Our new website and member portal will be launched in mid-June! Watch for emails and instructions on how to set up your member account which will allow you to register for events, post jobs, review resumes, and more!

Whether you’re a business owner, a leader, or an individual contributor, how do you know you’re successful in your endeavors? Not everyone has the same goals personally or professionally, so you can’t just copy someone’s homework here. How do you measure success for you?

Cold Hard Facts

We all love warm and fuzzy feedback about our work. But just because someone shared an anecdotal story about how their mom and her best friends loved your product or service, you can’t declare victory.

Client stories and testimonials are great for attracting customers and can help provide some context, but you need evidence that you can track objectively. And the less fuzz the better.

To do that, you need concrete metrics to determine how your entire client base reacts to your company. The more objective the metric, the easier you can use it to measure success. But first you have to define which numbers or scores to track.

The Most Important Thing(s)

Regardless of what you choose to measure, identify and track the numbers that are the most important to achieving your longterm goals. Then, check your goals against your company’s mission.

Where do you have the biggest gap between aspiration and reality? What might make the biggest positive impact and move the needle for the business? These are the most important things to track for the business.

You might already know which numbers give you the best indicators of business health. If you’re struggling to identify numbers or think you may have the wrong ones, consider some of the metrics listed below.

Do Dollars Make Sense?

More and more we’re seeing that the bottom line isn’t always the only (or best) indicator of success. Don’t misunderstand us: there’s nothing wrong with wanting to focus on a healthy bottom line. It’s vital for survival.

Increasing revenue and profit margins very often are the greatest indicators of success for a business, especially during the start-up and growth phases. During these times, these numbers most likely WILL be the owner’s primary focus.

That said, some company leaders know they cannot grow their revenue with the current resources.

Instead, they’d prefer to focus on reducing expenses to increase profit margins, which can mean reviewing their processes and current workforce skillsets.

Or they may have other priorities that will ultimately grow their business (think expenditures for a new location or expansion into a new niche market).

Increasing Capacity

When a company provides valuable products or services, demand for them will nearly always follow. This can happen at the individual contributor level when someone does such spectacular work everyone clamors to work with them.

Eventually, the person or the organization hits a capacity issue. They can’t work any harder and have run out of ways to improve processes to work smarter. It’s time to rethink how things are currently operating to increase capacity.

Does someone need to automate things (looking at you, current golden child Chat GPT), upskill with some professional development to be more effective, or add more people to help out?

From this perspective, increasing employee headcount can be a measure of success when looking for the right people to most efficiently increase capacity.

Improving Team Culture

Many companies report feeling in a funk recently. People latch onto buzzwords like “quiet quitting” or “quiet firing” to externalize and explain their blah. Both experiences trample on employee morale and create an unhealthy environment to work in, creating a perpetual cycle of blah (yes, that’s the technical term).

Instead, forward-thinking leaders look inward to figure out the root cause of the funk and address it head-on. Anyone who follows serial entrepreneur Gary Vee knows how important a company team culture is to him.

How does Gary continually provide an outstanding environment for his team and garners outstanding results? He *gasp* asks people what they want (because they measure success differently, too).

Gary and smart leaders like him address problems that prevent people from enjoying their working experience. For example, maybe there’s a mismatch in core values to lived experience. A leader works to fix this and bring daily activities into alignment with core values.

Share Your Success!

However you measure success, the Chamber wants to celebrate your wins with you! Whether it’s years in business, a milestone number of customers served, or more smiles at team meetings, let us know! Contact us at info@westmorelandchamber.com or use our online form to share your story.

We love being the conduit for spreading good news. Sharing your success story just may provide the inspiration for another member to make changes to better their business as well. It all starts tracking the right things to measure success for you.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

How do we welcome everyone in Westmoreland County? How do people and businesses grow in our area where our population is declining?

These were the questions on the minds of the 112 attendees at our first Economic Development Through Diversity and Inclusion Conference held at the Fred Rogers Center. The group of invested individuals from local businesses and non-profits spent the morning looking at diversity, equity, and inclusion from a business and economic perspective.

Dr. Debasish Chakraborty, Dean of the School of Business at Seton Hill University, started the session with explaining what diversity means. It is not just about race and religion…it means capitalizing on varying life experiences. He explained that life experiences are what makes us unique and that individuals and businesses grow when we incorporate those unique perspectives into our daily lives. Simply put, “Diversity matters and it matters decisively”. Dr. Chakraborty went on to explain that the “data is clear; The economics is clear”. An increase in the consumer base means an increase in the workforce. An increase in workforce means stronger economic development. We need young people here to drive economics. Dr. Chakraborty presented statistics of studies and research that showed that companies lose trillions of dollars due to discrimination.

