Artificial Intelligence – Instead of a Hostess, You Have a Robot
We at RMG Staffing will continue to stay on top of the latest trends in the industry. A new wave of the future is coming and no, we’re not talking about 2018. We’re talking about artificial intelligence where computers don’t just perform mental tasks but also think for themselves. It’s called deep learning. It essentially involves feeding a computer system big data, which it then uses to make decisions about other data. This data is fed through neural networks. These networks, called logical constructions ask a series of binary true/false questions, extract a numerical value, of every bit of data which pass through them, and then classify it according to the answers received. IBM’s Watson computer is a perfect example of deep learning artificial intelligence. Watson even appeared and competed against contestants in Jeopardy. The idea for IBM’s Watson had been in existence since the late 1970s and as we head towards 2018 and beyond the capabilities of artificial intelligence will surpass our wildest imagination. This past October the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology hosted The ICAICS 2017: 19th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. The conference brought together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of artificial intelligence and cognitive science. It also provided a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science.One of the conference’s most appealing segment consisted of a talk and paper presented by Lipeng Zhang, Limei Li, and Yanming Pearl Zhang. Titled “Using Information Theory to Observe Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence,” they talked about Pepper, a friendly humanoid robot that uses deep learning to act and think for itself. “Pepper is the first humanoid robot capable of recognizing the principal human emotions and adapting his behavior to the mood of his interlocutor,” SoftBank Group Corp stated, a Japanese multinational telecommunications corporation. “To date, more than 140 SoftBank Mobile stores in Japan are using Pepper as a new way of welcoming, informing and amusing customers. Pepper also recently became the first humanoid robot to be adopted in Japanese homes.” Pepper had also made an appearance at Oakland International Airport. The 4-foot-tall human-shaped robot was hired by Pyramid Ale Taproom in Terminal 2 to drum up business, offer menu advice, give directions and be a charming addition to the dining experience. And during October of 2016, another company brought similar humanoid robots to the San Jose International Airport in San Jose, California. Named Norma, Amelia, and Piper, the three gave travelers airport directions, danced and even took the time to take selfies. Softbank recently announced that it’s highly advanced AI-powered NAO robot is being used by Hilton Hotels across the U.S. as a concierge. In a partnership with IBM’s Watson program, the robots are called “Connie,” and named after Hilton Conrad Hilton. “Connie isn’t simply a NAO robot with some basic programming added. Hilton’s version is powered by Watson software, which enhances its natural language processing so Connie can better understand human speech. It was also designed to improve over time and the more it interacts with people, by storing every question guests ask for future reference. Besides answering inquiries about the hotel, Connie will also be able to recommend tourist spots, restaurants, and other destinations, since it has access to WayBlazer’s travel platform,” Softbank revealed in a press release. These deep learning and artificial intelligence initiatives are taking the businesses and hospitality industry by storm. The humanoid robots will eventually replace kiosks and dramatically improve businesses’ customer service. Will they completely replace humans? Only time will tell.
A Coach For Life
It’s that time of the year again. The time we send the year off with a bang by partying until, well you know, like Prince said. “Like its 1999.” But besides the partying, another thing we usually do around this time of the year reflects and looks back on the good, the bad and the in-between of the previous year. It’s time to think, write down and begin to commit to New Year’s Resolutions. Some of the most popular resolutions tend to be losing weight, stop smoking, career advancement, saving for or buying a new house. Research has shown that about half of all adults make New Year’s resolutions. However, fewer than 10% manage to keep them for more than a few months.The main reason why people don’t stick to resolutions is that they set too many goals or they’re unrealistic to achieve. They may also be victims of “false hope syndrome”. False hope syndrome is characterized by a person’s unrealistic expectations about the likely speed, amount, ease and consequences of changing their behavior. “’New Year’s resolution’ is kind of this buzzword that can make people crazy,” said Dr. Stephen Graef, a sports psychologist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center revealed to CBS News. “Most people have a toxic relationship with the term. So from the beginning we set ourselves up for failure because we know that anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of people are going to ultimately get off their path of resolution.”In order to be successful in accomplishing New Year’s resolution run must be proactive throughout the entire year. New Year’s resolutions should be a daily task throughout the 365 days of the year and one of the best ways to accomplishing daily goals is to have a life coach. If LeBron James needed a coach on his route to winning a national championship, we all should obtain a life coach in our own route to being successful in life. 7 Reasons Why You Need a Life Coach 1. Makes You More Accountable.2. Saves You Time And Gets You Efficient Results.3. Saves You Money.4. Saves You Stress, Pain And Frustration.5. Gives You Ideas You Never Thought Of.6. Gives You Insights Into Yourself.7. Gives You A Stronger Sense Of Belief And Self-Confidence.But despite the obvious benefits of obtaining a life coach, some still frown at the idea. But really, life coaches, at least the good ones, give you a a great workout for your brain; they know that we are only going to listen to ourselves, because ultimately we’re all a little clueless about our own miraculous epiphany to change anything about our comfortable but unhappy lives. “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it,” is a wise and famous quote from author Charles R. Swindoll. It’s also the same quote Andreina Pradas who runs the Inhance Company located in Miami uses in coaching her clients through the highs and lows. She is described as the “Happiness Ambassador, Coach, Transformer of consciousness and Creator of the 3 Steps to the Profit through Happiness.” A life coach for SBE and Shore Club Hotels, Andreina has also helped our employees at RMG Staffing. To paraphrase RMG Staffing CEO Ricardo Michelangeli, Andreina provides the mentorship and the coaching in our daily pursuit of happiness. The end of the year is upon us. Start thinking about your New Year’s resolution. Write them down. 2018 is set to be an awesome year and one can certainly obtain goals and be happy with the aid of a life coach.Connect with Andreina Pradas.
