As we enter a Holiday weekend, @isme_ie has advice on handling last minute notification from staff that they can’t come to work. How you handle these moments - and the days that follow - defines your leadership and sets the tone for your team's culture. isme.ie/absences-during-publ…

"It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do." Steve Jobs. @NeilPMcDonnell of @isme_ie wonders why the Government seems to ignore advice, not just from ISME, but from the @centralbank_ie and many others

@isme_ie welcomes some positive measures, but #Budget2027 fails to address long-term risks facing indigenous enterprise and once again missed an opportunity to strengthen the competitiveness, resilience and scaling potential of Irish-owned businesses. isme.ie/isme-response-to-bud…

After months of sharing essential policies to key stakeholders in Government, @isme_ie hopes Small Business owners get the support they so desperately need. Never in the field of Ireland’s economic success have so many relied on decisions from so few.
#Budget2027 #SME
Clearly the phrase that's been agreed at cabinet for #Budget2027 is that it will be a "Budget for Workers". Small Business owners are "workers" too!

Addressing Ireland's high business death rate would not actually cost much money, but it would mean prioritising the development of indigenous enterprise, something @IRLDeptFinance has yet to do.

After a bruising 2 weeks for SMEs on several fronts, @isme_ie latest Members' update looks ahead with some much needed purpose and optimism. And how our Indigenous Enterprise policy demands Government understands long-term supports of small & medium business MUST be a priority.

Wishing @isme_ie staff, members, and all who work in SMEs across the country a Happy Easter. The Everyday Entrepreneurs who own these small businesses are local heroes who work incredibly hard to provide for their employees and their families. They deserve our support.
