Invisors recognised in UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024 List!

Published

on

GLASGOW, Scotland, May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invisors, a Workday Services Partner, has officially been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024 by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.

Invisors ranked #14 in the brand new UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List which recognises companies making employee development a key part of company culture. 

The listed workplaces offer employees the chance to better themselves, to learn new skills and to progress within the organisation. By being included in the List, the companies have demonstrated they understand that development is not one-size fits all and they actively support every single employee to undertake their own tailored journey of growth. Because of this, their people are fuelled by a sense of purpose, feel valued by their employer and give their best to the organisation.

“Receiving this award after only being in the UK for 2 years is a fantastic achievement and a testament to us replicating the culture and leadership style of Invisors US,” shares Matt Lawrence, EMEA Commercial Lead at Invisors. “Our hiring policy has been simple – recruiting great people who fit straight into the team and live our values every day. As the Invisors UK team grows each month we have been selective in hiring experienced resources alongside graduates straight out of university – this ensures deep expertise alongside some fresh ideas and different ways of thinking.”

In the official survey completed by Invisors UK teammates, 100% of employees indicated pride in their team, the team’s accomplishments and their willingness to give extra for the success of the team. The group’s sense of community and commitment is a driving factor in their success. Invisors’ inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges the ongoing commitment to the team’s growth and development.

“Employee training and development isn’t just about teaching employees to do their jobs, it’s about showing employees that they are valued and that there is a path of progression available. When employees don’t see opportunity, they don’t bring their best selves to work and productivity and retention will be adversely impacted,” said Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK.

“Employee development is future-focused and evidences a commitment to employee’s long-term growth. It ensures your people feel valued, and feeds into the overall company culture and strategy. Each year, we recognise organisations whose thriving workplace cultures are enabling both their people and their business to flourish. Opportunities for learning and development are a crucial element of this success, which is why we are so thrilled to be recognising this year, for the very first time, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development.”

Matt Smith, EMEA Delivery Lead at Invisors shares more about the team’s road to success. “We started with 2 in February 2022 and are nearly 50 strong just 2 years later. We have built a team with strong experience across the various functional areas of Workday, from Human Capital Management through to Payroll and Finance in order to support clients on their journey by transforming their businesses using Workday and supporting customers already on Workday taking things to the next level. We have focused on hiring for our culture to create the environment that we all want to work in and a team that lives our values and shows up for each other and our clients, every day.”

To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List, Great Place To Work® reviewed each company’s culture, benefits, approach to leadership and development, alongside anonymous responses from employees. These data insights are then used to benchmark each company’s employee value proposition against the culture employees actually experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.

Published

on

By

BOSTON, Mass., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Industry leaders today announced the formation of the 5G Operational Technology Alliance (5G-OT Alliance), a groundbreaking, network owner-led initiative dedicated to accelerating the secure and efficient adoption of private 5G and LTE networks in operational technology (OT) environments. This alliance distinguishes itself by placing control and direction directly in the hands of network owners, ensuring unbiased knowledge sharing and collaborative innovation.

Mission: Shaping the Future of Industrial Connectivity

The 5G-OT Alliance’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of private 5G & LTE networking in operational technology by fostering collaboration, empowering innovation, and driving market transformation.

Vision: A Connected, Intelligent, and Secure Industrial Future

The Alliance envisions a future where private 5G and LTE dramatically change industrial operations. Real-time data will drive automation and faster decisions, boosting efficiency. Strong security will protect critical systems, reducing risks. Smart connectivity will improve resource use, leading to more sustainable practices. Flexible networks will support changing industry needs. By sharing best practices and developing practical use cases, the Alliance will unlock the full potential of private 5G, creating smarter, more efficient, and secure industries worldwide.

“The 5G-OT Alliance is uniquely positioned to accelerate the adoption of private 5G by focusing on practical, real-world use cases,” said Tripp Winkler, Executive Director of the 5G-OT Alliance. “We are bringing together network owners to share knowledge and drive innovation, ensuring that private 5G solutions are tailored to the specific needs of industrial operations. This member led focus will be the key to our success.”

The promise of Industry 4.0, with its emphasis on automation, real-time data analysis, and interconnected systems, hinges on robust and reliable wireless connectivity. Private 5G and LTE networks are essential for delivering the low latency, high bandwidth, and secure communication required to power these advanced industrial applications.

Toronto’s new innovation studio highlights aging-in-place solutions

AGE-WELL, Canada’s Technology and Aging Network, launches immersive space in partnership with University of Toronto, IKEA, and AGE-WELL startups

TORONTO, May 8, 2025 /CNW/ – Most older adults want to stay in their own homes as they age, and technology is key to making this a reality. A new space in downtown Toronto is demonstrating how innovative solutions can support independent living and healthy aging.

