The Evolving American Work Ethic

By Contributor February 26, 2025

Opinion

By Allison Ebner

The American work ethic has undergone significant transformations throughout history, shaped by economic shifts, cultural influences, and technological advancements. From the basic roots of early America to the rise of the gig economy in the 21st century, the way Americans perceive and engage with work has continuously evolved, and we are experiencing seismic shifts in the relationship between employees and their attitude about work.

The foundation of the American work ethic can be traced back to the early settlers, who emphasized diligence, self-reliance, and frugality. These values, rooted in religious beliefs, became central to the country’s cultural identity. As the U.S. transitioned from an economy built around agriculture to an industrial one in the 19th century, work took on new forms. Factory jobs demanded long hours and strict discipline, reinforcing the notion that hard work was the path to success and upward mobility.

The 20th century saw the rise of corporate America, bringing with it the standardization of the workday. The 9-to-5 schedule became the norm, providing structure and stability for millions of workers. Labor unions played a critical role in advocating for fair wages, reasonable hours, and improved working conditions, leading to the establishment of labor laws that continue to shape employment today. The mid-century period was marked by a belief in company loyalty, where long-term employment with a single employer was the ideal.

With the advent of computers and the internet in the late 20th century, the nature of work began to shift dramatically. Automation and globalization disrupted traditional industries, leading to the decline of manufacturing jobs and the rise of knowledge-based work. The increasing demand for productivity and connectivity blurred the boundaries between work and personal life. As a result, the conversation around work-life balance gained momentum, challenging the notion that success could be achieved only through relentless work.

A big shift was felt in the early 21st century, brought about by the gig economy and characterized by freelance and contract work. Platforms like Uber, Upwork, and Fiverr allowed workers to have more flexibility, but also introduced new challenges, such as job insecurity and lack of benefits. This shift reflected changing attitudes toward work, where autonomy and purpose became as important as stability and financial gain.

Today, the American work ethic continues to evolve in response to technological advancements, generational shifts, and cultural changes. Millennial and Gen-Z workers prioritize meaningful work, mental health, and work-life balance more than previous generations. The rise of remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has further reshaped workplace expectations, emphasizing flexibility and results over rigid schedules.

As artificial intelligence and automation continue to redefine job roles, the American workforce must adapt once again. Lifelong learning, adaptability, and innovation will become the cornerstones of the new work ethic, ensuring that the American spirit of hard work remains relevant in an ever-changing world.

So how should we, as employers, move forward to attract, retain and motivate our workforce? My first piece of advice for the Baby Boomer and Gen-X C-suite leaders is to let go of the notion that the work ethic of yesterday is coming back. That ship has sailed, and the faster we can embrace this perspective, the more effective we can be at creating our optimal workforce of tomorrow.

How do we create engagement with employees today, where productivity and accountability are part of the successful equation?

• Foster a positive work culture. Create a work environment with transparent and open communication, where expectations are clearly outlined and there are rewards and incentives for hitting goals.

• Provide growth and development opportunities. Employees are more engaged when they see a clear path for career advancement. Offering professional-development programs, mentorship, and upskilling opportunities ensures that workers remain motivated and committed to their roles.

• Emphasize purpose and mission alignment. Employees want to feel that their work has meaning. Organizations that connect employees to a greater purpose and align their roles with company values tend to have higher levels of engagement and productivity.

Project goals include reducing wait times, increasing patients’ comfort and privacy, enhancing staff communications, and improving the standard of care. The undertaking is one of the largest capital investments in the hospital’s history, and this is the final year of the campaign. Florence Bank is a loyal supporter of Cooley Dickinson and, over the years, has donated to many campaigns, most recently the new Childbirth Center, North Building, and Cancer Center, and has supported many programmatic needs, such as nursing development. Construction in the ED is ongoing, with a new addition in the works and pods being constructed and renovated in phases. Dukette said ED staff have adeptly worked around the construction, reassessing and realigning workflows as necessary.

