One Voice Newsletter

Blue skies, great friends, and a lot of good golf made for a fun day at our Annual Golf Tournament on Monday. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped support the SCMC PAC.

From there, the week kept moving with the seventh stop of our Vision and Voice Tour in Myrtle Beach. Just two stops remain, Greer and Aiken, and we’d love to see you there. Register here.

And I’ll leave you with some positive news – South Carolina led the nation in labor force growth over the past year, growing 2.4% and adding nearly 64,000 people to our workforce. That’s a strong sign for our state and a great way to head into the weekend.

Four on Friday

1. Introducing the SCMC Member Portal
   SCMC has transitioned to MemberSuite, our newly launched member management system. Through the SCMC Member Portal, members can update their contact information, register for upcoming events, and manage their profile. We also encourage you to share the portal with colleagues at your organization who would like to create a profile and receive SCMC member communications, event updates, and other information. Visit the SCMC Member Portal to get started.
2. SCDEW Announces New Unemployment Insurance Handbook
   SCDEW announced the publication of a new handbook to help employers navigate the unemployment insurance program. In the handbook, employers can find answers to common unemployment insurance questions, better understand their rights and responsibilities as a South Carolina employer, explore topics ranging from wage reports to SOC codes, and access a variety of resources designed to simplify the entire UI process for businesses. You can find the Employer Handbook at dew.sc.gov/employer-handbook.

   This week we kicked off a look back at SCMC’s first year and the results our members made possible. We invite you to follow along and share it with a business that should be part of the conversation.
