‘Double’ for Killashee

Killashee Hotel is officially a “Great Place To Work” as it was awarded certification for a second year running in December 2024. Killashee Hotel’s journey with Great Place To Work started in 2022 through the Employer Excellence programme that was launched with Failte Ireland. Certification is based solely on the employee experience and their feedback which is captured through an annual survey.

Ger Alley, general manager of Killashee Hotel, says:

“What has been hugely important is providing our people with a voice and implementing changes based on their feedback. It’s our team’s feedback that has shaped and will continue to shape our culture while ensuring that Killashee is a collaborative, innovative, inclusive and, most importantly, truly great place to work.”

Since Killashee started its journey with Great Place To Work in 2022, the hotel has been actively developing a positive working environment where everyone is encouraged to reach their full potential. The focus has been placed on improving all key people pillars starting from basics of investing in staff facilities; training, learning and development opportunities; improved communication channels; culture programme, company core values launch and establishing culture champions; introduction of recognition system; engagement strategy; performance management; to succession planning and future proofing the business.
