Muskegon-area employers say workforce shortage is No. 1 challenge

After a full year of low unemployment rates in Muskegon County during 2017, local businesses say their top concern is finding qualified workers. 
At the end of 2017, 68 percent of businesses surveyed by the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce said that an apparent workforce shortage was their No. 1 concern going into 2018, according to a news release. 
"It is great to have a strong economy, yet now we must work to develop local talent and recruit new talent to the community," said Cindy Larsen, Chamber president.  
Unemployment rates in the county during 2017 ranged from a low of 3.9 percent in April to a high of 6.2 percent in July. 
Economists consider 2-7 percent unemployment to be full employment, meaning that there will always be some people unemployed as they move to new places or switch jobs or their skill set doesn't match up with open positions.  

The Chamber will make an effort to support workforce training programs during 2018, Larsen said. Activities that support partnerships between businesses and education also will be a high priority. 
One way that businesses along the lakeshore are combating the shortage is with skilled trades training. The Skilled Trades Training Fund, administered by the Michigan Talent Investment Agency, recently awarded grants to more than 40 Muskegon-area companies for a combined $1.5 million, which is enough to train about 1,500 employees.

“I am excited to move to Evansville and begin this next phase of my career in serving such a well-established Chamber and a vibrant community that is southwest Indiana,” Barney said in a news release issued by the local chamber.

“The Southwest Indiana Chamber is clearly an extremely well-run organization, having recently won Chamber of the Year nationally in 2016, and I’m proud to join the talented and capable staff. I look forward to getting to know all of our members to best serve their business needs and continue to build upon the prosperity and vision of this local economy.”

In Quad Cities, Barney led a chamber with a $6 million budget that worked effectively with more than 30,000 local businesses. Read more: Courier-Press

Chamber Executive Ongoing Education Weekly New Idea: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, has been a top-seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its fifteenth year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey exploring the question of whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answering some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Fox Cities Chamber Introduces Executive Roundtables


New program will provide like-minded executives with a confidential network to share perspectives

The Fox Cities Chamber is excited to announce the launch of its newest program, Executive Roundtables. The program will provide business leaders across the Fox Cities Region the opportunity to create a confidential and professional network of like-minded peers who share a desire to overcome challenges and a willingness to share best practices.

Applications for the Executive Roundtables program are available online at http://bit.ly/FCCroundtable. These Roundtables will act as an advisory forum, providing a confidential environment for discussion of critical business issues, experience-sharing and problem solving. Groups will be professionally-facilitated and consist of eight to twelve executives from non-competing industries with no competing interests. Cheryl Good, President of Performance Solutions & Consulting, Incorporated and Patrick Minskey, Financial Advisor from Edward Jones, will facilitate the program and provide guidance to the discussions.

The Roundtable groups are comprised of business owners and c-suite decision makers from diverse industries to provide participants with the unique opportunity to hear ideas and suggestions from different perspectives. A one-year commitment is requested for participants and monthly topics will be discussed by the group. It is requested that each participant have a business case available for the program discussion.

Executive Roundtable applications are open now through April 15, 2018. Applications will be reviewed and the group will be selected in May 2018. A program orientation will occur in June, followed by the program’s kick-off in August which will culminate in June 2019.

“Our recent survey indicated a need for executive-level programming to allow participants the opportunity to improve their companies and share solutions. This professionally-facilitated Executive Roundtable program will provide CEO’s and executives from our member businesses a confidential platform with peers to discuss and solve business challenges that help participants manage and grow their business,” shared Bob Mundt, Fox Cities Chamber President/CEO.

I-69 Thumb Region Issues RFP for Connecting Workers to Jobs

The I-69 Thumb Region is seeking proposals for ways to improve the regional workforce supply in 2018 and beyond.
Specifically, the Request for Proposal (RFP) should address one of two key areas:
  • Underemployment – Assist residents working part-time and/or at low wages with strategies to advance them into higher paying, full-time jobs with benefits.
  • Retirement/Succession Planning – Help employers manage an aging workforce, plan for succession, and encourage apprenticeships and other job skills training that utilizes the expertise of those approaching retirement.
A $38,000 grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. will be used by the partnership to fund the winning proposals.
The RFP builds on the momentum of the recent I-69 Thumb Region Talent Forum, which was held Jan. 24 to address workforce supply issues, as many employers in the I-69 Thumb Region are in a hiring mode.
“We want to connect more workers to good paying jobs that are available in our region,” said Janice Karcher, Senior Vice President of Economic Development at the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce. “Openings are occurring in the skilled trades, supervisory, and technician levels in various industries as older employees near retirement.
“The Thumb Region partners are seeking the best thinking and strategies on how we can close this gap for the benefit of our local employers and workers.”
Proposals are due Feb. 13 by 12 p.m. (noon).
A conference call for those with questions on the RFP and/or potential projects will be held Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. Complete details about the RFP and conference call are available online at I-69ThumbRegion.org/talent-rfp.

The I-69 Thumb Region is a partnership of the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce, Shiawassee Economic Development Partnership, Lapeer Development Corporation, Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County, Sanilac & Huron County Economic Development Corporation and Tuscola County Economic Development Corporation.

