Employee Engagement……

Employee engagement is derived from studies of morale or a group’s willingness to accomplish organizational objectives which began in the 1920′s. The value of morale to organizations was matured by US Army researchers during WWII to predict unity of effort and attitudinal battle-readiness before combat.

In the postwar mass production society that required unity of effort in execution, (group) morale scores were used as predictors of speed, quality and militancy. With the advent of the knowledge worker and emphasis on individual talent management (stars), a term was needed to describe an individual’s emotional attachment to the organization, fellow associates and the job. Thus the birth of the term “employee engagement” which is an individual emotional phenomenon whereas morale is a group emotional phenomenon of similar characteristics.

Funding small businesses in Hertfordshire…..

SME Finance is the funding of small and medium sized enterprises and represents a major function of the general business finance

market – in which capital for firms of types is supplied, acquired, and costed/priced. Capital is supplied through the business finance market in the form of bank loans and overdrafts; leasing and hire-purchase arrangements; equity/corporate bond issues; venture capital or private equity; and asset-based finance such as factoring and invoice discounting.[1]

However, not all business finance is external/commercially supplied through the market. Much finance is internally generated by businesses out of their own earnings and/or supplied informally as trade credit (i.e., delays in paying for purchases of goods and services).