STCC to Replace 164 Windows in Garvey Hall

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) has launched an extensive window-replacement project at Garvey Hall, an historic building on campus, thanks to $792,000 in Fair Share funding from the Healey-Driscoll administration. The window-replacement effort, managed by STCC’s Facilities Department, combines the need for historic preservation with modern energy-efficiency improvements. Facilities and Kuhn Riddle Architects of Amherst worked with the National Park Service to specify a window that met the historic and energy-efficient requirements. The project involves replacing 164 windows on the west side of the building, facing the campus green. Funding for the project comes from the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance through the state’s Fair Share Amendment funds. The allocation of these funds specifically supports projects aimed at energy efficiency, making this effort a match for the college’s needs. The phased project began on Dec. 9 and is expected to be completed by early February.

Big Y Donates 1 Million Meals to Food Banks

SPRINGFIELD — Big Y’s annual Sack Hunger campaign provides funds for four food banks within its two-state marketing area. In turn, these food banks support local soup kitchens, food pantries, senior food programs, daycare centers, and many others of the 2,100 member agencies they help every day. Their goal is to maximize access to nutritious food and other resources that support food security for those at risk of hunger. Throughout this past holiday season, customers and employees generously supported Sack Hunger at Big Y supermarkets and Table & Vine Fine Wines and Liquors. Every $5 donation brought 10 meals to those in need of support. Additionally, Big Y added more ways to boost their efforts with specific proceeds from the produce, floral, and meat departments, along with a portion of every one of Big Y’s family of private-label brands. Big Y’s Sack Hunger campaign started in 2010, when 740 meals were donated. With this year’s 1 million meals, the program continues to expand its efforts to support those in need. Big Y’s Sack Hunger donation is part of its ongoing support throughout the year, including almost daily donations of meat, fresh produce, and bakery products, along with grocery, frozen, and dairy items. The four regional food banks are the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, the Worcester County Food Bank, the Greater Boston Food Bank, and Connecticut Foodshare.

AGAWAM — The Irene E. and George A.

Celebrating the Difference Makers

By Editorial February 12, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

The name came naturally.

Indeed, as the leadership team at BusinessWest was finalizing plans to create a new recognition program back in 2009, all that remained was a name. And as they talked about the individuals, nonprofits, and institutions that could, and would, be honored in the years to come, Difference Makers was the logical fit.

It says it all, and it describes, efficiently and succinctly, the dozens of honorees recognized since we launched this endeavor 16 years ago. It’s the same with the eight honorees for 2025, all of whom are making a difference in their own way, as is made clear in the stories in the special center section of this issue. They are:

• Jennie Adamczyk, executive director of Providence Ministries for the Needy (PMN). She oversees programs that include a soup kitchen, a pantry, sober homes for men, and a warming shelter. But it’s not what she does that makes her a Difference Maker, but show she does it, with determination and imagination that mirrors that of PMN founder Sr. Margaret McCleary: if she sees a need, she works aggressively to meet it.

• Sheryl Blancato, CEO of Second Chance Animal Services. She’s a true believer that all animals deserve a second chance, and from humble beginnings 26 years ago, she and her team have created a wide-ranging nonprofit, including four veterinary hospitals, that helps more than 56,000 animals each year. Her goal has always been to help not just pets, but their families, in an effort to keep them together.

• Andrea Bordenca, CEO of DESCO Service. Yes, she’s the leader of a successful healthcare emergency field-service response organization, but she’s a Difference Maker because of her many initiatives to bring people together, create dialogue, build community, and help young people, women, and other constituencies become the best versions of themselves.

• Mychal Connolly, owner of Stand Out Truck. He’s a serial entrepreneur and the successful owner of a unique marketing business, but he’s a Difference Maker because of the way he’s become a mentor, role model, and true inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly young people, and for the way he’s helped many of them overcome challenges and get off the ground or to the next level.