Panel speakers that represented businesses in our county discussed their take on how diversity drives business. Mike Storms, Director of Operations from Elliott Group, started off by saying “It’s the right thing to do if you really want to be great!” Our panelist from Independence Health System, Michelle Lewis and Ellen Katter, piggybacked on that by stating that their mission to “deliver culturally sensitive care” has to be a standard that they don’t deviate from. Ellen Whittingham, from Kennametal, reminded us that it comes down to employee engagement. She says “It can’t just be structural; it has to be a behavior change.” We don’t just want to “check the box”.

If you sat through the first two sessions of the morning and still didn’t understand the importance of the topic, the last session of the day was one that allowed attendees to feel the results through the stories of our youth panel. Three young members of our community explained the lack of diversity in our area and why young people are departing. Lack of diversity in schools, lack of education about cultural differences, and absence of places for young people of diverse backgrounds to visit in our county were some of the concerns discussed. When asked what people and businesses can do to help the initiative, all three of the panelists agreed that becoming “culturally cognitive” through experiences and education is of utmost importance.

The May session dove into the “WHY” this is important. The hope is that the next session will dive deeper into the “HOW” to educate the community and “HOW” to accomplish incorporating these principals into one’s personal and business practices.

Chamber Champion of the Month

Westmoreland County Community College

No one understands having a community presence quite like the Westmoreland County Community College. That is why they were an excellent choice to be our June Chamber Champion of the Month.

When it comes to matching the chamber values and mission, the college surpasses expectations with their commitment to workforce development, community involvement, diversity, and economic development.

Founded back in 1970, the college has grown both figuratively and literally in the last 53 years. They now have approximately 3,000 full and part time students enrolled. They offer 54 associate degrees, 17 diplomas, and 54 certificate programs. They employ 81 full time teaching faculty and approximately 279 part time faculty members.

The mission of the college, led by President Tuesday Stanley, Ed.D, is to improve the quality of life in the communities they serve through education, training, an cultural enrichment.

Through the pandemic, the college had to change its ways of operations. But they thought outside the box and were able to continue to serve our community with new technology, new facilities and new ways to teach and work. Dr. Stanley states that this was a “renewed dedication to serving Westmoreland, Fayette and Indiana Counties.”

The Westmoreland County Community College is no stranger to growth and development. In the past few years, they finished phase III of the renovation of their Student Achievement Center and completed the new open concept library. They cut the ribbon at their state-of-the-art event center and outfitted classrooms with new technology.

Under Stanley’s leadership in 2022, the Westmoreland team secured a part in the Build Back Better Grant for Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics. This grant helped create opportunities for workers and employers in the growing area of Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics.

The college has been awards a 2.5 million Title III grant to strengthen online educational services and student services, ensuring a full spectrum of resources is available to Westmoreland, Indiana and Fayette counties in Pennsylvania.

In 2023 WCCC focused on students both in and outside of the classroom by implementing a Career Closet and Advocacy Center. The new Surgical Technology Center in New Kensington education center was revealed and the college cut the ribbon on their Virtual Reality room where students can experience the work they would do in their chosen career through VR.

The Chamber Champion program is brought to our members in conjunction

As many know, workforce development is at the top of the chamber’s priority list. WCCC is also committed to helping area businesses and industry develop and maintain a skilled workforce. The Workforce Development Team works with local organizations to identify training needs and will even aid in evaluating potential job candidates. You don’t have to be a large corporation to take advantage of this benefit, as the college works with small shops to large manufacturers.

In addition, the college shares with us their strong belief that diversity and inclusion are values that encourage healthy, vibrant communities. Their Equity and Inclusion Committee meets regularly to ensure that the college’s diversity statement is being acted upon in all facets of the institution’s activities. In 2023 the college kicked off the opening of the Center for Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

Lastly, but certainly not least, the chamber celebrates WCCC’s commitment to the community. Their nonstudent initiatives allow all to be “invited to be a part of our family in a number of ways.” These include:

• Retired Senior Volunteer Program – Seniors can help others in the community through volunteerism

• Workforce Development – Businesses can implement a training program with advisors

• Chef’s Bistro – The public can eat at the mini-restaurant operated by the hospitality students

• Continuing Education/Non-Credit Courses – Anyone can learn a new skill or have fun with friends

• Dental Hygiene Clinic – Community members can receive dental services at a reduced rate

• PA MEDI – One can get their Medicare and Medicaid questions answered by trained volunteers

The items mentioned here are just a short list of all that the Westmoreland County Community College has to offer and how they deserve to be the June Chamber Champion. 97% of the students at WCCC stay here in our communities. Retention of young people is essential to grow our local economy and thanks to WCCC students can live, work and play in our own backyard!

The college has coined itself as having a “Proud Past and Ambitious Future”. We look forward to seeing your next 50 years of an Ambitious Journey,

Congratulations Westmoreland County Community College and thank you for your FIFTY years of membership with the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce!

