will be inspired to embrace Super Low Energy standards by incorporating innovative and cost-effective technologies to reap more energy savings throughout the building's lifecycle." For motorists, Caltex's latest network addition offers greater convenience for residents in the west. Customers can expect the brand's signature customer service promise of quality fuels, faster payments using the CaltexGO mobile app, and a varied StarMart convenience store. As a new resident, Caltex worked closely with the Jurong Spring Constituency Office for a deeper insight into their immediate neighborhood needs. This helped realize more impactful community giving programs that have been running since October 2019, including food aid to more than 100 families in partnership with charity Food from the Heart and Jurong Spring Community Club. Caltex volunteers were at hand to assemble and deliver food packs from the petrol station to local collection centres. "We believe in fueling community progress. As such, for every transaction made on CaltexGO at Caltex Jurong Spring until January 31, Caltex will be contributing towards a neighborhood Fuel My Community program. Funds will be used to purchase GrabAssist gift cards for 100 selected beneficiaries, for a more convenient commute to and from St Luke's Hospital or St Luke's ElderCare Centre," said Mr. Jay Gomez, Chevron's General Manager of Products for Singapore, Malaysia and Cambodia.

Ltd. markets the 83-year-young Caltex brand, which is Chevron's customer-facing brand in Asia Pacific and parts of the Middle East and Africa. The Caltex retail network in Singapore consists of 26 Caltex service stations and StarMart-branded convenience stores. All Caltex service stations accept the multi award-winning CaltexGO mobile payment for fuel purchases. Products such as the Caltex with Techron® with Clean & Glide Technology™ petrol, Caltex Diesel with Techron® D and Havoline® motor oil are also available at all Caltex service stations. In partnership with NTUC Link, the Plus! loyalty program also enables motorists to earn 3 LinkPoints for every litre of fuel purchased at Caltex. On March 14, 2019, Caltex together with multi-champion race car driver Natasha Chang, powered a 28-year-old car powered by Caltex with Techron up a 1,000m ascent in record time, setting a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title in Chiang Rai.

ACG School Jakarta Fosters Leadership and Creativity Through Student-Directed Initiatives
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To equip young people with the ability to assume leadership roles and give them the confidence to help drive future change, ACG School Jakarta has introduced an array of student-led enterprises which promote independent thinking. The ACG Radio Station allows students to learn and explore professional broadcast practices. Extending across the ACG School Jakarta curricular and co-curricular activities, the initiatives are operated entirely by ACG's Secondary students, and include producing a monthly digital magazine, managing the Student Council's Instagram account, and running the school's radio station. "These initiatives create multiple platforms that require critical, creative and innovative thinking to be successful. By encouraging creative thinking, our young people learn problem-solving skills which are important to help them thrive and succeed as future leaders in their professional lives," says ACG School Jakarta Principal, Shawn Hutchinson. ACG School Jakarta's focus on such activities has been an ever-growing fixture within their dual curricula -- the Cambridge International and International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes. "Our curriculum encourages students to master a particular subject in-depth, so they will become confident individuals who stand out in society, with the ability to set ambitious goals and go through the challenging process to achieve them. Our IB Diploma Programme enriches students with a personalised learning process to develop their interests for lifelong learning through compassionate and real-life practices," adds Mr Hutchinson. One of the core components of ACG's IB Diploma Programme is the Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) Project which emphasises the value of learning experiences beyond the classroom setting. These elements are clearly reflected in the school's focus towards student-directed endeavours. ACG Radio Station Founded in 2018 by one of ACG School Jakarta's Senior Teachers, Richard Todd, the ACG Radio Station allows students to learn and explore professional broadcast practices. They have the chance to write scripts, conduct research and interviews, and produce content using Rodecaster Pro, a fully integrated podcast production studio. Mr Todd feels that the focus on play and experimentation within the radio station encourages problem-solving skills. "We have noted that future employers are more inclined to hire people who can solve problems, and not simply to fill a space in an office," he said. "This radio station helps prepare young people to be independent, creative, responsible and competent, and equips them with real skills connected to the world outside of school." STUCO Instagram STUCO Instagram is the official Instagram account of ACG School Jakarta's Student Council. Started in October 2019, the platform updates the ACG Jakarta community about the various school events the council runs. One of the moderators, Year 12 Prefect Lina Hutchinson, highlights how this account is different from the school's main Instagram page due to it being entirely student-led. "It gives students and parents fast and accurate updates that come straight from us," says Lina. "From a leadership perspective, we have learnt a lot, like effective strategies to organise an event from scratch, plus how to advertise and make announcements via social media." She believes the council's involvement in managing the social media platform has positively impacted on their academic studies. "It helps us relate to subjects like Art and Economics. Through this account we have learnt more about graphic design, colour schemes and poster designs. Plus, it is a great form of advertising which allows us to keep learning about persuasive text creation and the importance of communication in our daily life." ACG Times Another recently introduced enterprise is the ACG Times, a digital magazine which shares information about both school and campus life. Year 12 student and content writer, Anastasia Sufian, explains how the student-directed magazine gives them an opportunity to offer their perspective on school affairs and has posed challenges for the editorial team to overcome. "We learned to manage the editorial process and plan content strategy from beginning to end. We now have a better understanding of the importance of teamwork and creativity in producing appealing visuals and content," she says. With the help of the School Principal and teachers, ACG Times has become a popular and well-regarded news source, widely subscribed by ACG parents and teachers. For more information, visit: https://theacgtimes.weebly.com/ About ACG School Jakarta: An international school for a global education, ACG School Jakarta provides outstanding academic services with proven quality and results in a values-driven, supportive and diverse environment. Situated in South Jakarta and easily accessible to the Ring Road, it places a strong emphasis on academic learning, creativity, innovation, international curriculum and the highest quality teachers. ACG School's dedication to developing the individual is also reflected in their co-curricular activities, including a wide range of music, sporting, cultural and leadership opportunities. Through top quality teaching, well-equipped classrooms, pleasant outdoor areas and a caring environment, ACG School Jakarta offers a modern, safe and highly stimulating place of learning. https://jakarta.acgedu.com/ Media Contact: Shawn HutchinsonPrincipal, ACG School JakartaEmail: Shawn.Hutchinson@acgedu.com Tel: (021) 29780200 Photo - https://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20200108/2685636-1?lang=0 Related Links :https://jakarta.acgedu.com/
