Dear Member,   

In this week's e-zine, we bring you four tips for managing absenteeism in your business.

Each week in the SFA e-zine, we will profile a different government support available to small businesses, in this edition we focus on the simplified VAT scheme of retailers.

We bring you details on the announcement of €3.4 million suite of Brexit supports for micro and small businesses and the increased pay for security operatives which took effect on 1 June. We also provide information on a research partnership between Skillnets and DIT which was launched with a management conference last week.

Register for the next SFA webinar taking place tomorrow (7 June) on managing the retirement process. View details of upcoming events in June on making social media work for you on 9 June and E3 Dublin taking place on 29 June.

Unlock your potential and boost the productivity of your staff with our upcoming training courses. We also provide a summary of recent press coverage. 

As always, we’d love to hear from you about any queries you may have, issues you wish to have raised with Government or other stakeholders and your ideas on how we can improve the business environment for us all. Please contact me on tel: 01 605 1626 or e-mail: linda.barry@sfa.ie or tweet: @SFA_Irl or visit: www.sfa.ie.

Kind regards, 

Linda Barry
