LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., June 13, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect data, assets, and people, today announced it has been named to Newsweek’s list of Global Most Loved Workplaces® for the second consecutive year. The company ranked #78 among the top 100 companies recognized globally for employee happiness and satisfaction at work.

"We are delighted to be acknowledged by Newsweek, particularly since it stems from the positive feedback from our employees," said Jeff Schmitz, Chief People Officer, Zebra Technologies. "At Zebra, we prioritize attracting, retaining, and developing our people who are at the heart of everything we do, and together, we create new ways of working that make everyday life better for organizations, their employees, and those they serve."

For example, Zebra’s Culture Connect online engagement hub links employees to reflection exercises, training courses, and learning plans that empower teams to embody the company’s values.

"As workplaces continue to shift, it’s clearer than ever that fostering collaboration, embracing a positive outlook, and aligning values are essential," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief of Newsweek. "The companies celebrated on the 2024 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list truly embody these principles. They show us that by championing respect and team-oriented outcomes, they’re not just building great workplaces, they’re shaping a brighter future for all."

Zebra’s certification as a Most Loved Workplace is based on its scores on the Love of Workplace Index™ based on surveyed employees regarding elements around employee satisfaction and sentiment including the level of respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging they feel inside the company.

"I started Most Loved Workplaces out of inspiration from my community of people who consciously place love for their employees at the center of their business model," said Louis Carter, the Founder, and CEO of BPI and a Social/Organizational Psychologist, Thought Leader, Entrepreneur, and Author.

LCBO workers set early July deadline for potential liquor store strike
The bargaining team of the Ontario public sector union issued a strong warning to the provincial government and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) on Tuesday, expressing their dissatisfaction with the current state of collective bargaining. Colleen MacLeod, the chair of the board employees division, accused Premier Doug Ford of pursuing a backroom deal that would result in a significant loss of public funds. Following a historic vote, in which 97 per cent of LCBO workers supported strike action if necessary, the bargaining team announced plans to initiate a strike in early July. "We also requested a no-board report, which was issued today, which will put us in a legal strike position as of 12:01 on Friday, July 5th,” MacLeod said.

The US wants to decouple its military supplies from China - but can it?
China's central role in the global supply chain has prompted the United States to initiate a series of measures to de-risk its relationship with the world's second largest economy as relations worsen. For the US defence industry, it seems inevitable that Washington will want to go further and seek to cut out China completely. China now plays a central role in the global economy as a leading producer of everything from the raw materials used to make basic equipment and rare earth metals to the hi-tech equipment that is vital to the production of some of America's most advanced weapons.

Chinese automakers seek retaliatory tariffs on EU cars, state media reports
SHANGHAI/BEIJING/BERLIN (Reuters) -Chinese automakers have urged Beijing to hike tariffs on imported European gasoline-powered cars in retaliation for Brussels' curbs on exports of Chinese-made EVs, the state-backed Global Times newspaper said on Wednesday. In a closed-door meeting on Tuesday also attended by European car companies, China's auto industry "called on the government to adopt firm countermeasures (and) suggested that positive consideration be given to raising the provisional tariff on gasoline cars with large-displacement engines," according to the report. The meeting, organised by China's Ministry of Commerce, was held in Beijing and attended by SAIC, BYD , BMW, Volkswagen and its Porsche division, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Japan's weak yen lifts exports, but falling volume highlights soft demand
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's weak yen sharply boosted the value of exports in May but the volume of sales shrank for the fourth consecutive month, highlighting that global demand is still relatively soft and complicating the central bank's monetary tightening path. The Bank of Japan last week took a step forward to reduce its huge bond purchases as part of plans to exit years of massive stimulus. The soft underbelly in the trade report though adds to the picture of a fragile economy, making future interest rate hikes far from assured.
