Neeyamo announces Season 2 of Working Beyond Borders
The final pitstop of season 1 of Neeyamo's Working Beyond Borders took place in Singapore on August

Neeyamo is delighted to announce the second season of Working Beyond Borders with a spotlight on the impact of Employer of Record (EOR) on the future of work. This follows the successful completion of season 1 of Working Beyond Borders with its fifth and final pitstop in Singapore on Aug. 4. 

Working Beyond Borders is an invite-only event designed to promote networking and collaboration among the brightest minds in the HR, global payroll, and the EOR industry. WBB season 1 was hosted across London, Milan, Manila, and Buenos Aires before the Singapore pitstop to ignite discussions about managing a global workforce and to provide in-depth insights into the rapidly changing payroll landscape.

Businesses today are undergoing a transformational shift. Global expansion is a common thread among successful organizations. However, handling payroll for a global workforce presents unforeseen challenges. With their legacy technologies and processes, organizations often struggle to cope with daily demands.

The Singapore pitstop addressed these unforeseen challenges, including a session on "Key global trends impacting payroll and HR that transform the modern-day workplace" that sparked enthusiastic conversations. Of interest were topics on the desire for a more diverse workforce, the introduction of next-gen technology in global payroll, and the demand for a cloud-based payroll solution that led to a shift in HR professionals' working habits and skillsets. 

Rangarajan Seshadri, CEO, Neeyamo, said, "Standardization in HR processes and payroll is often a challenge for many businesses due to varying compliance requirements and the lack of an integrated tech ecosystem. Neeyamo believes that through season 1 of Working Beyond Borders, we created an opportunity for companies to learn, unlearn and re-learn the future of HR and global payroll. With the focus on EOR in season 2, the emphasis will be on helping companies access talent globally and navigate the future of work."

ACORNS, By Peter Lake
Single Album Art

In his newly released single called ACORNS, Peter Lake attempts to give a voice to the sign of the times. Without forcing a judgment on a range of topics from the stock market to fossil fuels, Lake summarizes the range of topics that seem to define the times, and which he feels should be cataloged for our "collective memory." Lake suggests that history is often forgotten, but music can be a special tool that helps us remember. Mr. Lake's decision to release the song, merely weeks after two successive singles, reflects his desire to write about contemporary issues as they are happening, a practice he urges other musicians to follow.

Says Lake:

"ACORNS is all about how times change, and how this is neither good nor bad, but just the way of the world. I hear about recession and everything getting expensive. I don't know if these things are true or lasting. I don't even really know what recession means! But there is a vibe that things aren't going well, and we need to get ready for something, and the song tries to get at the new vibe."

Lake goes on, explaining celebrity culture has made music a means of becoming famous. Lake notes that a hundred years ago, it would be "crazy" to go into music for money. "I think music should return to what it was originally, songs that are stories and songs that are about history, current events and the human condition. And most importantly, songs that could be sung in communities and that stand apart from whoever wrote them."

ACORNS is now available globally wherever music is streamed. To learn more about the music of Peter Lake, please visit his social media. @peterlakemusic

Artist Biography:

Peter Lake is a Canadian-born, New York City-based singer-songwriter who revels in anonymity. In an age where privacy is rare, Peter is convinced that his ability to create music is protected by his anonymity, and by working with unconventional partners in an attempt to avoid the constraints of traditional record deals, which often consider recorded music as a means to promote tours.

Peter is the first of a kind: an artist who will only do live concerts via a web-based platform, thereby freeing him to focus exclusively on writing and recording new, original music that crosses all genres. In the process, Peter has assembled one of the largest singer-songwriter catalogs in the industry. His musical influences include Neil Young, Max Martin, David Bowie, Motown, and Drake.

It's no surprise that his songs are hard to place, often flying between (and combining) House beats, crunchy guitar riffs and "traditional chants and natural sounds."

From what we learned in our conversations with the artist, humility does not come naturally. On the other hand, it's hard to consider his views as arrogant, given the intense sincerity with which he describes his plans. When asked about his goal, he replied as follows:

"My goal is to wake up every day and make music, and one day through that process, write and perform what will later be seen as the greatest song in history, a song that will define humankind for centuries."
