We
actively encourage and promote employee training and development as
an important and integral part of the working environment. We
believe that through training and development, we are better able
to meet our business objectives and therefore are committed to the
continuous development of all our employees.

Death-in-service benefits
Upon completion
of a probationary period, employees are entitled to
‘death-in-service’ benefit. In the event that an employee passes
away while in our active employment, a lump sum payment is made to
the family or next of kin.
Educational assistance
The company
provides a wide range of support in both financial and study leave
terms, for those courses which are considered relevant or
beneficial to your position or and agreed future position within
the company.

fees will be refunded to the employee by the company upon
successful completion of each year's course.

company offers paid study and examination leave which varies
according to the qualification being pursued. In the case of some
qualifications, no study leave is granted but unpaid or accrued
time off in addition to holiday leave may be granted.
Group specified illness cover plan

permanent employees of within Ireland are entitled to subscribe to
the Group Specified Illness Cover Plan with Irish Life. With this
plan, should you suffer any one of a range of serious illnesses,
you will receive a lump sum payment of either €25,000 or €50,000
(depending on the plan option selected) to aid you with any
unforeseen medical or other expenses.
Employee events and communication
We
actively encourage local and regional social activities and our
social clubs organise group activities throughout the year and each
hotel also regularly organises social events for their individual
properties.
How do you hear about these activities? There are a number of
ways in which we communicate with our employees including:
- Noticeboards: HR managers regularly post new information
regarding the company's policies and procedures, job vacancies,
training opportunities and ad-hoc benefits on the employee
noticeboard (normally located in the employee restaurant).
- Hotelnet: the Hotelnet is our company intranet which
will give you access to all the information above as well as
announcements on recent appointments, promotions, new property
information and any upcoming events.
Work / life balance
Just a few examples of
some of the Work / life balance initiatives the company has
introduced or is considering are:
- Flexible Working Conditions: job sharing, part-time work
(ie three days a week), term time working and flexi-time
working.
- Offering additional types of paid leave - wedding leave,
paternity leave, compassionate leave.
Career break
The company may offer
employees the opportunity to take a career break during the course
of their employment with the group. A career break is a period of
unpaid leave, which can be taken for a variety of reasons
including, but not limited to, travel, further education or
voluntary work.
