Our community continues to experience growth, as does our Greater High Desert Chamber of Commerce. Despite a struggling national economy, the High Desert is thriving. One only needs to drive five minutes, in any direction, to see new homes and commercial space being built. Homegrown and big-name businesses are choosing to plant roots and invest in our community. It’s a good time to be a High Desert resident. We have much to be grateful for today and much to look forward to in the coming months and years.

This growth is welcome, especially as it builds a stronger and more diverse business community. For years, many of our neighbors have endured daily commutes down the hill or to outlying counties for work. This has changed. The opportunities are now close to home. With growth, we will see friends and family find work locally. No longer being required to grin and bear hours of windshield time, instead reaping the benefits of an improved quality of life. Again, we have much to be grateful for.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT WILL APPLY TO EMPLOYEERS IN 2023

Article courtesy of HR Watchdog presented by CalChamber https://hrwatchdog.calchamber.com/2022/09/california-consumer-priva cy-act-will-apply-to-employers-in-2023/

What is the California Consumer Privacy Act?

Initially created in 2018, the CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020, Roberts says.

The CCPA was intended to provide data protection rights to California consumers, such as the right to know what data about a consumer is being collected or the right to certain protections of personal data, Hoffman explains. The law also provides some remedies in the event of a data breach and a right to inspect records. Certain companies have a few rights, for exam ple, to opt out of some selling of information, right to request deletion of information, etc.

While the law does not apply to every business in California, it does apply to three categories of for-profit businesses:

Businesses with a gross annual revenue of $25 million or more; Businesses that buy, receive or sell personal information of 50,000 California household residents or devices (This figure will soon change to 100,000 California household residents or devices); and Businesses that derive 50% or more of annual revenue from selling consumers’ personal information.

Who Is Covered by the CCPA?

As defined in the law, a “consumer” means a California resident. Businesses crafting a CCPA policy should be very clear that its policies apply only to California residents, Hoffman stresses. Otherwise, if a policy is written too broadly, the business could find itself in a bind if the policy expresses the business is willing to apply these rights to people even outside of California.

Any type of information can be covered under the CCPA, such as personalized information or anything that identifies or could be linked to a consumer or their household, she says. This includes things like names, birth dates and Social Security num bers.

Starting January 1, 2023, the law will also apply to business-to-business information. So, if you are a smaller company that is doing business with a company covered by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Hoffman recommends you familiarize yourself with the CCPA because it will affect you soon.

CCPA Was Never Intended to Apply to Employees

The CCPA was never intended to apply to employees, and the legislators who wrote the law were very clear that that was never the intent, Hoffman says.

“But what happened was, when they were doing some cleanup, there was some concern from folks, that ‘consumer’ was written so broadly, that it could include employees,” she says.

In response, an amendment was written to exclude employees and business-to-business transactions. When the bill was go ing through the Legislature, however, some groups wanted to force a discussion on worker privacy, and so a sunset was put in to force business, labor and attorney groups to come to the table and talk about worker privacy, Hoffman explains.

Shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the sunset was extended to January 1, 2023, thanks to Proposition 24.

Because no bill was formally passed to extend the current sunset this year, absent another bill or executive order, the employ ee and business-to-business exemption will expire on January 1, 2023, but enforcement will not begin until July 1, 2023

What Employers Should Begin Doing

Employers should consult with their legal counsel to determine how the CCPA will affect their business and to ensure that proper policies are created, Hoffman says. Employers will need to know how to treat employee data, what data to collect and how long to retain the data. Employers also need to evaluate what other laws exist that have certain retention requirements.

Employers will need to disclose to employees what data is being retained, and establish a system to manage requests pro tected under the law, such as rights to accessing information, a right to correct, etc.

There also is a right to delete, which can be extremely concerning in the employment context, especially when one considers a situation where an employee is engaging in discriminatory or harassing behavior, and they may want to try and cover that up. Hoffman stresses that employers should learn about any exemptions that apply, such as an exemption for legal claims, or things like that. While employers should ensure there is a system in place for employees who seek to exercise their rights, employers also should know what the bounds of those rights are to ensure the integrity of key documents in a workplace investigation..

Ee Embracing mbracing Coffee Coffee Culture Culture

It's no secret that caffeine is a popular pick me up among workers A cup of coffee in the morning can help jumpstart your day, and many people rely on coffee to help them get through long hours at the office. While some may view coffee as a simple way to stay awake and productive, there's actually more to this popular beverage than meets the eye

In recent years, coffee culture has become a preferred way for people to interact with their coworkers and build relationships that go beyond business At its core, coffee culture refers to the social aspects of drinking coffee with your coworkers. This can include everything from grabbing a cup of joe in the break room before work, to enjoying a latte on your walk to the office.

Coffee culture can also involve more formal coffee breaks, where employees have the opportunity to sit down and chat with their colleagues in a relaxed setting. These types of coffee breaks can help establish trust and understanding among coworkers, which can be helpful during times of conflict

Leveraging Coffee Culture in the Workplace

So how can you leverage coffee culture to benefit your team? First, it's important to understand the importance of taking breaks throughout the workday

While many people are tempted to power through and try to get as much done as possible in a short period of time, this strategy is actually counterproductive By taking frequent breaks and allowing yourself time to recharge and connect with your coworkers, you can boost your productivity and creativity

Unlike traditional team building activities, which can feel forced or awkward, coffee culture is a more casual way for people to gather outside of work and socialize In fact, a study from MDPIhas shown that coffee culture can actually improve workplace productivity and morale

Aside from simply providing a fresh cup of coffee, many companies have started offering perks like free lunches and on site massages to help attract top talent and improve employee retention While these types of offerings certainly have their benefits, the simple act of bringing coworkers together over a cup of coffee can be equally powerful.