Today, AGE-WELL officially opens the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio—an immersive space that brings to life the role of technology and thoughtfully designed environments in enabling people to age in place.

Modelled after a typical one-bedroom apartment, the studio integrates smart-home systems, health monitoring devices, voice integrated personal aides and other cutting-edge technologies to show how they can seamlessly support daily activities and health needs.

Specific features include a smart stove safety device that alerts users or caregivers if the stove is left unattended; a sleep tracker that can detect vital signs and sense when someone gets out of bed, helping monitor sleep patterns and safety; and an exergame that promotes both physical and cognitive health by pairing cycling with scenic videos.

More than just a demonstration space, the studio serves as a hub for innovation, connecting startups, larger companies, researchers, senior living and home care organizations, older adults, caregivers, investors and other partners.

“By providing a platform for companies to showcase brilliant products and connect with key stakeholders, the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio will speed up the adoption of AgeTech innovations that benefit older adults and their caregivers. It’s all about getting these essential solutions into people’s hands,” said Bridgette Murphy, Acting CEO, AGE-WELL.

The studio also enables practical testing of AgeTech solutions in a realistic environment, allowing researchers and developers to collect user feedback and refine their products. “The real-life setting is crucial, as is direct engagement with older adults and caregivers. Technologies and services must align with the needs and priorities of the people who will actually use them,” said Ms. Murphy.

Located at 800 Bay Street, the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio was created by AGE-WELL with support from the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at the University of Toronto and in partnership with IKEA Toronto Downtown, which provided the furniture; and AGE-WELL startups. AGE-WELL is Canada’s Technology and Aging Network, and a member of the University of Toronto’s Institutional Strategic Initiatives (ISI) program, which supports large-scale interdisciplinary research networks that address grand challenges.

“The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at the University of Toronto is proud to support the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio. This important addition to Canada’s innovation landscape provides a much-needed space to exhibit advanced technologies and prototypes that support healthy aging. It offers a valuable platform for University of Toronto researchers and entrepreneurs − as well as innovators from across Canada and beyond − to exhibit their innovations and connect with partners who can help bring these solutions to the people who need them most,” said Dr. Chris Yip, Dean, Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, University of Toronto.

For Paul Lea, an older adult living with vascular dementia, technology has already made a meaningful difference in his daily life. “Smart home devices have given me a sense of security and independence. I can control my lights with my voice. My door locks automatically if I forget to lock it. I have an app that reminds me when it’s time to take my medications. I’m glad there’s a place like the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio that shows how technology can support older people to live safely and independently at home.”

Designing for independence

“At IKEA, we believe that a well-designed home can significantly enhance the quality of life for everyone, including older adults,” said Arnar Eidskrem, Market Manager, IKEA Toronto Downtown. “Our collaboration with AGE-WELL is a testament to our commitment in creating functional and beautiful spaces that support independent living. By integrating our thoughtfully designed, affordable furniture, we aim to demonstrate how older adults can live independently and comfortably in their own homes.”

The AGE-WELL Innovation Studio will also function as an educational space, offering training sessions for students, caregivers and professionals in the field of aging and technology.

“Our ultimate goal is to enable older adults to live independently for longer and enhance their quality of life while fostering collaboration between researchers, companies, and the community,” said Dr. Alex Mihailidis, Academic Director, AGE-WELL ISI, and Vice-Chair, Research, AGE-WELL Board of Directors. A leading researcher in aging and technology, Dr. Mihailidis has spent decades developing solutions to support older adults and caregivers.

“AGE-WELL has long been a convener in the AgeTech sector, bringing everyone together to drive innovation. Now, we have a physical space where innovators can showcase solutions directly to potential users, accelerating the uptake of existing technologies and advancing new innovations.”

With one in four Canadians expected to be over 65 by 2035, the need for technology-driven solutions is more urgent than ever. According to a 2019 Environics Research poll, more than 8 in 10 Canadians over the age of 65 believe technological advances can help older adults stay safe, in their own homes longer, and stay independent.

“AGE-WELL is thrilled to collaborate on this exciting initiative with partners who share our mission to accelerate the delivery of technology-based solutions that support healthy aging,” said Ms. Murphy. “Technology can never replace the human touch, but it is a powerful tool that can help older adults lead healthy, independent, and engaged lives.”

AGE-WELL extends its thanks to U of T and IKEA Toronto Downtown, and wishes to acknowledge the AGE-WELL Startup Affiliates who are the first users of this space: AltumView, Centivizer, Chirp, and Tochtech Technologies.
