OSM Named "Great Place to Work" for the Fifth Consecutive Year

OSM Worldwide, the fifth-largest nationwide eCommerce and direct-to-consumer (DTC) parcel shipper, today announced the company has been named an official "Great Place to Work" organization for the fifth consecutive year. This annual award, considered to be "the global authority on workplace culture," recognizes organizations that stand apart from their peers in creating a workplace that goes above and beyond for their employees.

"We take tremendous pride in creating a work environment that attracts great people to our organization and keeps them here. This prestigious award is an excellent reflection of our collective efforts," said Eric Hermonson, vice president of human resources at OSM Worldwide. "At our organization's core, we value our people over our business results. Having won this certification for five consecutive years, we understand the value this designation brings. We are especially proud of this year's award because, over the past 12 months, we have added 52% more employees to our workforce while carefully ensuring our company culture remains intact."


In order to apply for recognition, companies must provide a detailed employer statement about company culture and background on people practices in the workplace, then submit it for staff members to complete engagement surveys. In total, 93 percent of OSM Worldwide employees surveyed said it is a great place to work, citing being treated fairly and having pride in their work as the top ranked reasons why.

"At the heart of this award is our people. They make this possible," said Gaston Curk, CEO at OSM Worldwide. "Recognitions like this demonstrate our commitment to our team, and for that, we're appreciative."

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
