Policy and Training solutions are maximized within a powerful ecosystem that empowers teams, supports retention and maximizes ROI.

IRVING, Texas, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Grace Hill, the innovator of talent and performance management solutions for commercial and multifamily real estate, today announced PerformanceHQ, their new technology platform. PerformanceHQ provides customers with one centralized technology platform that offers a streamlined user experience and new insights, promoting a cycle of performance improvement. It also includes access to Gracie, a new AI chatbot that delivers quick, clear responses to any policy-related question.

Grace Hill’s Policies and Training are the first solutions available in the new platform, with Surveys and Mystery Shopping coming later this year. Accessing training and policies through PerformanceHQ provides operators with enhanced user management, automated assignments, secure acknowledgments, and visual dashboards that maximize employee efficiency, development, and compliance. Plus, the new Gracie AI chatbot can provide a unified answer from multiple policy sources, saving users time and avoiding frustration.

“Employee turnover continues to impact our industry,” said Kendall Pretzer, CEO of Grace Hill. “Today’s workforce requires enhanced resources and technology at their fingertips to be efficient. Quick access to current policies and courses provides a foundation for superior work performance, advancement, and ultimately fosters retention. PerformanceHQ delivers our trusted content with enhanced capabilities that drive people and property performance.”

For multifamily operators, the turnover rate is roughly 33% per year, 11% above the national average. With an average cost per hire of $4,700, a company with 100 employees could spend more than $150K annually on employee hiring costs. Data shows that 76% of employees are more likely to stay with a company that offers continuous training, so providing ongoing development is critical to retention. 

Technology enhancements available in PerformanceHQ include new rule-based assignments based on property type, location, or expectation of the position. This feature ensures employees receive policies and training that are relevant and specific to their needs. Other enhancements include new compliance tracking dashboards that highlight policy and training performance for specific properties, positions, or individuals. Personalized employee dashboards now offer a single view of required, recommended, and even “favorite” training and policies.

“PerformanceHQ is designed so that all solutions will work together seamlessly,” says Julia Crawford, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Grace Hill. “By integrating key functionality across solutions and leveraging our Gracie AI chatbot, customers can empower their teams and maximize the return on their technology investment.”

Policies in PerformanceHQ debuted in April of 2024 as the first solution on the new platform. As more Grace Hill solutions are added to PerformanceHQ, customers will have one centralized technology platform that offers a streamlined user experience and additional insights, promoting a cycle of performance improvement.

Dinto Solar Earns Thailand’s First Mandatory TISI Certification for HJT PV Module Makers

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dinto Solar, a global pioneer in heterojunction (HJT) technology, has earned mandatory certification from the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) for its solar modules. The company is among the first photovoltaic (PV) module makers worldwide to qualify under Thailand’s new requirements and the first dedicated HJT module maker to receive the certification.

Thailand’s compulsory safety requirements for crystalline silicon PV modules took effect on October 30, 2026. Modules imported for sale must comply with the applicable Thai standard and be covered by a TISI license. The approval strengthens Dinto Solar’s readiness to serve local customers as regulatory compliance becomes essential to market access.

Certification was granted under TIS 61730 Part 2-2567, aligned with IEC 61730-2:2023, covering electrical insulation, fire safety and mechanical strength. TISI auditors inspected Dinto Solar’s manufacturing facilities in Longgang and Suining, China, reviewing quality management, production controls, supply chains and traceability. The company’s modules, developed and manufactured in-house, passed the assessment on the first application.

The certified portfolio spans 33 power ratings from 455 W to 770 W, supporting residential rooftops, commercial and industrial (C&I) installations and utility-scale solar plants. This range gives Thai developers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors greater flexibility in product selection and system design.

For businesses with limited rooftop space, HJT’s high efficiency supports greater power generation per square meter. Dinto Solar’s G12-132 module features a superior temperature coefficient of −0.24%/°C to limit heat-related power loss. Butyl sealing and coated dual glass further improve moisture resistance and durability, supporting reliable energy yield in Thailand’s hot, humid climate.

JJ Energy Company Limited, Dinto Solar’s exclusive partner in Thailand, holds the local import licenses. The companies’ 2026–2027 agreement, announced in September, includes an initial 30 MW order for G12-132 HJT modules for Thai C&I rooftops. Certification enables the partners to advance import arrangements, customs clearance and distribution in preparation for delivery.

With certified products and local market capabilities in place, Dinto Solar is strengthening its position in Thailand while expanding its presence across Southeast Asia. The company will continue working with regional partners to bring high-efficiency HJT solutions to more projects, focusing on reliable performance, long-term energy yield and customer value.

Xinhua Silk Road: Overseas media representatives visit Xiaomi’s smart auto factory in Beijing

Published

BEIJING, Nov. 8, 2026 /CNW/ — On November 6, media representatives from various countries and regions visited Xiaomi’s smart auto factory in southeast Beijing, exploring firsthand Xiaomi’s achievements in NEV R&D, intelligent manufacturing and ecosystem innovation.

After the tour, Marcos Costa de Oliveira, editor-in-chief of Brazil’s Monitor Mercantil newspaper, said he is a lover of Xiaomi stuff, and Xiaomi cars are beautifully designed and useful too.

Xiaomi’s greatest advantage is its ability to combine innovative technology, attractive design and impressive performance, said Tamas Kovacs, CEO of ATV Hungary.

Covering an area of approximately 718,000 square meters, the factory is a modern smart manufacturing campus for Xiaomi NEVs that integrates R&D, production, sales and customer experience.

The factory has upgraded traditional auto-making processes to six tailored to NEV production, with 100 percent automation achieved in key processes. More than 700 robots work in coordination across the production lines while artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are employed to significantly improve quality inspection accuracy.

“I was particularly impressed by the extensive use of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence throughout the manufacturing process,” said Kovacs. “Xiaomi’s manufacturing capabilities demonstrate China’s remarkable progress in industrial innovation.”

The interactive demonstration of Xiaomi’s human×car×home smart ecosystem was another highlight of the tour. The ecosystem allows users to remotely control smart home devices directly from their vehicles through voice commands or preset scenarios, enabling seamless connectivity across different living scenarios.

Yasiru Bandara Ranaraja, founding director of Belt & Road Initiative Sri Lanka, said Xiaomi is very innovative and gives the whole solution of the car for controlling all electronics.

Such ecosystem is one of the most innovative achievements of Xiaomi, said Kovacs. “I believe this integrated approach represents an important direction for the future of transportation.”

When asked about Xiaomi’s plan to go global, many guests expressed hopes to see Xiaomi vehicles sold in their own countries. Agnes Kalekye Nguna, CEO of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, said NEV plays a significant role in environmental conservation and promoting utilization of clean energy in Africa. “Come to Africa, we are waiting for you!”

The tour was one of the events held during the 7th World Media Summit running on November 5-9 in Beijing, which gathered nearly 500 guests from mainstream media, think tanks, government departments and international organizations across 112 countries and regions.
