Dear Chamber Member,
I hope that you and your colleagues are keeping well. Many of you who have been working remotely for the last 18 months have been getting reacquainted with your offices again this week, and having some long overdue in-person meetings. I wish you all a safe and happy return.
For businesses and employees alike, this new post-Covid era offers an opportunity to redefine and reshape our workplace norms, and it is in all our interests that we embrace the positive learnings from the past 18 months and move ahead with confidence and optimism. In this transition, it is important that employers are proactive in adapting to the HR and health and safety considerations as teams re-enter the office environment. To help support you now, and into the future, we have launched a new partnership with Adare Human Resource Management, who are one of one of Ireland’s leading HR, Employment Law and Health & Safety consultancies. More information on this member service can be found <HERE> on our website, or you are welcome to make contact with me if you wish to discuss how these services may help you and your team.
As we come towards the end of quarter 3 we are seeking your input to our Q3 Economic Trends via our survey <LINK HERE>, sponsored by permanent tsb. The results from this survey will be printed and circulated to our members, as well as circulated online and through media. Importantly, the findings from the survey also inform our advocacy activity, so we welcome your participation so that we can represent your interests, and help make Cork a thriving and progressive city region.
In the coming weeks we will be hosting the Cork Digital Marketing Awards, an exciting celebration of dynamic work being delivered by digital pioneers across our business community. This event is free to attend and you can register for this, or any of our other Autumn series of events on our website <HERE>.
