WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Best Egg, a leading fintech that drives financial confidence, is excited to announce that it has been recognized as one of America’s Top Most Loved Workplace for 2024 by Newsweek for the second consecutive year, ranking #57 on the list.

This recognition is supported by the research and analysis of Best Practice Institute (BPI). The Most Loved Workplace list, published annually by Newsweek, offers a comprehensive view of workplace sentiment for organizations today.

“Being named one of America’s 2024 Top Most Loved Workplaces by Newsweek is a great honor because it highlights one of our core values: Our People Matter,” said Paul Ricci, CEO at Best Egg. “At Best Egg, we believe that inclusion creates a strong work environment. By valuing and respecting everyone, we help our team reach their full potential. This award shows how inclusion drives innovation, engagement, and success. We’re thankful to our team for making Best Egg a great place to work, and this recognition is possible because of their input.”

Most Loved Workplace recognizes companies where employees are the happiest and most satisfied at work. Five critical areas measured to gauge employee sentiment were: how positive workers feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much employer values align with employee values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at the firm. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development, and company leadership were identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas measured.

“It’s inspiring to see the list expand this year to 200 companies, a clear indication that organizations are truly committed to creating workplaces where employees feel valued and connected,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief of Newsweek. “We’re thrilled to celebrate their achievements as this recognition continues to grow.”

“When companies set up employees to succeed, the entire organization thrives. This year’s Top America’s Most Loved Workplaces® shows that fostering love of the workplace isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a key driver of performance and retention,” said Louis Carter, Founder and CEO of BPI and Most Loved Workplace. “We’re excited to see the list grow to 200 companies this year, but that’s just the beginning. Our work won’t be done until every company in the world is Most Loved Workplace® certified and every employee loves showing up to their job each day.”

The results of the Top Most Loved Workplaces list were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000.

GEEKOM Announces the Best Cost-Effective Mini PC- GEEKOM A6

Published

January 15, 2025

TAIPEI, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GEEKOM, the Green Mini PC Global Leader, is going to release a new model named the A6 on January 17th, 2025.

This mini PC is already available for pre-order on GEEKOM‘s official website. Priced at $449, it may just be the new best mini PC under $500.

According to the official information, the GEEKOM A6 mini PC employs a well-ventilated aluminum chassis which measures only 0.47 liter, but it packs enormous power under the hood, thanks to the perfect combination of a beefy processor, high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM, and a fast PCIe Gen4 SSD.

At the heart of the GEEKOM A6 is the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor. With 8 powerful Zen3+ cores, 16 threads and 16MB L3 cache, this mobile chip is on par with the latest mainstream desktop CPUs in processing speed, allowing the GEEKOM A6 to handle complex computing duties like multimedia editing, code writing and data-intensive analysis with ease. The integrated Radeon 680M GPU also matches entry-level discrete graphics cards in gaming performance, giving the A6 enough oomph to run modern AAA titles smoothly at 1080P resolution. In addition, the A6 comes with Windows 11 OS, so buyers can use the mini PC right out of the box.

When it comes to heat dissipation, the mini PC features GEEKOM’s super-efficient IceBlast cooling technology. With air being actively redirected to different layers of the system, and pushed out through the rear of the chassis, key internal components can stay cool and stable even when tasks are loaded.

Besides its superb performance, the GEEKOM A6 is also perfectly reliable. It is built with premium material and has undergone rigorous testing before mass production, including 120 hours of high and low temperature test, 90 minutes of vibration test, 15000 cycles of I/O plug-unplug durability test, strict EMI radiation test and more. As a result, the A6’s lifespan is expected to be twice as long as that of mini PCs from other brands. Also, each GEEKOM mini PC is covered by a 3-year limited warranty, and the company offers 24/7 after-sale services for its users.

The A6’s launch event will be streamed live on GEEKOM‘s official YouTube channel on January 17th, 2025. During the launch event, GEEKOM will randomly give viewers promo codes to get the A6 at a discounted price.
