Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is observed annually in May to celebrate the contributions that generations of AAPIs have made to American history, society, and culture. In honor of AAPI Month, the CCSNJ has put together our 'Diverse But United' Initiative, where we would like to highlight our Asian American and Pacific Islander members.
Throughout the month of May we look forward to spotlighting our AAPI members on the Chamber's website and social media platforms.

AT&T Business Raises the Bar for Business Phone Service in NJ, nationwide with AT&T Office@Hand
By: Joseph Divis
Interim President - AT&T New Jersey

AT&T Business erases the line between business wireline and mobile phone service with AT&T Office@Hand Wireless. Available today, AT&T Office@Hand Wireless introduces game-changing communication tools for businesses to remove complexity and communicate more efficiently and effectively. In today’s ultra-competitive environment, this can mean delivering better service, building lasting customer relationships and improving employee productivity.
The future of work can be summed up with one word—flexibility. As South Jersey businesses continue to assess how to optimize their operations and plot their next moves, flexibility will be critical to growth and success. According to recent studies, as many as 74% of employers plan to allow their employees to work from home permanently.
No matter their size, industry or location, phones continue to serve as a business gateway for revenue generation and collaborative problem solving. As things evolve, it may grow even more critical.
Whether the workforce is in the office, at home or even the café down the street, AT&T Office@Hand Wireless empowers users with a single phone number that allows businesses to maintain a high-performing voice presence across all devices—mobile, desk phones, tablets and personal computers.
My colleague Rich Shaw, vice president, Voice and Collaboration for AT&T Business commented: “While the pandemic accelerated the needs of businesses to decentralize their operations, we’ve seen this trending for years. Businesses need the tools to activate their workforce from anywhere to compete, grow and even survive in today’s environment. AT&T Office@Hand Wireless gives them a communications tool providing a powerful way to adapt to shifts on the playing field.”

"Never walk into an event loud and acting like you own the place. Walk in quietly but confidently and know you own the place. It's great if people say about you, "Do you know such and such" but it's better when they say "You need to know such and such". This isn't a high school and this isn't a popularity contest, this is the business world and if you're sincere it will be appreciated."

For over a year, COVID-19 has changed how New Jersey residents and businesses live and operate. Businesses were forced to close, employees worked from home, less fortunate individuals were laid off or furloughed, and students moved to virtual classrooms. As the number of positive cases in New Jersey rose early in the pandemic, it remained unknown how long these changes would need to be in place and the state tried to strike a balance of ensuring residents safety and their strong desire to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
