    Manufacturing Boost, Healthcare Cost Concerns, Voluntary Benefits, Ethics

    The SBA continues to make changes to revitalize manufacturing in America, and small businesses could be the biggest beneficiary of new programs, loan access, and training. A CEO of an insurance company throws up a warning flag to small businesses about rising healthcare costs and the potential impact on employees. Gene Marks also talks about how voluntary benefits impact talent acquisition and retention, citing that more than two-thirds of employers think they’re important as part of the compensation package. And ethics at the leadership level are influencing employees’ decisions to stay or go. Listen to the episode.

    Over-employment, Remote Work Hours, Gen Z Finances, Auto-Renewals

    Employers are getting wise to their over-employed employees – the ones working multiple jobs on the clock and dime of their main boss. Gene Marks says this type of flexibility might be necessary to keep good employees, and he’s OK with it as long as individuals are finishing their work satisfactorily and on time. Speaking of time, Gene points out a report that shows remote workers clocking 2.65 hours less than in-office workers. Plus, Gen Zers scored poorly in financial literacy, startups reach near-historic highs, and small businesses can take a victory lap after winning a lawsuit that allows for the continuation of auto-renewals on subscriptions and memberships.

    Some Permanence in Tax and Spending Package Will Benefit Businesses

    With the tax and spending bill now law, there is much the government needs to do to implement the changes that include many tax deduction carryovers made permanent from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Gene Marks offers his take, noting businesses should prepare to take advantage of changes to bonus depreciation and research and development – both now returned to 100%. Business owners will have a cap increase of $2 that will be tax exempt on their estates. Plus, employers should plan for changes to the taxes on overtime and tips for eligible employees.

    Consumer Confidence Dips, Jobs Steady, Handbooks Hacked, AI Writing is Meh

    As consumer confidence backslides in June, surprising analysts whose projections were more positive, businesses should plan for a potential pause in purchasing. Tariffs and inflation fears are hitting Main Street. Gene Marks points to the steady job growth reported in the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch during the first half of 2025 as a plus but wage growth lags behind inflation. A new cyber threat involves employee handbooks, so Gene suggests shoring up training, and for all those leaning heavily into AI to write, the CEO of LinkedIn says it’s not great and could hurt credibility.

    Interest Rate Holds, Big Companies Shed Workers, Get a Succession Plan

    As the Federal Reserve holds steady on the key bank lending rate, host Gene Marks says businesses might take wind with the hint that the interest rate might be cut two more times in 2025, making funding more accessible. Small businesses might soon have more accessibility to more talent, as big companies are looking at making labor cuts. The local economy might take a hit with job cuts, but it does ease labor pressures for some. Also, a recent survey shows that many older owners are willing to sell their business but do not have a succession plan – 54%, in fact, lack one. Meanwhile, Millennial and Gen Z buyers are out there, so the time might be right.
