The Slieve Russell Hotel in Co Cavan was among the big winners at the Menopause Workplace Excellence Awards. The Ballyconnell hotel, golf and country club was honoured for implementing policies to support women battling debilitating menopause symptoms in the workplace.
Orla Murphy is the 'People and Culture Manager' of the The Slieve Russell Hotel. Speaking to Northern Sound, Orla revealed that workplace well-being is of upmost importance to the local group. Orla says that we all need to be well educated in this area in order to support our colleagues and retain employees.
"The statistics of the number of women who leave the workplace when they're going through this transition is frightening," explained Orla. "We put a number of strategies in place a few years ago to prevent this happening in our own workplace and to make our employees feel valued and supported in the workplace."
