Get your employees on board with the Chamber

If you are a member of the Chamber, then so are each of your employees. Encouraging them to get involved on some level will give you greater value for your membership investment. They can receive e-mail, attend programs, serve on a committee - just about anything. As they become more involved, they will be creating additional visibility for your services and products and building potentially valuable business relationships.

Remember, it is actually your business that is the member, thereby affording all benefits of membership tothose in your office or workplace. These include Member Discounts, referrals and more.

What really motivates employees

The Internet is an unending source of news, ideas. professional advice of all sorts and resources that connect us with businesses, places and people. I used to delete many of the e-mails that came in without checking out what nuggets of knowledge they might contain. Now I at least open them, specifically to look at the major idea or focus of the message and to determine if any links contained in the message might be of value to us at the Chamber or to you our members/readers. This morning I received a Twitter from Mike Rodgers from the Small Business Association of Michigan with the link to an articlce about motivating employees, especially in this economy. After reading it, I thought many of you might like it as well. To learn more, click here 5 Myths about Motivating Your Employees in a Recession - Motivating your Employees - Entrepreneur.com.
