Derek is a return guest. He joined us on the podcast two years ago for episode 32 as a Chamber of the Year Finalist in 2019.

In our discussion, Derek shares details about the two program synopsis that were submitted with their Chamber of the Year application.

The first program that Derek shared was their Stay Safe to Stay Open campaign. They created in partnership with the Utah Department of Health, 7 guidelines for employees and staff to inject confidence with their protocols through the COVID pandemic. They ended up with over 10,000 businesses talking a pledge to stay safe to stay open. This program was promoted via social media as well as earned media as the program gained momentum.

The second program that Derek discussed was Workforce Resilience which is part of their foundation. This program focuses on mental fitness. It brings awareness for employers and employees to understand available resources to address mental health, some of which are covered through their existing healthcare plans. The program also aimed to remove the stigma that often clouds mental health concerns.

Derek encourages listeners to learn from others in the Chamber industry. Find out what is working for others.
