In a recent update, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis raised Q3 GDP growth to 5.2% from 4.9%. Exciting news, however, higher borrowing costs are impacting hiring and spending. As a result, some organizations are reconsidering their staffing strategies. Despite this, the demand for skilled EDI and B2B integration talent remains high due to the pressure to streamline and automate processes. Our latest eBook, “Managed EDI Strategies for a Post-Pandemic Economy,” offers actionable ideas to help you achieve your business objectives while managing staffing expenses. #ManagedServices #EDI #B2BIntegration #EDIManagedServices Guide to Managed EDI Strategies https://bit.ly/44ZNsPs

Exciting news for the logistics industry! The FTC just banned non-competes nationwide, fostering competition, new business growth and protecting the fundamental freedom of workers to change jobs. While senior executives ($150K+) will still be held to existing non-competes, employers are prohibited from entering into or enforcing new non-competes with senior executives. The best part? All other workers are now free from these constraints. Keep in mind, non-solicits (which are very common in our industry) will remain enforceable. I'm eager to see how this change will impact talent acquisition and business growth in logistics. Will it truly be a game changer?