• John Delaney, director of Ride to Remember. When a fellow Springfield police officer, Kevin Ambrose, died in the line of duty, Delaney helped create what has become one of the region’s premier bicycling events — not a competitive ride, but a communal one that has raised awareness of fallen heroes and money for a host of important charitable causes across the region.

• John Doleva, president and CEO of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. When he took this job, he expected to stay a few years and then return to the sporting-goods world from which he came. Instead, he’s stayed more than 20 years, leading the Hall through myriad challenges while also becoming greatly involved in the Western Mass. community, especially with programs involving young people and sports.

• The Michael J. Dias Foundation. From the crushing loss of her son to drug addiction, Grace Dias created a supportive community of fellow grieving parents — and then created something more: an organization that operates three (soon to be four) sober homes where individuals in recovery can develop resilience, responsibility, accountability, and a chance to move on to a successful life of independence.

• Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. A star athlete in high school and college, and a participant in marathons and Ironman competitions today, he makes frequent use of sports phrases and metaphors, especially those involving the importance of teamwork. He practices what he preaches and leads by example, and has built a strong team that is committed to getting involved and giving back.

Effective Communication Is Key

By Sam Borsari

Emerging human-resources (HR) professionals are faced with a rapidly changing business environment, which has greatly emphasized the value of effective communication. Hybrid and remote workforces have become a reality for many, which means there are greater communication barriers than there were several years ago. Additionally, the shifting workforce brings generational differences that must be addressed.

Emerging HR professionals need to ask themselves, ‘how am I communicating with intention to maintain expectations, engagement, and culture for those working in various capacities?’ To make matters more challenging, these professionals are also learning how to navigate a seemingly complex political environment, which has triggered swift employment-law changes. Clearly communicating these updates while working to reduce internal conflict is essential to mitigate risk and ensure understanding.

Coinciding with effective communication, emerging HR professionals should focus their attention on developing their emotional intelligence (EQ) — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage both their own emotions and their relationships with others. EQ is comprised of self-awareness, self-management, motivation, empathy, and social skills.

While this may seem apparent to some, emotional intelligence is essential for emerging HR professionals, as it helps foster trust among their employees and strengthens internal relationships. By having a high level of emotional intelligence, emerging professionals will be able to lead by example and encourage a culture of collaboration and open communication. It will also allow them to better manage difficult conversations with more confidence.

Emerging HR professionals are in a unique and exciting position. They bring fresh eyes and a new perspective to pre-established processes. However, implementing change within an organization as an emerging professional comes with challenges, especially when it comes to gaining the respect and influence of senior leaders. This hurdle can create a mental roadblock, limiting the individual’s ability to drive change and showcase their potential leadership capabilities.

This is why honing influence and relationship-building skills is essential for emerging HR professionals. While this doesn’t happen overnight, developing business acumen and learning to align HR initiatives with broader business goals is a way to start. These skills will allow emerging professionals to have a voice at the table and a chance at greater success within their HR role.

If emerging HR professionals aren’t initiating change themselves, they are at the forefront of managing it, whether due to evolving employment laws, shifting business landscapes, or changing workplace expectations and/or culture. This is now more apparent than ever. Emerging HR professionals must be able to guide their team through transitionary periods and help them navigate uncertainty. These moments present a valuable opportunity to demonstrate leadership ability and resiliency even in high-pressure situations.

This makes adaptability and change management incredibly important skills to develop. To build on this, emerging professionals should focus on staying up to date with compliance changes, embrace the idea of continuous learning, and develop strategic procedures to support their organization through periods of transition.

Supporting the Local Food Economy

By Editorial January 29, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

In talking with Alisa Klein about Grow Food Northampton for the story that begins on page 25, she shared some sobering statistics in explaining why the nonprofit’s work is so important.

One is 30% — that’s the percentage of families in Hampden and Hampshire counties that are not able to access enough healthy, nutritious food on a regular basis. Many of those are single-mother households, and for families of color, the rate is much higher.

