Amava Announces the First Unified Platform for a New Generation of Empty-Nesters and Retirees to Discover Their Next

/

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Amava announces the launch of its unified platform connecting a new generation of retirees and empty-nesters with select socially engaging experiences, life stage-focused services and each other. Amava empowers individuals to make successful transitions to purposeful and engaged post-career, post-parenting lives — essential ingredients to health and longevity.

“We focus first on social engagement because, according to research, it can be more critical to wellness than genes, nutrition or fitness routines,” said Mark Silverman, CEO of Amava. “Of course, it’s typically where we get the most joy in life as well.”

More than 10,000 people a day in the US are leaving their full-time careers and today’s 70M+ Baby Boomers face distinct challenges as they navigate their 30+ post-career years. While independence and increased longevity promise new horizons, they also require additional demands--from new connections to financial stability to demands for insurance, caregiving, financial management, living accommodations, health and wellness. Though they control over $60 trillion in net assets, more than half of Boomers will need to augment their retirement savings with additional income to maintain their lifestyles. Amava presents options to help members navigate this new phase.

Can Early Pay Help Restaurants Retain Employees?

/

The statistics on American wealth are ugly: Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. More than half of all Americans have less than $1,000 in their bank accounts.

Things are especially hard for people who earn at or just above minimum wage, a segment that includes many fast-casual and quick-service workers. Add to that the fact that the jobless rate in the U.S. this year hit a 49-year low, and you get a difficult market for limited-service restaurants to recruit and keep talented workers.

But some brands are recognizing these challenges and responding with new tools for expedited pay that allow their employees more flexibility around when they access their wages. And there are some signs that these new tools are helping improve important measures like employee retention and morale.

One such tool, called DailyPay, has been growing in popularity with many big-name brands, including Captain D’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, and KFC, DailyPay spokesman Karl Pawlewicz says. He describes the technology, which can be accessed as a phone application or on the computer for employees, as an “ATM for employee earnings.”