Non-Profit of the Month

FAVOR Western Pennsylvania

When considering a member to be awarded the Non-Profit of the Month, we look for those who are dedicated to community and to the growth of our county. There was no doubt that FAVOR Western Pennsylvania met those requirements when they were chosen to be the June 2023 awardee.

FAVOR, which stands for Faces and Voices of Recovery, is located in Bolivar, PA. Though located in a smaller town, their mission is large: to help those “in recovery, seeking recovery, or those who don’t think they need recovery” be treated with dignity and respect while obtaining a pathway to work in our communities. Their goal is to help not only individuals with substance or alcohol use disorder, but their families, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances as well.

Staff and volunteers at FAVOR Western Pennsylvania have been helping the community since they opened in July of 2013. They pride themselves on eliminating the stigma so that individuals can seek help from the non-profit without feeling embarrassed. They provide a safe haven by eliminating some of the “traditional” systems of a clinical recovery program.

These include:

• No fees-everything is FREE of charge

• No forms to fill out

• No requirements to be met

• No mandatory insurance requirements

• No discharge planning

We applaud FAVOR for this mission to help individuals, but we also applaud their vision of economic development through workforce development. In November 2021, FAVOR Western PA received a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission’s (ARC) Inspire Initiative, a federal government economic development partner agency. Through this grant, their Recovery to Work (R2W) program will allow more individuals to gain resources and support. Services may include:

• Employment seeking services

• Housing

• Budget planning

• Resume building

• Mock interviews

In addition, the grant will help build the FAVOR Laurel Highlands initiative, which is expected to help 170 individuals in recovery.

The ARC Federal Co-Chair, Gayle Manchin, stated it well when she said “The substance use disorder crisis isn’t only a health and family issue – it also has severe economic impacts, keeping many Appalachians from participating in the labor force and contributing to the region’s economic growth.”

She continues, “When we help individuals in recovery succeed, our communities succeed.”

Kudos to FAVOR Western Pennsylvania. We are honored to have such a dedicated and helpful organization in our Chamber of Commerce.

Our members are encouraged to check out FAVOR’s website and Facebook page. They have various events upcoming including a Jewelry Bash in July and Battle of the Bands in September. Our employers are also encouraged to complete the confidential workforce development survey in an effort to help FAVOR gain data for their programs. The survey takes less than four minutes to complete.

Look to learn more about FAVOR at the October 17th Wake Up Westmoreland. Members will be invited to their facility in Bolivar at this signature networking event.

Chamber’s Financial Wellness & News for June!

How to Choose the Right Insurer forYour Benefit Plans

Offering the right mix of benefits to employees is a daunting task for almost any company. Yet most business owners understand the importance and value a strong employee benefit portfolio has on their company’s growth and overall success. But choosing the best benefits is only part of the story. Choosing the right insurance carriers to provide those benefits is not only the other part of the story, but an often undervalued aspect as well.

When evaluating different carriers for benefit plans, there are several things employers should consider prior to making a decision. While working with a benefits broker or consultant will greatly simplify this process, it is ultimately up to the business owner to assure the carrier selection is the best fit for their company. Here are a few points to consider:

Carrier Credentials…In addition to checking that carriers are licensed to do business in any state(s) with client locations, decision makers should also seek assurance that the carrier is financially sound and meets all state requirements such as those involving required premium reserve levels.

Diversity of Products and Services…Most companies today, especially those with more than a few employees, tend to offer multiples plan options for their employees to choose from. The right carrier should have a wide portfolio of plans available for any group. Which of those plans should be in the company benefit package? That should be based on the specific demographics of each business, the health care needs of that population and the company budget.

Provider Networks…Prior to including a plan in the company’s benefit portfolio, the decision maker should be assured that employees and their families will be comfortable choosing from the physicians and hospitals within the provider’s network.

Cost Competitiveness…This is obvious, but with all other factors being equal, the plan premiums for both the company and it’s employees are a major factor in any decision to choose or bypass a carrier.

Level of Technology…Online access to health information, digital tools and monitoring and other technology can assist in the management of health issues, taking stress away from employees seeking enhanced well-being and providing employers utilization based savings in the process.

Customer Service Experience…Research the level of personalized customer service that the provider offers members. Especially in smaller businesses, where there are fewer if any human resource personnel for employees to turn to for help with claim issues, a friendly, responsive and effective call center can make or break the employee experience.

The Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce offers its members access to My Benefit Advisor as a solution for employee benefits, including voluntary offerings. For more information about My Benefit Advisor, visit our website at wccc.mybenefitadvisor.com or contact Craig Pritts at (800) 377-3539.

Why Use D-Bug Waterproofing?

Why

1) As the ground becomes saturated, the water table begins to rise, putting pressure against the basement floor, then water seeks cracks in the cement for entry caused by hydrostatic water pressure.

2) Inadequate gutters and down spout leadoffs