Alarmingly, that 30% figure actually shot up to close to 50% during the pandemic a few years ago. In response to that crisis, GFN launched a community food-distribution project along with the Northampton Survival Center, which delivered food weekly to 16 low-income housing sites.

“Each of our organizations has continued to do our work separately since the pandemic ended,” Klein told BusinessWest, “but it was the pandemic that kind of set off community insecurity in a new way.”

Adapting to changing needs is critical to the work that she and Michael Skillicorn, the organization’s co-executive directors, along with their teams of dedicated staffers and volunteers, do. In fact, Grow Food Northampton has been evolving since its origin in 2009, when a group of individuals banded together to save a couple of Florence farms — land that has since become a community farm that benefits local farmers, a community garden used by more than 400 local residents, a giving garden that grows thousands of pounds of food annually for food pantries and community meal sites, and much more, including a robust educational program.

The pandemic may have drawn sharp lines around the importance of a local food economy, Klein said, but it doesn’t take a crisis to understand why it’s always important to support farming, help low-income people access food, and, as a byproduct, reduce the pollution created by transporting fresh food long distances.

In Western Mass., any support of local agriculture is welcome, whether it’s the grants, foundations, and donations that fuel GFN’s efforts to help small-scale growers or the many funding partners of the Harold Grinspoon Charitable Foundation’s Local Farmer Awards, which have assisted with capital projects on farms for the past 11 years (the latest winners will be announced in April).

Because, as Klein said, “if you lose farmland, you can’t grow your own food, and you become dependent on the national food system.” And if national crisis strikes — and even if it doesn’t — it’s good to have a safety net close to home.

Strong Partnership

In 2024, Monson Savings Bank (MSB) continued its strong support of one of its community partners, Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Services (MLKFS). The bank supported the MLKFS Be Love Project and the inclusion of the Springfield-based nonprofit in BusinessWest’s 2024 Giving Guide, and was a platinum-level sponsor of the organization’s first-ever Reunion Weekend, a three-day celebration.

Pictured: MLKFS President and CEO Shannon Rudder (second from right) with, from left, MSB’s Wil Morales, President and CEO Dan Moriarty, and Kylie LaPlante.

Caring Gesture

Florence Bank pledged a gift of $100,000 to Caring Health Center of Springfield and officially presented the award on Dec. 19 at the center. Among those at the check presentation were Caring Health Center President and CEO Tania Barber (pictured) and other leaders of the organization; Florence Bank President and CEO Matt Garrity (pictured) and other bank officials; and local dignitaries. The event underscored the need for health equity in the region’s diverse communities, and Barber told those in attendance that the bank’s donation offered the center a significant step toward the completion of its capital campaign.

Legendary Hall of Fame Award

At its 2024 convention, Maaco announced the recipient of the annual Tony Martino Legendary Hall of Fame award. Joe Houghton, owner of Maaco West Springfield in Massachusetts, was selected for this honor, which was created to recognize individuals who are not only exceptional brand ambassadors, but who serve as a positive influence for both the brand and their local community. As a veteran, Houghton (pictured at center with his team) devotes his time to supporting fellow veterans in his community. The center was also recently recognized by the Springfield Regional Chamber as a Super 60 honoree.

Haulin’ 4 Hunger

Advantage Truck Group employees recently delivered hundreds of non-perishable meals to seven community food pantries through its Haulin’ 4 Hunger program, including Our Community Table in Westfield. Since its inception in 2012, the Haulin’ 4 Hunger program has provided more than 80,000 meals and counting to help those in need.

Pictured: the Haulin’ 4 Hunger team of Advantage Truck Group employees and business partners, including Cummins, Dennis K. Burke, G. Lopes Construction, Global Partners, SelecTrucks of New England, UniBank, and Worcester Railers.

Community Commitment Award

Pictured: Community Bank Chief Human Resource & Administration Officer Maureen Gillan-Myer accepts the award during ABA’s annual convention on Oct. 29 in New York City.

