Did you know that the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii founded Aloha United Way back in 1919? To celebrate that enduring partnership and the incredible work AUW continues to do for our community, this episode explores how businesses can support workforce well-being through programs like ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and AUW’s 211 resource helpline. Guest host Kara Doles Hughes of Leihoohie also discuss with AUW's Michelle Bartell how employers can address financial insecurity, improve employee retention, and make a lasting impact, especially as Hawai‘i continues to face rising costs and economic challenges.
As the “Voice of Business” in Hawaii, the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii is a statewide, non-profit organization whose mission is to serve as the advocate for business in Hawaii. Learn more online at cochawaii.org, and follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
