Vice Chair Communications

I hope that you were able to attend our 2023 Chamber of Commerce Economic Outlook Conference. We sold out the event once again this year. Next year we will be looking at more ways to distribute the valuable economic information that was presented to our attendees. We learned that there will still be many opportunities for success this coming year, and I know everyone left the conference with a phenomenal amount of data and new ideas.

Thank you to all of our Chamber Legislative Affairs Delegation that traveled to Austin on Feb. 13 and 14 to deliver our State Legislative Action Plan from the Bryan/College Station business community. Our teams visited the offices of every member of the Texas House of Representatives and all members of the Texas Senate as well. Our Action Plan is available to view on our Chamber website, www.bcschamber.org. Your Chamber Legislative Affairs Committee not only fights for our local businesses in Austin, but will also travel to Washington D.C. in May. We go to D.C. to voice our needs and concerns to federal officials as well as federal agencies with jurisdiction over the Bryan/College Station market. Working for your business legislatively is just one more way your Chamber membership amplifies your voice as we work together to build a successful and thriving business environment.

Congratulations go out to this year’s Community Impact Award winners: Mike Espitia, owner of GoldStar Barber Studio; Korey Thomas, owner of Remnant of Nawlins; and Meredith Stancik-McAuliffe and Janis Stancik, owners of Sabi Boutique. This was the 20th anniversary of this award, and we recognized 20 past winners as well at our Chamber luncheon. We are happy to be able to acknowledge these minority-owned businesses and the impact they have on the B/ CS market through job creation, support for local nonprofits and the goods and services they provide. This luncheon is supported by the Chamber’s Community Outreach Committee, which works to make the Chamber look like our community. Because of our Chamber’s inclusiveness, we are able to speak with one voice for all of our businesses, and all the individuals that make up the faces and stories behind every B/CS business. We recognize we are stronger together rather than apart, and our Community Outreach Committee and Community Impact Award winners prove this to be correct every day.

Please review Page 1 of this Connections magazine for upcoming events you and your staff may want to attend or volunteer to help. We want to see you either way! Chamber events are a fun way to promote our community, and also promote your own business. Come to a Chamber event and expand your business circle. You are always welcome.

Thank you for your membership, and thank you for building a stronger, healthier community through stronger, healthier businesses.

Start Saving for the Future

Create a Financial Buffer

Pay Off Debt

Increase Your Net Income

Evaluate Your Expenses

Is money, or the lack thereof, stressing you out? Maybe you are drowning in debt and trying to keep all the bills paid on time. Are you hiding credit debt from your spouse? Did you resolve to be “better” with your finances this year? At one point in my life, most all the above questions were true, and I did not see a way out. I made the decision to sit down with a financial advisor and was told what I knew all along-get rid of the consumer debt. It took me approximately three years to clean up the mess that I created, and I want to share five strategies (provided by Cetera Investment Services Marketing Central) that helped me get my financial house in order.

paying the principal and interest on your debt, you’ll have room to do with your money what you want.

Try These 5 Strategies to Gain Financial Health.

An easy way to start saving is to set up automatic transfers. Most financial institutions can help you set up internal transfers, so your money moves from your checking to your savings account without you having to think about it.

Being financially healthy looks different for everyone and every life stage. But what almost everyone can agree on are the benefits of creating positive habits to improve the health of your finances over the long term. Use these strategies to get started on your way to financial wellness.

1. Evaluate Your Expenses You may have a general idea of what your regular expenses are, but it is a good idea to look at your bank statements to get a better picture of exactly how much money you spend.

Having accurate numbers of what you spend can help you identify areas where you could be spending too much and can afford to cut back. You know approximately how much you spend eating out for one meal, but do you know how much that adds up to over a month? Put your actual expenses into focus.

2. Increase Your Net Income Everyone wants to make more money, but unfortunately, that is not something you have a lot of control over. Increasing your net income is not only about earning more – it’s also about spending less.

After you take a good look into your finances, find areas where you can cut back.

There may be some areas of your finances where you are spending money unnecessarily. Use these funds for more practical purposes like paying off debt, creating an emergency fund or saving for retirement.