Community Bank’s community-development program was nationally recognized with a 2024 ABA Foundation Community Commitment Award from the American Bankers Assoc. Foundation. Community Bank was chosen for its efforts in the volunteerism category. In 2023, the bank broke records for volunteerism and philanthropic investments across its network of more than 200 branches.

Understanding and Managing Contracts

By Contributor January 15, 2025

Opinion

By Sean Hogan

In the bustling world of modern business, contracts form the backbone of countless transactions, agreements, and partnerships. Yet, many businesses remain unaware of the myriad contracts that exist within their operations, particularly those for software and services. This oversight can lead to significant financial and operational pitfalls.

Contracts are not merely formalities; they are binding legal agreements that dictate the terms of business relationships. These documents encompass a wide range of commitments, from software licenses and service agreements to leases and supplier contracts. Unfortunately, the complexity and volume of these contracts can often lead businesses to lose track of their obligations, especially when it comes to the fine print.

A common feature in many business contracts, particularly for software and services, is the auto-renewal clause. These clauses are often buried in the small print, easily overlooked during the initial review. An auto-renewal clause stipulates that the contract will automatically renew for another term unless the client explicitly opts out, usually in writing, within a specified period.

Many businesses fall into the trap of neglecting these clauses, leading to unintended renewals. These renewals can range from a minimum of one year to as long as three to five years, depending on the contract. The implications of such automatic renewals can be profound, locking businesses into costly agreements that may no longer serve their needs or align with their strategic goals.

The financial impact of auto-renewals cannot be overstated. Consider a scenario where a business has multiple software subscriptions, each with an auto-renewal clause. If these contracts renew without the business’s knowledge, the company could find itself incurring substantial, unexpected expenses. These costs can quickly add up, straining the company’s budget and diverting funds from more critical projects.

To mitigate the risks associated with auto-renewals, businesses must implement robust contract-management practices. Tracking contracts involves maintaining a detailed and organized record of all agreements, including their terms, renewal dates, and termination clauses. This level of oversight ensures that businesses remain aware of their contractual obligations and can take proactive steps to manage renewals effectively.

Engaging legal counsel can provide invaluable support in managing business contracts. Legal professionals have the expertise to review contract terms, identify potential pitfalls, and negotiate favorable terms on behalf of the business. Their insights can help businesses navigate the complexities of contract law and ensure that their interests are protected.

Finally, fostering a culture of contract awareness within the organization is crucial. Employees at all levels should be educated on the importance of understanding and managing contracts. This includes training on how to read and interpret contract terms, recognizing the significance of auto-renewal clauses, and knowing the procedures for contract termination.

By promoting contract awareness, businesses can empower their teams to take an active role in managing contractual obligations. This collective effort can lead to more informed decision making, better risk management, and ultimately, a stronger financial position.

A Tradition of Entrepreneurship

By Editorial January 15, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

In 1996, BusinessWest created a new recognition program, its Top Entrepreneur Award. We did so to acknowledge this region’s deep history of entrepreneurship and to recognize those that are continuing that tradition today.

As for that history, you know the names — or many of them, anyway: Milton Bradley, Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, Charles and Frank Duryea; Everett Barney (clip-on ice skates), George Hendee (Indian Motocycle); Curtis and Prestley Blake (Friendly’s); Paul and Gerry D’Amour (Big Y), William Skinner (the Skinner Silk Mill) … the list goes on. And the people on that list created tens of thousands of jobs and helped shape the region.

Today, this tradition continues, although mostly with people creating dozens, and perhaps hundreds, of jobs, all of them vitally important to this region’s future. Indeed, entrepreneurship creates more than wealth — although it does that, too. It creates vibrancy in our communities, jobs (sometimes for generations of people), and opportunities for others to make their own mark.

This is why we recognize those that continue this region’s proud tradition of entrepreneurship with our annual award. Over the years, we’ve honored some traditional entrepreneurs — the Balise family of auto dealers, the D’Amours, the Falcone family (Rocky’s Hardware), and people like Paul Kozub, founder of V-One Vodka. We’ve also honored some non-traditional entrepreneurs, such as the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts; Andrew Scibelli, former president of Springfield Technical Community College; and Craig Melin, former president and CEO of Cooley Dickinson Hospital.

