We Love Remote Work…But Remote Work Doesn’t Love Us Back

4/6/2023

By Dr. Ellen Fitzenrider, Body Harmony of Arlington

We are in the midst of a conundrum playing out between post-pandemic employees, (who kinda got used to the idea of working remotely in their pajamas) and businesses large and small who have seen negative impacts of remote work in various ways: productivity, bottom line, and company culture. Companies are strategizing on how to get employees back in to the workplace.
​
While you can find research to back up either party’s side, I wish to weigh -in as an advocate for a 3rd side: the side of our bodies, which have suffered from remote work, sitting at a computer for vast, unbroken long shifts and Zoom meetings. Or worse: working on our laptop on our squishy couch.

IRS Warning About "Dirty Dozen" Tax Scams

3/1/2023

​

​The IRS works hard every year to communicate new or prevalent illegal schemes perpetrated by scammers against millions of taxpayers. Most IRS communications about scams are posted on their website or shared in press releases. But last month, your Chamber got a chance to hear directly from an IRS representative about how businesses and individuals can protect themselves from falling victim to a tax scam. These scams are designed to steal money or financial information, or to charge for a free service or a service for which the victim does not qualify.

​Annually, the IRS lists its “Dirty Dozen” Top Tax Scams to warn businesses and individual taxpayers
about financial arrangements or offerings that tax authorities have found to be abusive. The IRS urges taxpayers to think twice before putting their money into transactions that could be aggressively promoted scams or paying for services before determining whether are legitimate or available free of charge.

There are many perks to being a member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. ​One benefit to membership in the Arlington Chamber is the ability to rent our Boardroom or Small Conference Room free of charge. This opportunity is perfect for the entrepreneur that may not have a meeting space, a nonprofit organization that wants to have a Board of Directors meeting, a potential client meeting where you may not want to meet at a public location, or to have a central meeting location in Arlington.

Interning at the Chamber

By Maxime Mullier, Intern, Arlington Chamber of Commerce ​
​

As a rising senior in college, I realized a stage in my life was ending. For the first time, I had to make important choices that would impact the beginning of my adult life. Researching and looking for internships was easy, but after being denied by several organizations, it began to take a toll on me. One of my friends recommended I look into the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. What attracted me to the Chamber is how they contribute to Arlington’s growth by supporting and providing resources to businesses in order to prosper. Organizing networking and community events creates a space for cooperation between businesses. It grants them opportunities to hear the voice of their biggest supporters, the Arlington community. I am a senior at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. The college I attend partners with the Lutheran College Washington Semester to bring political science students to the Arlington-Washington D.C. area. The program aims for students to gain experience in their field and expose them to the culture of these cities.

If you look around your office, how many devices do you see? Now, how many of those are old computers that you have replaced but still have sitting around taking up valuable space? You probably already know that you can’t just take this stuff and toss it in the trash can. So, what do you do with that unused equipment?

Hello, fellow Arlingtonians!

I am John Musso, the new Government Affairs Manager at the Chamber. I’m more than happy to be in a role where I can support the Arlington community.

I graduated from George Washington University in 2019 with a degree in political science and public policy. Previously, I spent three years as a Local Government Associate for Stateside Associates in Rosslyn. I’m originally a native of New Jersey, but I’ve called Arlington “home” for the last three years. I’ve always had an interest in local politics and enacting change at the municipal level. I’m excited to join the Chamber in a position that fits my interests and focuses so well.

Are you overwhelmed and stressed at work? Turns out 30% of ALL workers are. Wherever you are in an organization, you're probably seeing some stress, exhaustion, burnout, and maybe even resignations. 

What’s worse: 56% of employees believe their bosses don't even care about how they are faring under the strain of a post-Covid workplace. Meanwhile 90% of bosses believe their employees are happy with leadership’s engagement on well-being and work-life balance.