Wisconsin Assembly Republicans move bill to allow business associations to self-insure


A proposal that could shake up Wisconsin’s health care market is up for a vote in the Assembly Tuesday less than two weeks after being introduced.
The bill would allow businesses in the same chamber of commerce or industry association to join together and pay directly for their employee health care costs, similar to how many large employers self-insure as a way to manage costs.
Currently, businesses can band together to buy health insurance, but bill author Rep. Shannon Zimmerman, R-River Falls, said skyrocketing health care costs for families and businesses necessitates a new way for employers to find cost savings through what are known as association health plans.
Small businesses pay 8 percent to 18 percent more than large companies for the same coverage, Zimmerman said, citing a report from the National Conference of State Legislatures.
“Health care is one of the most important issues facing Americans today,” Zimmerman said in testimony before the Assembly Committee on Health last week. “If the law is working for big businesses and their employees, then I believe the same advantage should be given to smaller businesses.” Read more: Madison State Journal

Pat Convery Named Howell Chamber's 2017 Citizen Of The Year



Pat Convery, a longtime member of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, has been named the organization’s 2017 Citizen of the Year.


2016’s recipient, Patti Griffith, presented the award to Convery at the Chamber’s 61st annual Citizen of the Year dinner on Thursday. The event was held at Cleary University in Genoa Township. Cleary’s Johnson Center was full of community members and leaders, many of whom have met, interacted, or worked with Convery through her numerous roles.

Convery has been with the chamber for 28 years and has held leadership positions in a number of local organizations. The Hartland resident is the only chamber professional to receive the Michigan Chamber Professional Award twice since its inception. Still, she remains humble, saying it is a tremendous honor to serve with people of such a high caliber.

Convery says she was shocked when she realized she had been chosen as Citizen of the Year, adding that she attended a “sham meeting” held by past recipients who fooled her into thinking someone else had been chosen. Griffith began the presentation with a slideshow of clues as to who the 2017 winner might be. Convery says she noticed she had a lot in common with the recipient based on those clues. Once she figured it out, she started to cry. Convery feels Livingston County is a passionate community filled with people who work hard to make it so and says it’s an honor to even be considered as Citizen of the Year.

A number of awards were also handed out prior to the citizen announcement, including investment and prosperity awards to Adam Merkel Restaurants, Chem-Trend Limited Partnership, Thai Summit America Corporation, and TG Fluid Systems.

Rick Resinger and Brandi Tambasco were recognized for their leadership and professionalism.

The Howell Police Department, Livingston Educational Service Agency, and the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority were also awarded for their community impact. Read more: WHMI 93.5

Porter County Expo Center
215 E Division Rd
Valparaiso, IN 46383
The Valpo Chamber Envision the Future Committee is planning the 2017 event for Porter County
eight-grade students.  This annual program is scheduled for March 14, 2017, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
at the Porter County Expo Center.
Business Volunteers are extremely important to this program.  Volunteers will assist students as they learn
how to live within their means while enjoying their chosen career.  Envision the Future is an opportunity
for students to realize exactly how much money it will take to pay for housing, utilities, a vehicle, insurance,
food, clothing, and childcare; while trying to have enough money leftover for the “extras” in life.

Why should you volunteer?  What’s in it for you?
- Area 8th graders are the future pool of employees and consumers.  The better
choices they make for their education, the better the employment pool becomes
for the local business community.
- Networking opportunities with several business volunteers in attendance.
- Envision the Future is a great way to impact over 1,000 students in a short
period of time.
Please register for a station of your choice.

ACCE spotlight: Grand Rapids Area Chamber probes local business

The Grand Rapids Area Chamber recently released the results of its annual government affairs survey of member businesses. The survey results show that workforce and talent issues continue to rank as top priorities for employers, with parking availability also surfacing as an issue of concern.
“We use this survey as an opportunity each year to see where our members are seeing some of their biggest obstacles and opportunities,” said Joshua Lunger, director of government affairs at the Grand Rapids Area Chamber. “It’s an opportunity for us to investigate further into issues that we might not have been spending as much time on.”
The survey revealed business sentiment remains positive, with 96 percent of employers reporting a favorable or very favorable perception of the business climate in West Michigan. The biggest challenge, according to respondents, is finding qualified candidates to hire.
“We’re growing and creating jobs, but we don’t have enough folks to fill them,” said Lunger. “80 percent of companies reporting talent shortages say the cause is due to consistent business growth and job creation, rather than hiring to fill an existing slot,” he added. “This is actually a good problem to have.”
To address the talent shortage, Lunger says the chamber is focused on promoting skilled trades in public schools and through the Skilled Trades Training Fund, a statewide grant for employers, as well as encouraging greater investment in early childhood education.
“Talent and education policy is a very long game,” said Lunger. “You have to look at the whole picture, from access to high-quality childcare all the way to what’s in the curriculums of the schools.”
Another issue that emerged for the second year in a row was access to parking, with 28 percent describing it as a significant challenge. To address these concerns, Lunger says the chamber is advocating for increased supply.
“We had a group of members that met for a few months and came up with an eight-point parking and mobility plan,” he said. “Whether it’s parking a little further out and using a high-frequency transit service or improving our downtown circular, we want employers to have a whole list of options for how their employees can get to work.”
Lunger says that, while the survey revealed a consistently positive outlook among employers, the concerns raised regarding talent shows the business community can’t afford to become complacent.
“We titled the report: ‘Businesses like what they see, but addressing talent is critical to continued growth,’ and we think that really sums it up,” he said. “We have a lot of positives, but we can’t sleep on this talent issue. We need to put it front-and-center, and I think that’s true for most places in the country right now that are growing.” Source: ACCE Spotlight