Staffing Industry Economic Forecast for 2018
The world’s population rose to 7.5 billion in 2017, and as we reach closer to the end of the year, a few more thousand people will be born, and as the global population continues to rise, the more consumers will demand, and the more businesses will be pressured to supply products and services. According to the most recent forecast released at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on December 13, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will rise to 2.5% in 2018, similar to the percentage growth of 2017 and in comparison to the 2.1% growth in 2016. But they are also saying that the increase in GDP will drop to 2.1% in 2019 and 2.0% by 2020. Unemployment rates will drop to 3.9% in 2018 and 2019, but rise to 4.0% by 2020, which is an improvement compared to the 4.1% rate in 2017, and the 4.7% rate in 2016. During the meeting, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen revealed that a lot of workers are part-time and would prefer full-time work. The forecast shows that most job growth is in low-paying retail and food service industries. “Moreover, the economic expansion is increasingly broad-based across sectors as well as across much of the global economy,” Yellen stated in her annual address to the U.S. Congress. “I expect that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, the economy will continue to expand, and the job market will strengthen somewhat further, supporting faster growth in wages and incomes.”Inflation will be 1.9% in 2018 and rise to 2.0% by 2019. We had 1.7% increase in inflation in 2017 and yet these rates were lower than the 2.1% rate in 2016 compared to the 0.7 percent inflation experienced in 2015. The low rates in the previous years were caused by declining oil prices. U.S. manufacturing is forecast to increase faster than the general economy. Production will grow by 2.8% in 2018 and yet growth will slow to 2.6% in 2019 and 2% in 2020.As for our Florida economy, we are expected to surpass the national growth rate. The housing and construction sector is expected to see the fastest growth, with an expected annual average rate of growth of 5.2%, followed by professional and business services growing at 4.5% annually. In addition, Florida economists predict wages to grow by 3.7% year-over-year. “In the South Florida metropolitan area, construction, wholesale trade and education and health services were the fastest growing sectors year over year, and education and health services also added the most jobs, 18,000. After a rough September, leisure and hospitality gains were solid for the month and year over year,” The Miami Herald reported. With this positive outlook for both the national and Florida economy, we can honestly say the best is yet to come, especially for the hospitality industry. Miami Music Week 2018 is just around the corner. Hotels and restaurants are getting prepared. The economic effects of Ultra Music Festival to the surrounding businesses will be gigantic and will assist in pushing South Florida’s hospitality sector throughout the rest of 2018. Despite what 2018 and beyond brings, we at RMG Staffing is fully equipped to continue to provide our current and future clients with the best human resource in the industry.
Holiday Events in Miami

Staffing Employment Keeps Rising
The staffing industry is now at an all-time high. In 2016, it was reported that close to 16 million American workers held positions as a temp or contractor for a staffing agency. These positions brought in $120 billion in revenue, $13 billion more than what Amazon profited last year. “The staffing industry used to be mostly light industrial and clerical,” states Sarah Gardner of MarketPlace.org. “Think Kelly Girls, those white-gloved office workers who typed fast and filled in when the boss’ secretary went on vacation. Now, temps are everywhere, and more of them are working in high-wage, high-skill jobs. Temps can be chief financial officers, engineers, and doctors. Healthcare and IT have been among the fastest-growing categories.” The staffing industry’s high growth shows significant increases in the hotel and hospitality sector. “During the last several months, the number of people coming into Miami hasn’t grown as much as it used to, but even in January of 2017 we had 1.1% more visitors than we had in January of 2016,” said Rolando Aedo, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau told Miami Today News. The next highest increases in RevPAR were reported in Washington, D.C.-Maryland-Virginia (+5.0% to US$113.49); Miami/Hialeah, Florida (+4.6% to $128.68); and San Diego, California (+4.3% to $178.33). Revenue per available room (RevPAR) is a performance metric used in the hotel industry and is calculated by multiplying a hotel’s average daily room rate (ADR) by its occupancy rate. It may also be calculated by dividing a hotel’s total room revenue by the total number of available rooms in the period being measured. The staffing industry is very dependent on tourists. When they book vacations or business trips, hotels then increase their staffs, which is where we, RMG Staffing comes in, supplying the demand. U.S. Department of Commerce: “From a business perspective, temporary workers offer flexibility and possibly savings relative to hiring workers directly onto company payrolls. Temporary workers allow firms to use labor for shorter periods of time without a long-term commitment and without the cost of offering benefits, such as paid leave, health insurance, or a retirement plan. Temp workers also free businesses from the high costs of hiring and firing workers. Part-time workers offer companies some, but not all, of these potential savings and flexibility. From the workers’ perspective, temporary work might be attractive for people seeking a better work-life balance, more flexible hours, higher job mobility, or the opportunity to experience work in different industries.” The holiday season is upon us. 2017 is about to end. If the previous months are any indication of what lies ahead, the staffing industry should see an explosive end of the year bang. And just we have been there throughout the years; RMG Staffing will continue to grow and will continue to provide our clients with great services.