3. Pay Off Debt Paying off your debt can have a significant impact on the health of your finances.

Having debt is often unavoidable, but the kind of debt that overwhelms your life is not financially healthy.

Reducing your debt will only serve you in the long run. Use methods like the snowball or avalanche method to get your debt under control. Once you are no longer

4. Create a Financial Buffer A financial buffer can come in the form of a designated emergency fund or adding to your existing savings account. What matters is that you have funds for the unexpected, whether that is a repair, a bill or loss of income. Creating a buffer is about having some wiggle room within your finances.

5. Start Saving for the Future The hardest part about saving for retirement is getting started. There are more interesting ways to use your money than putting it into an account and not spending it for 30 years. But starting to save now will better serve you in the future.

Putting money towards your retirement is about focusing on the future and your long-term financial goals. Put your freed-up funds to good use and start investing for retirement.

Improving your financial health is not a process that happens overnight. It is a journey that will take time but will be worth it. If you need more help or need additional strategies to improve your financial health, please contact me at: demond@fundamentaladvice.com.

MARCH/APRIL 2022

Building A Happier Healthier Workforce

In a large brightly lit conference room in downtown Houston, sit the CEO, CFO and HR Director of a large oil and gas company.

The room is alive with chatter about the last event in which the company had participated.

The CEO and 50 employees had cycled from Houston to Austin in a span of two days. The CEO is ecstatic about how many employees participated. Just two years ago, according to health insurance claims, over 40% of the company’s employees had some underlying health condition, ranging from hypertension, early-stage diabetes, to high cholesterol.

On the other side of the conference table, their wellness consultant is presenting the current year’s health claim numbers. The company has cut down health insurance claims by 15% from 2 years ago. They have tackled high claims, employee retention, job productivity, and even inclusion, all through a tailored wellness program.

According to their latest employee surveys, employees felt they were more cared about, felt more a part of the team, and enjoyed coming to work. These results are up 20% from the previous year’s survey. The CFO and HR Director comment on how the building feels “alive” when you walk in and how employee energy is tangible!

Why would companies go to such lengths to create a healthy workplace? The reasons are endless and so practical. Wellness is reciprocal when it comes to employer and employee relationships.

When employers show that they care about their employees, employees tend to show up to work in their fullest capacity. The result is higher production and innovation.

Healthier employees drive insurance costs down and utilize less PTO for sick days.

Keep in Mind The why Why are we doing this?

What is the intention?

The goal How can we measure our long-term results?

The need What do employees need and want?

Embrace financial, mental, and social health.

The plan Is the company culture supportive of wellness? What is the communication strategy?

The reward What’s in it for everyone?

Use meaningful incentives!

The next step How do we improve this year to year?

Wellness Program Case Study

An average of $204 yearly savings for members who participated in biometric screenings vs. those who did not.

Successful wellness incentives have morphed over the years from free fitness wearables, gift cards, contributions on medical premiums and HSAs, and have more recently expanded to encompass a wellness experience.

Higginbotham Insurance’s wellness professionals worked with a company for several years and after their third year of giving away gift cards, we asked them, “do you remember the last gift card you received and what you did with it?” Almost everyone in the room said they could not remember. The company chose instead to give employees a memorable experience that related to their wellness culture. We surveyed the employees and asked them what they would want for their wellness incentive. We received lots of ideas— company sponsored bike rides, extra PTO, and even high-end exercise equipment. We then asked the question, “when the last time was you felt completely relaxed and happy?” Most people answered that it was the last time they went on vacation.

We took that feedback and ran with it! We proposed offering employees experiences that they could share with anyone they wanted. The company used wellness dollars to book short staycations and vacations for their employees and their families. Only a couple of weeks after the first trip was awarded, the company reported a higher engagement rate in their program and a sharp uptick in preventative care visits for the month. The company invested a small amount in the reward and their time in creating a sustainable, employee backed wellness plan and were rewarded with outstanding results that will continue to benefit the company and employees well into the future.

At Higginbotham, we work with companies to tailor wellness programs to create healthier workforces that result in higher retention, lower claims costs, and happier and productive employees.
