Local HR team nominated for prestigious award

By Michelle Crean
Their work is very much a team effort and now a group of ladies at the Gleneagle are up for a prestigious award.
The company's HR team has been named a finalist in the annual Chartered Institute of Personnel Development Ireland (CIPD) HR Awards. But they will have to wait until next month to find out if they are a winner.
The CIPD is the professional body for human resources and people development in Ireland and the awards are considered the most prestigious of their kind in Ireland.
The Gleneagle Group has been shortlisted for one of the most hotly contested awards - and is the only hotel group to feature under the Talent Management category.
The Gleneagle are facing stiff competition from Boots Ireland, Bus Éireann, the Department of Foreign Affairs, Mater Private and Tusla Child and Family Agency.
“This nomination is a testament to the work we all do across the hotel to attract, engage, train and retain people,” Eilis Loughrey, Director of People and Culture for The Gleneagle Group, said.
“It is very much a team effort but we must give particular credit to Sylwia Godzik our Recruitment Manager for her work in developing new pipelines for talent throughout Europe.”
The HR team’s next step is to present their talent management strategies to the CPID judging panel. The overall winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony in the Mansion House, Dublin on February 24.

This month HeartBeat Killarney has come up with a new slant on safe cooking.
A free copy of the cook book ‘101 Square Meals – Easy recipes for everyday life’ will be available to all those who come early to the May meeting on Tuesday night.
This book from Safefood which is supported by the HSE & MABS will come to life on the night as chefs from The International Hotel Killarney have very kindly volunteered to cook some of the recipes in the book for a tasting session during the meeting.
Nutritionist Paula Duggan will be on hand to discuss the nutritional benefits of each recipe prepared for tasting. She can also advise on any tweaks required to meet individual tastes and needs.
There will be four main recipes available to taste during the course of the evening; Meat Loaf, Baked Stuffed Fish, Chicken Fingers and Spanish Tortillas. There is a fifth recipe for tasting on the night but all that Chairperson Billy O’Sullivan will say about it is “It will be available at the end of the night with a cup of tea and we hope it will send everyone home with a smile on their face.”
This is a night that the HeartBeat group has worked long and hard to make happen.
“It came together because of the amazing generosity of Tracy Coyne, Catriona White and the wonderful Kitchen Team at the International.” said Billy. In these times when the price of foods has risen dramatically it is still possible to eat healthily with the guidance from this book. There are lots of tips also on food storage, freezing food, kitchen hygiene and food allergens.
HeartBeat meetings are FREE and all are welcome to come along on Tuesday May 30th at 8pm at the Parish Centre beside The Church of the Resurrection Park Road V93 WN32.