Some of the key benefits that coffee culture in the workplace can provide include:

Enhanced Creativity and Problem Solving Skills

By breaking away from traditional work environments and allowing people to socialize, coffee culture can help spark new ideas and encourage employees to work together more effectively

Improved Communication Among Team Members

Whether you're brainstorming new ideas or collaborating on a project, building relationships with your coworkers or team is essential to effective communication Coffee culture can help promote open communication by providing a relaxed setting for people to interact with one another.

Increased Motivation and Morale

When employees feel like they are part of a community, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated at work Coffee culture can help build a sense of camaraderie among coworkers, which can lead to higher levels of productivity.

Coffee culture in the workplace is more than just a way to stay awake and get work done By bringing people together, coffee culture can have a positive impact on creativity, communication, and motivation If you're looking for a way to improve your workplace, consider starting a coffee culture of your own.

Increased Retention

One of the most important aspects of a successful workplace is employee retention In order to keep your best talent, you need to create an environment that is enjoyable and engaging. Coffee culture can help with this by providing a way for employees to socialize and connect with one another When people feel like they are part of a community, they are more likely to stick around According to a survey done by Nespresso:

65% of employees expect high quality coffee in the workplace 77% of employees agree that morning coffee breaks are important 92% of employees want to have a social space (coffee/lunch spaces) in the office.

These statistics show that coffee culture is an important component of employee satisfaction and retention, and it's something that more companies should be investing in. If you want to create a great workplace and keep your employees happy, start by building a coffee culture of your own.

As the benefits of coffee culture become more widely recognized, more companies are starting to embrace this trend. If you're looking for a way to improve your workplace, consider implementing a coffee culture of your own. From improved creativity and communication to increased motivation and morale, coffee culture can have a positive impact on your business

This graph shows the percentages of the Greater High Desert Chamber of Commerce (GHDCC) membership, based on the size of their business It’s important to note 62.27% of the (GHDCC) membership represents small businesses at the 0 9 employee level. Including the 10 24 employee level, which still constitutes a small business, reflecting almost 81% of our chamber membership is a small business.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

The Chamber has been hard at work following the “end of session” leg islation that made its way through Sacramento. Each month the GHD CC works with CalChamber and the Inland Empire Chamber Alliance to research, study, and take positions on potential legislation that affects our business members. Being involved with these two groups gives us opportunities to meet various state legislators such as our Attorney General Rob Bonta who addressed the IECA group with his vision for California and a multitude of other topics in August.

The monthly Legislative Zoom calls continue to be successful with attendance from 40-60 members each month. The September speaker, Benjamin Lopez from the Inland Empire Chamber Alliance, talked about the alli ance we have formed with the other Chambers in the Inland Empire Region and the power we have when we all work together collectively. In addition, at these meetings you will hear from our elected officials or their staff on updates for our High Desert Region…so mark your calendars for the third Thursday of each month at 9 am.

If you have legislation that is affecting your business, please call either Mark Creffield (707) 365-2990 or Shannon Shannon (760) 220-6590.

The holiday season is upon us, but as a business owner, you already know that. For many businesses, this is the most profitable time of year. For some it’s exciting, and for others, it’s a little nerve-wracking. Here are 6 ideas for you to prepare and grow your small business during the Holiday Season:

1) Set Sales Goals

You can’t know what you need to prepare for the holiday season without knowing your goals. Sit down with your trusted team members and carve out goals for hitting different targets along the way from now until the end of the year. Define your goals as the minimum goals you need to reach, your expected goals, and your stretch goals. Don’t only define these goals in terms of revenue. Add any oth er goals you may have such as customer engagement and social media following.

2) Create a Holiday-Focused Marketing Campaign

Use our holiday-crazed society as a benefit to your business. We’re programmed to LOVE holidays, es pecially the present buying season. Don’t be shy about it, let your target audience know that you have what they need and since you’re a small business, you actually care about them, so you’ll do it better than the big guys.

3) Make a Plan to Stock Up on Extra Inventory

You’ve done your best to anticipate the crowds, their needs, and be prepared, but was it enough? Make sure you have a plan to purchase extra inventory quickly if your holiday sales are better than expect ed.

4) Decorate Your Windows and Store

Even the “grinches” of the world secretly love the holidays, and they’ll love coming into your festive store. Take some time to decorate your storefront for the season. It’ll draw the eyes of passersby and bring them in. We know you don’t have the budget of Macy’s or Tiffany’s, but a bit of holiday cheer will help your bottom line. Here are a few tips on decorating your storefront.

6 TIPS TO AN OUTSTANDING HOLIDAY SEASON

5) Train Your Seasonal Employees

You know you’ll be busier than usual this holiday season, so you hired a couple of extra employees. Invest your time and train them properly. Even though you may not see its worth now, the better their training, the better experience your customers will have, and the less stressed you’ll be about an unex pected rush.

6) Invest in New Software

Have you been eyeing new software? Whether you’re in need of updated bookkeeping, inventory track ing, or employee management systems. The holidays are busy enough, buy yourself this early holiday gift and enjoy the perks of your business run smoother and spend more time with your family, friends, or alone with some peace & quiet.
