General Assembly study finds role-specific AI training is the most effective approach for SMBs NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / Small-to-medium employers (SMBs) see their human talent as a key area of investment for the AI era and are seeing strong impact from role-specific AI training, according to new research from General Assembly, a global leader in practical AI skills training. Layoff and benefit reductions at larger companies have made it easier for SMBs to recruit and retain top talent, say 81% of human resources (HR) leaders at SMBs, while nearly half (47%) of SMBs have already hired from larger firms in the past year. "Growth-stage companies see AI adoption as a catalyst, not a cost-cutting exercise," said Daniele Grassi, CEO of General Assembly.

As talent sees daily headlines around layoffs and benefit reductions, they're increasingly

Support Week starts August 25. We've got your back. HONG KONG, HK / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / One size does not fit all. Yet most ergonomic chairs are still built around a standard frame, leaving taller, broader, and heavier users adapting to the chair instead of the chair adapting to them. LiberNovo is addressing that gap with the Maxis Series, the lead range for LiberNovo Support Week 2026, opening August 25 across the European Union and United Kingdom. Built for Bigger Builds Maxis was engineered at full scale, not adapted from a standard chair platform. A 52 cm seat depth provides greater thigh support, while a wider seat cushion gives users more room to shift naturally. Its reinforced frame supports up to 181 kg. Maxis also features a five-stage recline control system from 105° to 160°, supported by a Segmented Support System using progressive springs. This provides controlled, consistent support throughout the recline range, even under heavier loads. Three configuration