For 2024, we blend the past with the present and future by honoring John and Chris DeVoie, founders of the Hot Table chain of panini restaurants (see story on page 12).

Their story echoes many of those from the past. They started with an idea and started small, and eventually grew the venture. Indeed, from humble beginnings in the Breckwood Shoppes in Springfield, they have grown the chain to 13 locations across this region, into Eastern Mass., and also into Connecticut, with plans to continue growing and taking the concept to new markets.

Beyond growing their venture, the brothers DeVoie, along with third partner Rich Calcasola, have succeeded in creating a culture of giving back as well as a pattern of providing employment opportunities, especially to young people. These include all-important first and second jobs to high school and college students, who need the experience as well as the paycheck, but also opportunities to advance and take on leadership positions.

While doing all this, the partners have exemplified the traits of all successful entrepreneurs — vision, persistence, imagination, perseverance, and the ability to overcome adversity and learn from mistakes.

They share traits with Smith, Wesson, Bradley, Skinner, Barney, and three generations of the D’Amour family, and, like those others, they have become true inspirations to others.

They are making their own mark, but they are also carrying on a proud tradition, and that’s why they’re the Top Entrepreneurs for 2024.

Things We’d Like to See in 2025

By Editorial January 1, 2025

Opinion

Editorial

It’s a new year, and in keeping with what has become a tradition, we’ll take this opportunity in early January to list some things we’d like to see over the next 12 months — what should be an intriguing time, to say the least.

• More growth of new sectors. While traditional precision manufacturing, long a staple of the regional economy, has remained a constant, some other sectors, such as healthcare (especially hospitals) and higher education are struggling to some extent. Meanwhile, virtually all sectors, from banking to insurance to retail, are seeing consolidation, which usually translates into fewer jobs and higher vacancy rates with commercial real estate.

In this environment, the region needs growth in what would be considered non-traditional sectors. And there are opportunities in realms such as food science and food tech, clean energy and clean tech, and data centers, including a proposed, $3 billion project in Westfield that would be the largest of its kind in the state. Growth of these sectors and others represents the region’s best opportunity to create new jobs and perhaps replace those that will be lost in other areas.

• More creative use and re-use of commercial real estate. We’ve seen a lot of it in recent years, from former department stores converted into trampoline centers to the YMCA moving into Tower Square in Springfield; from artists moving into several old mills to Discovery Polytech Early College High School relocating to 1350 Main St., another office tower in downtown Springfield.

And we’ll need to see more it as sectors continue to shrink through consolidation and remote work continues to create more vacancies in office buildings. Creative re-use, be it housing, artists, schools, or small-business incubators, creates jobs and vibrancy.

• More people going to the office, and more often. Yes, there is a place for remote work and hybrid schedules — when such accommodations are needed, and maybe a day or two a week for those seeking a regular schedule of working from home. But having people in the office is better for businesses of all kinds, from the standpoints of communication, collaboration, and productivity, and better for communities and their central business districts.

Companies such as Amazon and even President-elect Trump are, or soon will be, ordering people back to work — or else. Business owners don’t need to be so demanding, we believe, but more work in the office and less remote work is good for the region’s economy.

• More entrepreneurship. Or even more, as the case may be. We’ve been encouraged by the efforts of several area agencies — from EforAll to area chambers of commerce to the Latino Economic Development Corp. — to encourage entrepreneurship among all constituencies, but especially women and minorities, and help businesses get off the ground and stay in business.

Such efforts not only enable people to work for themselves instead of someone else, they create jobs, fill some of those commercial real-estate vacancies, and create vibrancy in our gateway cities. Most of these businesses are small, as in very small, and most will not create more than a handful of jobs, but such ventures are an important source of growth for any region.
