StaffConnect Sees Explosive Growth of Employee Engagement Mobile App Platform and Significant Market Expansion As Customers Reap the Benefits of Increased Employee and Customer Satisfaction Boosting Bottom Line Profitability
*Company Closes Out Q3 2018 with a 139% Increase in Recurring Revenue over Q3 2017 as Company Closes Marquee Accounts Across Construction, Healthcare, Hospitality and Manufacturing*LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StaffConnect, the leading provider of mobile employee engagement solutions, today announced continued explosive growth, closing out Q3 2018 with a 139% increase in recurring revenue over Q3 2017, along with a 32% increase from Q2 2018 to Q3 2018. Persistent adoption of the company’s groundbreaking employee communications and engagement platform in the Construction, Healthcare, Hospitality and Manufacturing industries contributed to Staffconnect’s market traction as it continues to rapidly expand its worldwide footprint.
A report by The Starr Conspiracy Intelligence Unit estimates that the employee engagement sector is a $74.3 billion dollar market opportunity, asserting that engagement has become “the global CEO dashboard metric for the state of the workforce.” Growing evidence reveals how lower worker engagement affects overall company success, suggesting that engagement must be escalated to a board-level issue, given the impact on profitability, productivity, employee retention, and work culture.
Employee experience (EX)—an employee’s opinions about and associations with a company based on interacting with it—links to bottom-line corporate profits. Most businesses are aware of this, as relayed in the Deloitte Human Capital Trends Report, where it was disclosed that nearly half (48%) of businesses in all industries surveyed identified engagement as “very important.” What’s more, Deloitte found that EX is now rated as the fourth most important global trend for business leaders to address. Yet despite management’s growing recognition of the critical nature of EX, less than a quarter of companies (22%) reported excellence in building a differentiated EX.
*Gaining Momentum with New Customers in Construction, Healthcare, Hospitality and Manufacturing *

*The Retail Industry’ Employee Engagement Crisis*
Another key milestone in Q3 2018 includes the release of a new ebook, titled “The Retail Industry’s Employee Engagement Crisis—And How to Solve It.” The ebook outlines how the retail industry is evolving and why retail workers in particular are among the least engaged of all occupations – and why this is a crisis for the industry. It also discusses how better engagement leads to better retail bottom-line profit, the two-way nature of employee/employer engagement, the power of technology and how it can link the employee experience (EX) to the customer experience (CX) to deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction, and future insights into engaging workers, HR and internal communications.
*New Strategic Partnership*
StaffConnect and CorporateVIP, a premier rewards and incentives solutions provider, announced the two companies have entered into a strategic sales partnership. Under terms of the agreement, CorporateVIP offers the StaffConnect mobile employee engagement platform to its customers across Malta, Estonia, Serbia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), enhanced with direct access to its wide range of employee reward and incentive offerings.
“StaffConnect’s continued growth trajectory is a testament to the rising concern around the negative and damaging impact that a poorly engaged workforce has on both company culture and performance. Creating an emotionally connected organisation where the entire workforce is empowered to interact, share, and collaborate with their peers and managers—no matter what they do or where they work, is increasingly becoming a priority for forward-thinking, global enterprises that want to attract and retain the best available talent,” said Geraldine Osman, CMO, StaffConnect. “Our customers are the trailblazers in this area, the ones that realize that strong engagement levels with their employees is what makes the key difference between success and failure or between good and great. With StaffConnect’s mobile engagement platform, our customers are reaping the rewards of a rapid increase in workforce productivity, a decrease in attrition levels and improved customer satisfaction.”

PortalGuard Delivers Flexible Multi-Factor Vendor Integrations
PortalGuard v6.1 adds multiple vendor integrations in addition to their already extensive list of one-time code options
BEDFORD, N.H. (PRWEB) October 30, 2018
As a pioneer in Authentication, PistolStar, Inc.’s goal is to ensure its flagship product, PortalGuard, has the most up to date integrations available. PistolStar, Inc. is committed to being on the cutting edge of trends and guidelines in the authentication management industry and is excited to announce several Multi-Factor Authentication vendor integrations now available within the PortalGuard product. Vendor integrations now supported by PortalGuard include: Duo Security, FIDO, Google, RSA SecurID, VoiceIt, and Yubico.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) combines something you know, such as a password, with something you have or something you are, like a hardware token or voice print. Using this method allows an end-user to securely and safely access their accounts and minimizes the threat of a cyber-attack. Joining the list of MFA options that PortalGuard supports are several hardware tokens and biometric alternatives that all add an extra layer of security for the user.
Integrations with PortalGuard
PortalGuard now supports integration with Smart Cards. Used extensively by the military and federal government, PIV (aka CAC) cards utilize a cryptographic chip which contains a public/private keypair. The Smart Card is protected by a pin that releases the user’s identity to PortalGuard via a HTTPS negotiation leveraging standard Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
The FIDO standard introduced by the FIDO Alliance boasts founding members such as Google and Yubico. PortalGuard supports this cost-effective hardware token whether it be the Titan Security Key by Google or Yubico's own Security Key which works with popular browsers, websites and services.
PortalGuard now offers support for a biometrics-based multi-factor option utilizing the service provider VoiceIt. They are a cloud-based biometrics service where you record different phrases during a one-time enrollment and can subsequently be prompted to repeat them later as a second factor proof of "something you are".
First appearing in v5.8, PortalGuard integrates with the popular Duo Push App for existing Duo customers. This is a true "out of band" authentication option that offers best of breed usability and security. After providing the standard username and password, a notification is sent to users' smartphone via the Duo App, where verifying is as simple as tapping an “approve” button. There is no need to receive or re-type any one-time codes.
Gregg Browinski, Chief Technology Officer at PistolStar, on the benefits of enhancing the PortalGuard list of MFA options: "Multi-Factor Authentication has become crucial to securing organization's critical assets. We're excited to expand the options available in PortalGuard to include the latest biometric and hardware-based tokens, further establishing PortalGuard as a true integration nexus for use by organizations of all sizes. By maintaining this flexibility, we ensure our customers can utilize the proper combination of multi-factor implementations across their environment."
These new integrations join PortalGuard’s existing stable of MFA options which includes: Google Authenticator, HOTP HMAC tokens, Yubikey hardware tokens, RSA SecurID, the PortalGuard Mobile app, SMS OTP, Voice Call OTP, Email OTP, Help Desk Generated OTP, and printed codes.

