-The 3rd Eye is a female, minority owned independent agency, with an understanding that the balance of work and family is paramount. As such, the agency has just announced a new benefit: “Grandparents Leave,” aimed at redefining workplace support for families by offering new grandparents two weeks of leave/flex work time, in order to spend valuable family time. The agency noticed a gap in support for new grandparents, particularly in an industry where ageism is prevalent. After a conversation with one of its team members who recently became a grandmother, it became evident that they needed to formalize a solution that empowers employees to prioritize family without compromising their professional responsibilities. The benefit includes one week of paid time off, and a second week of flexible “work from anywhere” time.
-Since the beginning of 2024, reports of anti-Semitism have increased by 263% compared to last year, according to the Jewish Federation of Brazil. Due to recent conflicts and the vocalization of speeches by artists against the Jewish people, intolerance is increasingly growing. To curb this wave of hate, StandWithUs Brazil, a non-profit educational institution about Israel, in partnership with VML Brazil, has launched the campaign “Yeermulke: Drop anti-Semitism.” The name of the initiative comes from the contraction of two words: yarmulke, a Yiddish expression referring to the kippah; and Yeezy, the name of a sneaker line signed by Kanye West, who, by expressing anti-Semitic comments, ended up having his partnership with a major sports product manufacturer terminated. The limited collection was distributed among personalities who stand against anti-Semitism like Daniel Zukerman, Claudio Lottenberg, Mauricio Schwartz, Rabbi Pessach Kauffman, and Ronny Kriwat.
