KUNA, Idaho, December 19, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
American Ostrich Farms (AOF) has been named 2022’s Best Alternative Red Meat Producer by LUXLife Magazine in their 7th annual Food & Drink Awards. LUXLife’s awards program recognizes those who offer the best products, finest services, and incredible experiences to their customers. Nominees from across the globe are assessed and judged purely on merit and excellence.

“We are honored to be recognized as the USA’s Best Alternative Red Meat Producer,” says AOF Founder and CEO Alex McCoy. “This award validates our work to provide a more sustainable, healthful, yet truly gourmet product that is quickly finding its way into some of the nation’s most outstanding dining establishments, as well as home kitchens across the country.”

With the opening of their own USDA-inspected processing plant, AOF closed the gap on its “hatch to harvest” production chain, which allows them to ensure that each and every cut of meat that goes to market is of the utmost quality. At a time when consumers are seeing more plant-based and cultivated protein products hit store shelves, AOF is taking advantage of the ostrich’s unique biology to offer a novel solution to the environmental and health concerns surrounding conventional animal-based products and these newer substitutes. Learn more and view all available products at www.AmericanOstrichFarms.com.

About American Ostrich Farms

Far from factory farms and the culture of waste, American Ostrich Farms has set out to revolutionize the way red meat is produced and consumed. We believe that every choice makes a difference and when common sense meets a common purpose, we can do what’s right for generations to come. Our flagship family farm is in Idaho’s Snake River Plain and is North America’s largest producer of ostrich, a uniquely sustainable red meat.

AOF congratulates all of the winners of this year’s LUXLife Food & Drink Awards.

AIRLINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD LAND IN DUBLIN FOR AN IN-PERSON CEREMONY HONORING THE 2022 APEX REGIONAL PASSENGER CHOICE AWARD® WINNERS
[ad_1]

Press Release

Jun 8, 2022
DUBLIN, June 8, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) hosted the aviation industry in Dublin, Ireland, this week to celebrate airlines being honored with the 2022 APEX Regional Passenger Choice Awards®. The awards were given out Wednesday, 8 June, during APEX’s popular Content Market event, which was ‎collocated with the FTE EMEA/Ancillary/World Airport Retailing Summit. The awards recognize airlines in various regions for providing the best passenger experiences as rated by passengers.

APEX once again partnered with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel-organizing app, to gather data based on neutral, third-party passenger feedback and insights. For the 2022 awards, well over one million flights were rated by passengers across more than 600 airlines from around the world using a five-star scale. On the same screen, passengers were given the opportunity to provide anonymous ratings in five subcategories: seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment, and Wi-Fi. The single screen rating allows airline passengers to easily rate their flight in less than 15 seconds. The 2022 APEX Regional Passenger Choice Awards were independently certified by a third-party auditing company and verified by Porsche Consulting.

“Recipients of the 2022 Regional Passenger Choice Awards were honored in Dublin thanks to the feedback of their passengers during some of the most difficult times of the pandemic for aviation,” APEX/IFSA CEO Dr. Joe Leader said. “Over the last year, each of these airlines has taken incredible steps to provide the best in-flight experience against the backdrop of challenges. We are proud to shine a light on these best-in-class airlines for each region of the world.”

Last December, winners of the 2022 APEX Global Passenger Choice Awards® were announced at the APEX/IFSA Awards Ceremony during APEX/IFSA EXPO in Long Beach, California, USA. Winners of the 2022 APEX Global Passenger Choice Award® were: Emirates for Best Entertainment; EVA Air for Best Cabin Service; Delta Air Lines for Best Wi-Fi; and Qatar Airways for Best Seat Comfort, and for the APEX/IFSA Global Passenger Choice Awards for Best Food & Beverage.

The Global Passenger Choice Awards are the highest award attainable. Airlines receiving the Global honor are not eligible to receive a duplicate award at a regional level. For the regional awards, the highest honor goes to APEX Passenger Choice Award winners for Best Overall. Airlines receiving that honor are not eligible to receive redundant awards for in-flight categories. Finally, no airline may be awarded more than two in-flight categories for a region. These rules were established by the APEX Awards Committee to make certain that airlines are recognized based on the areas where they shine most brightly at a global, regional, and category level.

National effort helps employers solve staffing challenges, directs job seekers to employers that value and hire experience

Indianapolis, IN, June 12, 2017 (Newswire.com)

YourEncore, a leading provider of world-class expertise for flexible resourcing and consulting engagements to life sciences and consumer goods companies, has joined more than 450 organizations in signing the AARP Employer Pledge, confirming their commitment to hiring across the age spectrum and leveraging the value that experienced workers bring to companies of all sizes.

“YourEncore was founded on the core principle that experience matters,” said Mike Lewis, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at YourEncore. “Our mission is to put experience to work. We offer clients the opportunity to tap into the most accomplished and experienced community of experts in the world, and we offer our talent community, or YourEncore Experts as we call them, the opportunity to use their experience to make a lasting difference. We are excited to join with AARP in its mission to drive awareness of the wisdom, experience, and technical skill of accomplished business professionals.”

“YourEncore was founded on the core principle that experience matters. We are excited to join with AARP in its mission to drive awareness of the wisdom, experience, and technical skill of accomplished business professionals. We’re passionate about creating the workforce of the future…one that is ageless, inspires and engages talent, and accelerates business performance. We look forward to working with AARP on this all-important journey.”

Mike Lewis, YourEncore Chief Sales & Marketing Officer

Employers are facing a chasm of wisdom, experience, and absolute talent supply that places achievement of their business objectives at risk. Over 10,000 Baby Boomers retire every day. While Millennials currently provide the workforce with a large infusion of talent, their numbers alone are still not enough to stem the tide of departing Boomers¹. This talent gap cannot be closed with traditional employment models. Given the seismic shifts taking place in today’s workforce, companies need to think differently about how they utilize talent, and individuals need to think differently about how they approach work. YourEncore is uniquely positioned to provide both groups with the solutions they need to successfully navigate and take advantage of this perfect storm that is today’s economy.

YourEncore combines cutting-edge technology and high-touch personal engagement to build robust, vibrant talent communities, match talent to business requirements, and create tailored talent solutions that allow clients to transform and grow and Experts to realize their personal and professional goals.

Although some Boomers are stepping away from traditional full-time, career-focused employment, many want to continue working, for a host of reasons from social to professional to financial². YourEncore is a leader in mobilizing this “encore workforce” and has helped thousands of Experts build successful consulting careers through rewarding project work and professional development.

For clients, YourEncore deploys world class expertise from their Expert Network to solve complex problems, support critical initiatives, and fill capability and capacity gaps. Experts are hand-picked and matched for subject matter expertise and business acumen. They are alumni from some of the best companies in the world, average over 25 years of experience, and the majority hold advanced degrees. The power of that experience – which the AARP Employer Pledge Program is designed to elevate – is the impetus behind the founding and on-going growth of YourEncore.

“We’re passionate about creating the workforce of the future…one that is ageless, inspires and engages talent, and accelerates business performance,” said Lewis. “We look forward to working with AARP on this all-important journey.”
