Hotel employees jet off to New York
Recognised for their hard work and dedication has secured a trip to the 'Big Apple' for two local employees.
Each month at The Killarney Park and The Ross, four awards are given to team members in recognition of excellence in the areas of friendliness, respect, teamwork, and delivering an exceptional guest experience.
This year at their Christmas party, the 'Most Valued Employees' for both hotels were recognised, and the award recipients for 2022 were Sheila Fahy, a Chef at The Killarney Park for over nine years, and Adam Kania, Sous Chef who has worked at The Ross Hotel for 13 years.
"Sheila and Adam embody the values we strive to achieve, and their dedication and commitment are greatly appreciated," said Marcus Treacy, General Manager of The Killarney Park.
As winners of the 'Most Valued Employees' award, Sheila and Adam will each receive a trip for two to New York City, a testament to The Killarney Park and The Ross hotels’ commitment to rewarding and recognising their employees.
'Great Place to Work' certification
The Killarney Park is proud to announce its recent certification as a 'Great Place to Work'. This prestigious recognition is based on employee feedback and demonstrates The Killarney Parks' commitment to creating a positive and supportive work environment for its staff.
The 'Great Place to Work' programme evaluates companies on various factors including trust in leadership, fairness and respect, and camaraderie among employees. The Killarney Park received high marks in all categories and was acknowledged for its supportive and inclusive company culture.
"We are honoured to receive this recognition," Marcus added.
"Creating a positive and inclusive workplace environment is a top priority for us and it is wonderful to see the efforts of our team recognised. Our employees are the backbone of our organisation, and their satisfaction is key to our success."
The Killarney Park, along with its sister hotel The Ross, strive to create an environment for their employees that encourages them to work together and give their guests the best service.
The Killarney Park reopened for the season yesterday (Thursday) having undergone an extensive ground floor refurbishment.

A private developer has been given planning permission to build 249 new residential units at Upper Park Road.
The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.
The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.
“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.
Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.
Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.
One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.
Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.
“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.
One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.
A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:
“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.
“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.
“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.
“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.
“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.
“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
