Successful rewards can engage, inspire and develop relationships. See how Hinda helps you build those bridges from start to finish with our teams that manage personalized reward selection, award fulfillment, customer service and program analytics.
Every program needs the right awards to engage and inspire their participants. But looking at any group only as a generation is far too broad to build a compelling award mix. A generation is born and raised in a given time and experiences a unique set of circumstances which shapes the generational culture, attitudes and outlook. Generational influences can be very important in understanding the best ways to communicate, but other factors may be more important in determining the right awards to inspire them.
Life stage is a vital consideration in predicting award preferences. Life stage looks at the different phases in life: single, married, parent of young adult children, empty nester. People at the same life stage generally have far more in common with one another than those simply of the same age or whose incomes are similar. That makes life stage a powerful and relevant indicator of reward preferences. Every program needs the right awards to engage and inspire their participants.
By keeping our finger on the pulse of industry trends, Hinda is able to offer you an unrivaled assortment of the top-quality, brand-name merchandise that people really want.

Now, your favourite Pune restaurant can flaunt its ‘stars’, as 350 eateries opt for FDA’s hygiene rating system | pune news | Hindustan Times
Restaurants will receive their certification under the star-based ‘hygiene rating’ system. To earn the certificate, any restaurant can fill a form on the FDA website and open themselves to a detailed hygiene assessment. The audit report will be submitted to FSSAI, Delhi, to generate a score in terms of ‘bad,’ ‘good,’ ‘very good,’ or ’excellent.’ The score will be displayed on the door of restaurants.
You can now walk into the kitchen of your favourite restaurants and check out their hygiene standards. More than 350 restaurants have opened themselves for a detailed hygiene assessment, two months after the food and drug administration (FDA), Pune, in association with the food safety and standards authority of India (FSSAI), decided to issue hygiene rating certificates to hotels and restaurants in the city.
Of the 350 restaurants in the city, 10 eateries have managed to get hygiene certificates which have ranked them either “good” or “very good”. The ‘score on door’ project is a way to increase transparency between food industry and its customers.
According to assistant commissioner (food) of FDA, Pune, Sampat Deshmukh, FDA launched this initiative on June 7, which was celebrated as world food safety day. Once the restaurant fills up form for assessment, the FDA assess the place based on multiple parameters including cleanliness, food quality, and overall hygiene.
"Under the ‘score on door’ initiative we have initiated the process of hygiene rating to around 1,000 restaurants in the city. Actually this rating is not mandatory at all. However, we have given a target to our inspectors to bring restaurants under this rating system," said SS Desai, joint commissioner, FDA, Pune division.
Officers informed that the hygiene rating should be based on the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 guidelines. Restaurants which will secure higher rank in this rating system will be declared as, ‘Top Place To Eat’ in the city.
Under this hygiene rating system, individual restaurant owners should apply to the FDA for this rating certificate. Then, the FDA inspector would visit the restaurant and verify the hygiene and cleanliness standards maintained in the kitchen and on the hotel premises. The food inspector would inspect the restaurant under parameters like cleanliness in kitchen, raw material used, expiry date of food material used, cleanliness in store room, health condition of workers, drinking water used, complaint management, fire safety audit, preservatives used and disposal of surplus food.
However, the Pune restaurants and hoteliers association (PRAHA) is not happy with this initiative.They are alleging that this rating system will entitle arbitrary powers to food inspectors.
President of PRAHA,Ganesh Shetty, said,"Yes, hygiene rating is not mandatory, but such initiatives will entitle arbitrary powers to food inspectors. While applying for the FDA licence, we have already cleared these criterias, then, why should we do the same things again. This is against of the ease of doing business initiative of the central government."
Shetty also said that FDA startedthe hygiene rating system for hotels and restaurants only. Then, what about 10,000 small eateries in the city? They are also in the business of food preparation.Such hygiene rating systems will definitely influence the decision making process of customers. It will also help improve competition between restaurant owners, added Shetty.
Customers can themselves share their views directly with officials through the FDA website which is being developed as an interactive platform.
China is to invest up to 4 trillion yuan ($600 billion) over the next decade to overcome a huge water shortage that threatens the country’s economic growth a senior official said on Wednesday.
The vice minister of water resources said China’s unbridled economic growth had left up to 40% of its rivers badly polluted and the country faced “huge pressures” on supplies of water.
"Industrialisation and urbanisation including ensuring grain and food security are exerting higher demands on water supplies... while our water use remains crude and wasteful", Jiao Yong said at a press briefing.Over 46,000 reservoirs in China need to be rebuilt or reinforced to ensure constant water supply, he said.
On November 9, 2010 the EEOC issued its Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) related regulations. 29 C.F.R. Part 1635. These regulations became effective on January 10, 2011. Id., at Summary. The EEOC acted pursuant to its authority granted by 42 U.S.C. §2000ff. The agency clarified the purpose for its regulations implementing Title II of GINA, found at 42 U.S.C. §2000ff et. sec., known as Title II of GINA, which is to implement the prohibition against the use of genetic data in employment decision making. 29 C.F.R. §1635.1(a)(1). The intent behind GINA is also to restrict employers and other entities subject to Title II of GINA from requesting, requiring or purchasing genetic data. 29 C.F.R. §1635.1(a)(2). Further, the regulations require that covered entities store genetic data as a confidential medical record and comply with strict limits on disclosure of such data. 29 C.F.R.§1635.1(a)(3). The regulations also clarify that GINA provides remedies for individuals whose genetic data is acquired, used, or disclosed in violation of the Act’s protections. 29 C.F.R. §1635.1(a)(4).
There are exceptions to the scope and coverage of the EEOC’s GINA regulations. They do not apply to covered entities to the extent the actions at issue do not relate to the status of an individual as an employee, member of a labor organization or participant in an apprenticeship program. 29 C.F.R. §1635.1(b). ..... [A]lcohol and drug testing falls outside of GINA [when] solely detecting the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs. 29 C.F.R. §1635.3(f)(4)(i). A test, however, to find whether an individual has a genetic predisposition for drug use or alcoholism does constitute a genetic test covered by the GINA regulations. 29 C.F.R. §1635.3(f)(4)(ii).

the genetic information of a fetus carried by an individual or by a pregnant woman who is a family member of the individual and
the genetic information of any embryo legally held by the individual or family member using an assisted reproductive technology.
The GINA amendments to ERISA and the Civil Rights Act, along with the recently promulgated EEOC regulations under Title II of GINA, do not stop there.
