What winning means
“We were delighted to win this award. Managing the ‘people’ issues associated with merging the two banks was hugely challenging and rewarding and the award gave us the opportunity to reflect on that whole experience again. As well as acknowledging the success of the merger, winning the award meant the learning could be shared within the wider HR and business community.”

“Winning the special achievement award was a powerful endorsement of our efforts to bring certified work-based training of the crafts skills to every corner of the baking industry in Ireland. This initiative contributed in a major way to productivity improvement in our sector. Being highly recognised through this Awards process focused attention on this achievement and prompted other people development initiatives within the baking and other sectors. Both the industry and the Skillnets movement were extremely proud of our success.”