Gary Atkins Announces the Release of ’Thank You, Lord’ to the Public
An autobiographical account of one man’s triumphant journey from homelessness and social condemnation
COOBER PEDY, Australia (PRWEB) October 30, 2018
In his debut book, author Gary Atkins looks back on his life, illuminating the path that led him to writing “Thank You, Lord” (published by Xlibris AU). Readers hopes to be inspired as he retells his triumph from homelessness and social condemnation. To purchase and learn more about the book, readers may visit https://www.amazon.com/Thank-You-Lord-Gary-Atkins/dp/1984501291.
“Thank You, Lord” is the story of a man who fought back, re-established relationships with his sons after his marriage failed, and the government took his children from him. In trying to cope as a father with three sons and as a husband whose wife had a chronic mental illness, Atkins reached the point when he could no longer continue as a folksinger to earn a good living and keep up with the mortgage payments. In 1981, his wife obtained custody of their sons and moved out. His land was sold leaving him homeless and destitute. It was only after a while that he began to seek legal action to get the right to see his sons.
Written in a candid tone, Atkins recounts how God and the Bible inspired him to fight for what he lost as he eventually reunites with his children and regains financial stability. “I thank the Lord that I was able to survive the experience of being a defendant in the Family Court of Australia, and that I was able to fight back and clear my name, and that I was able to recover from financial collapse and subsequently write this book,” he states.
Atkins hopes that by sharing his personal journey, readers will feel assured that having faith in God and inspiration from the Bible will enable victory in impossible situations.

About the Author
Gary Atkins was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1945 and brought up in a Methodist family. He completed high school, trained to be a teacher on a scholarship and then served the South Australian Education Department for four years as a teacher. He was married in 1971 and became a father of three sons. Following the birth of their first son, his wife was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. At that time, he began earning a living as a professional folksinger, songwriter and publisher, and after seven successful years, they were able to make a deposit on a 60-acre block of land in a rural area near Adelaide. However, things did not go smoothly and Atkins could no longer continue to earn a good living and keep up the mortgage payments. In 1980, he became a born-again Christian. In 1981, his wife obtained custody of their sons and moved out. The land was sold leaving him homeless. After many difficult years, he was successful in getting the legal right to see his sons, during which time he lived alone in the opal-mining town of Coober Pedy for 30 years, building an underground home by hand. He worked as dogcatcher, prospector, opal miner, driver and contractor’s offsider. He was also the editor/publisher of the local newspaper, Coober Pedy News, for three years. After 10 years, he reunites with his sons and at peace with his former wife. Atkins remarried in 2012. Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.

It was only after a while that he began to seek legal action to get the right to see his sons.
Written in a candid tone, Atkins recounts how God and the Bible inspired him to fight for what he lost as he eventually reunites with his children and regains financial stability. “I thank the Lord that I was able to survive the experience of being a defendant in the Family Court of Australia, and that I was able to fight back and clear my name, and that I was able to recover from financial collapse and subsequently write this book,” he states.
Atkins hopes that by sharing his personal journey, readers will feel assured that having faith in God and inspiration from the Bible will enable victory in impossible situations.
“Thank You, Lord”

About the Author
Gary Atkins was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1945 and brought up in a Methodist family. He completed high school, trained to be a teacher on a scholarship and then served the South Australian Education Department for four years as a teacher. He was married in 1971 and became a father of three sons. Following the birth of their first son, his wife was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. At that time, he began earning a living as a professional folksinger, songwriter and publisher, and after seven successful years, they were able to make a deposit on a 60-acre block of land in a rural area near Adelaide. However, things did not go smoothly and Atkins could no longer continue to earn a good living and keep up the mortgage payments. In 1980, he became a born-again Christian. In 1981, his wife obtained custody of their sons and moved out. The land was sold leaving him homeless. After many difficult years, he was successful in getting the legal right to see his sons, during which time he lived alone in the opal-mining town of Coober Pedy for 30 years, building an underground home by hand. He worked as dogcatcher, prospector, opal miner, driver and contractor’s offsider. He was also the editor/publisher of the local newspaper, Coober Pedy News, for three years. After 10 years, he reunites with his sons and at peace with his former wife. Atkins remarried in 2012. Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.
