Double celebrations for The Brehon Hotel and Spa

The wonderful team at The Brehon have not one, but two reasons to celebrate this week.

Their hotel was named as one of a select few in Ireland to receive the Best Employer Certification from Workbly, which identifies organisations who score in a high percentile in a number of key areas including; communications, training, culture and employee engagement.

“We are overjoyed to have been presented with the Workbly Best Employer Award. This certification places The Brehon firmly in the top percentage of hotels in Ireland, and shows that our hotel is not only a rewarding place to work, but also, has so much to offer to current and future employees,” Sinead Murphy, General Manager, said. Following on from an employee survey, the results were independently assessed by a team of experts in the employee engagement space.

“The Brehon’s core values focus on de- is to get from one area on the map by programming the Bee-Bot with instructions and navigation throughout its journey from A to B. livering exceptional service standards to our guests, and without our incredible employees, this wouldn’t be possible. The culture of our organisation is centric to our staff, and we’re delighted to see such rewarding results from our recent employee survey,” Caroline Daly, People and Culture Manager, added.

Team play among pupils, concentration, anticipation and memorisation of programmes are done without realising that they are working on their learning.

"The Bee-Bots have arrived in St Oliver's as part of our Changemaker School project. The goal of the project is to promote children's learning, problem solving and critical thinking skills," teacher Leanna O'Brien told the Killarney Advertiser. "The children love programming the BeeBots. It encourages learning in such a fun and interactive way."

Senior Infants were also selected as one of the winning classes for Scríobh Leabhair with Foras na Gaeilge, after they compiled a colourful book with Irish themes including a drawing by each child in the class.

Following on from their recent accolade, The Brehon hosted their Annual Employee Awards, in recognition of the contribution their staff have made over the past 12 months.

The main award winners were; Aoife Lynch – Employee of The Year, Caitriona Ashe – Manager of The Year, Tania Almeida – Best New Starter and a Special Recognition Award was presented to Liz O’Sullivan who recently celebrated her 30 years tenure with the O’Donoghue Family.
