Natick, MA, February 07, 2023 – According to a January 2023 survey of 200 AE firm executives conducted by management consulting firm, Morrissey Goodale, 70% of the AE firm respondents are anticipating that 2023 will be “an even better year than 2022,” which was a record year for many AE industry firms across the country.

In the survey, 77% of respondents say talent acquisition and retention is the primary constraint on performance. As a result, AE firms expect they will continue to increase salary compensation. Respondents did reveal that bonuses may not increase at the same rate as they did in 2022.

Other AE firm survey respondent highlights include:

AE Firms Plan Salary Budget Increases for 2023:

• · Over half (55%) of respondents plan salary increases of between 6% to 9%.
• · Forty-one percent of firms are budgeting raises of between 1% to 5%.
• · Three percent of firms plan on salary increases of 10% or more.
• · Architecture and AE firms are planning for lighter raises in the 1% to 5% range than their Engineering and EA peers who are budgeting 6% to 9%.
• · A greater percentage of firms with 1,000 employees or more are budgeting in the 1% to 5% range, compared with their smaller peers.
• · Surveying/Mapping firms anticipate a 6% to 9% increase raise in raises this year.

AE Firms Predict 2023 Bonus Environment to be Same as 2022:

• · Nearly half (48%) percent of respondents anticipate that bonuses will be about the same in 2023 as they were in 2022.
• · Ten percent of respondents expect their payout for bonuses to be lower.
• · Forty-two percent anticipate spending more on bonuses in 2023 compared with 2022.

“The AE industry continues to navigate unprecedented change at the intersection of four generational trends – not enough talent to meet demand, a great and on-going recapitalization, rapid technological advances, and massive public sector demand for services,” says Mick Morrissey, managing principal at Morrissey Goodale. “The winners will be those firms that make the investments needed now to secure the talent to meet short-term production needs and longer-term leadership development and firm transition initiatives.”

Portland, OR, February 7, 2023 –— Nova USA Wood Products, Inc., a leading supplier of high-quality wood products and accessories, has been named the exclusive provider of Rhino Wood in North America. Rhino Wood is a modified timber produced through a patented two-stage process that uses thermal modification and pressure to impregnate the original wood right to the core with a proprietary compound. This patented process results in the perfect sustainable alternative to hardwoods like Ipe. Rhino Wood achieves the same high-density, low-maintenance, and Class 1 durability characteristics as Ipe hardwood while aging beautifully into a silver-grey color over time.

“Rhino Wood is the ideal complement to our premium line of exotic hardwood decking and siding products,” said Steve Getsiv, the company’s CEO. “Many of the hardwoods that were previously used throughout the marketplace are now either scarce or prohibitively expensive. Rhino Wood is the latest example of our efforts to meet customer needs with high-quality woods that will stand the test of time with beauty and great structural integrity.”

“Nova USA Wood Products offered everything we wanted in a U.S. partner,” added Steven Suntup, Rhino Wood’s U.S. representative. “They have an extensive distribution network that extends from the U.S. into Mexico and Canada. Plus, they know the true value of innovation and the need to continually meet client needs with premium products that look great and perform exceptionally well no matter the climate. This includes providing a large variety of cost-effective alternatives to the hardwoods that are increasingly becoming cost-prohibitive and less available.”

Rhino Wood’s patented thermal heat and pressure impregnation process was specifically developed to double the hardness and density of sustainably-sourced South African Pine species. Durable and stable, Rhino Wood is the ideal choice for outdoor applications with products including decking, fencing, and siding, as well as posts, laminated beams, and custom patterns such as beaded ceilings and T&G porch flooring. Rhino Wood will be offered in patterns that fit perfectly with Nova’s patented line of hidden decking clips and rain screen siding clips.

In addition to being biodegradable and containing zero toxins and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Rhino Wood can also be disposed of like any other untreated wood. Other advantages include the ability to resist dents, scratches, surface damage, moisture, swelling, shrinkage, insects, UV degradation, rot, and decay.

Rhino Wood will be available from Nova USA Wood Products in early 2023. For more information, please visit www.novausawood.com or call 503-419-6407.

About Nova USA Wood Products
Launched in 2005, Nova is dedicated to the supply of superior, high-quality wood products and accessories available at the most competitive prices in today’s marketplace.

Wilmington, DE, February 07, 2023 —- CloudLIMS, a leading provider of laboratory informatics, today published a free, open-access eBook titled “A Comprehensive Guide to Regulatory Compliance for Biobanks.”

Biobanks are responsible for maintaining high-quality, fit-for-purpose samples for use in research. They perform several functions including sample acquisition, preparation, storage, analysis, testing, and distribution. In addition to preserving the integrity of biospecimens throughout their lifecycle, biobanks are also expected to safeguard the Protected Health Information (PHI) of donors, manage donor consent, and ensure collected biospecimens are only used for the intended purpose. Since they handle sensitive biological materials and their associated data, national and international standards and regulatory compliance have been set to guide and govern them.

This eBook provides in-depth guidance on regulatory compliance for biobanks, be it any size. Regulations covered in the eBook include HIPAA, ISO 20387, 21 CFR Part 11, EU GDPR, ISBER & NCI Best Practices. It also delineates laws pertaining to the use of biosamples, data protection, and clinical trials in the EU, Finland, the UK, France, Germany, China, Brazil, and India. Finally, the eBook sheds light on how a LIMS can help biobanks meet compliance goals and follow quality standards with ease.

What is included in the eBook:

– The importance of regulatory compliance for biobanks
– Types of biobanks
– Regulatory requirements for biobanks such as GDPR, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 20387:2018, ISBER & NCI Best Practices
– The regulatory framework of biobanks worldwide
– How can a LIMS help biobanks meet compliance needs?
– How to select the right LIMS for your biobank?
– Why cloud-based LIMS for biobanks?
– How can digital solutions transform biobanking?

Download: https://cloudlims.com/cloudlims-publishes-a-complimentary-ebook-on-regulatory-compliance-for-biobanks/

“This eBook provides a 360-degree overview of biobanking regulatory requirements,” said Arun Apte, CEO at CloudLIMS. “The guide doesn’t offer simple generalizations but carefully and exhaustively delineates regulations governing the biobanking industry and what it takes to comply with them. Anyone can download this online book for free,” he continued.

About the Author
Tony has been writing for most of his life, from editing a group of newspapers to copywriting and creating speeches and scripts for global company videos and conferences.

His news and research instincts, combined with his interests in emerging technologies and new media, create the essence of his books which, although fictional, have a core of fact and real-life occurrences running through them.
Max’s deep fake revenge is his debut as an author. It involves the power of social media and technology, especially deep fake, and how it can be manipulated for crime and revenge. And in Tony’s books, revenge is served with compelling extra heat.

Tony lives in Wiltshire with Sarah, his beloved wife, and inspiration.