Neff and Shawn Poole, and “Risk Management Best Practices to Increase Market Recognition and Profits”. Notable keynote speakers included Josh Linkner who founded interactive promotion agency ePrize, Chief Marketing Officer of Airbnb Jonathan Mildenhall and legendary rock musician Mark Schulman, who gave an eloquent and inspiring speech titled, “Conquering Life’s Stage Fright: Three Steps to Top Performance”. “Being new to the staffing industry, I felt that my experience was amazing,” past attendee Melissa Kwiatkowski stated about the benefits of attending the event. “I was able to network with individuals who have been in the field for quite some time that was able to bring about new ideas and concepts to the business that I am part of. I also received much-needed knowledge about various topics that I will be able to utilize and share with my team. I had a great time.” As participants in the event, we at RMG Staffing agree that Staffing Industry World 2017 is a wonderful extravaganza every industry professional should attend.

And if you’re unemployed and short on cash, the ordeal in applying for a job, going through the interview process and waiting for a reply from a prospective employer could leave you distraught. Also, hotels and restaurants have had their own battle in building their staff. It’s a never ending battle for both employers and prospective employees to line up in the perfect match. To help improve this alignment one of the things that needs to be done is to increase the awareness. Prospective employees need to know where are the best jobs in the hospitality industry, how much they pay and what are the required duties and responsibilities.

RMG Staffing Joins Efforts with Lupus Foundation of America to Raise Awareness
RMG Staffing Joined Efforts with Lupus Foundation of America Bring Awareness Selena Gomez, Nick Cannon, and Lady Gaga are three celebrities that have openly admitted they suffer from lupus. The late Michael Jackson suffered from the disease and even Beethoven was suspected to have had the disorder that affects the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Although there isn’t a known cure if symptoms are ignored, those with Lupus could ultimately suffer from an untimely death. Though mostly diagnosed in young women between the ages of 15 to 44, lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack healthy cells. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans, and at least five million people worldwide, have a form of lupus. As previously stated, there are no known cures for lupus. Current treatments focus on improving quality of one’s life by controlling symptoms and minimizing flare-ups. Medications, lifestyle modifications, protection from the sun and maintaining one’s diet helps manage lupus. Anti-inflammatories and steroids also help. On November 04, the Florida branch of the Lupus Foundation will hold their annual Walk to End Lupus Now™ at Marlins Park. Presented by Bacardi, thousands are expected to participate in raising money for research, awareness and rally for the estimated 1.5 million Americans and millions more worldwide who are afflicted with lupus. “As a Walk Manager for the Lupus Foundation of America’s Walk to End Lupus Now,” Sara Bentley stated through the foundation’s website, “I have the opportunity to meet so many inspiring people who are affected by this cruel and mysterious disease. Everyone’s story is different, but they are all working toward a common goal: to raise funding and awareness for lupus research and education.” There are various Walk to End Lupus events happening all over the country. The Miami run is one of the biggest in the nation. Last year helped raised thousands of dollars. With your help, the foundation could reached a million dollars. “Lupus has negatively impacted far too many families in South Florida. I’m proud to [have served] as Grand Marshal for the Walk to End Lupus Now Miami event benefitting the Lupus Foundation of America’s Florida Chapter so that we can raise awareness of this terrible disease and ensure organizations have the necessary funds to further research Lupus,” U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen stated through a press release about her previous involvement with the foundation. “It is my hope that one day, no one will have to endure a life with Lupus.” In addition to the Walk to End Lupus Now™, one of the many ways to help awareness of lupus is by raising funds for the foundation. RMG Staffing has joined forces with the Florida branch of the Lupus Foundation of America. We are extremely happy to announce that we are organizing an online campaign to help raise funds for the foundation. To donate, all you have to do is logon to our online fundraiser https://www.gofundme.com/end-lupus-now and you’ll be directed to a portal where you could help us find a cure and bring awareness to lupus.
