New Benefits Within the Utah Manufacturers Association

New Benefits Within the Utah Manufacturers Association

By Lloyd Jensen & Justin Hawkes, Business Development Team

Are you maximizing your membership in the Utah Manufacturers Association? Are you taking advantage of all of the resources and services available to you through your membership? If you are not, we invite you to reach out and schedule a call with a Business Development Team Member to help you make the most of your membership.

Our mission statement is ‘Strengthening Utah’s manufacturers by developing and providing resources that drive prosperity.’

This year, UMA has been working hard putting together new membership packages that offer more value to our members. Enhanced benefits, and more discounts on a variety of services that provide tremendous value to your business and employees.

We have been strategic with the service companies that we are partnering with to ensure that your membership in the UMA offers support in multiple areas of your business; Operations, Human Resources, Workplace Safety, Frontline Training, Sales Bootcamps, Workplace Culture, and more.

Regularly we review our membership offerings to determine what additional resources we need to add to increase value for our members. It was in this mindset that we recently had a discussion with one of UMA's Investor companies, where they suggested that we offer a mental health awareness and suicide prevention program to better support our members.

We took this to heart and are proud to announce that we have recently partnered with Blunovus, who specialize in offering 24/7 support and education around mental health, emotional support, and suicide prevention. Help and support is either a call or a text away and is completely confidential. This service covers you, and can be shared with whomever matters to you.

Here at UMA, we know how joyful the holiday season can be. We also understand that isn’t the case for everyone, and the holidays can be very challenging and stressful for some. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to offer your workforce and their loved ones support through this wonderful program that is now available to all UMA member companies.

2022 has been a tremendous year filled with growth and positive change. We partnered with many great companies and organizations that offer even more benefits to UMA member companies. This year we have partnered with and added the following companies and services for our UMA members:

• UMA HR Roundtables - facilitated by NFP

• UMA Frontline Leadership Training - developed in partnership with SLCC

• UMA Insurance Discount Program - offered through CUI & EMC (5%+ discount on entire insurance package)

• UMA Hiring Program - through ApplicantPro (20% discount)

• UMA Workplace Culture - through Motivosity (10% discount)

• UMA Mental Health and Suicice Prevention - through Blunovus

• UMA PPE Equipment and Office Supplies - through Fastenal (20% discount)

Additionally, in 2022, we’ve launched a new membership package that offers more value and support to our manufacturers called Member+. The companies that have invested in Member+ have reached out and let us know how beneficial it has been for their organization and are taking advantage of many of the benefits and services. Member+ has over $20,000 in value and is offered for an additional $1,500 annually. We would love to discuss these new opportunities with you and help you maximize your membership. We believe it is worth your time to learn more.

It is our sincere hope that you will reach out as we want to understand our Members’ needs better. Each and every member of the Utah Manufacturers Association matters to us and we feel it is of utmost importance that we are a valuable resource for your organization.
