Welcoming a new member to the People Team

Dáire (pronounced Da-ra) is a member of the People Team and has recently been appointed as Colleague Engagement and Organisation Development Lead. He wanted to take the opportunity to introduce himself here.

I’ve been involved in health and wellbeing for the last 13 years. I’m extremely passionate about people and organisational development; helping people understand their purpose and how that connects to the organisation, is something that I strive to deliver. Through organisation design and development, training and coaching, I hope to continue to grow and shape all the great initiatives and programmes that exist at SJOG.

In my personal life, I love to push the boundaries of what’s possible, with a huge thirst for personal and professional development. If I’m not spending time with my two daughters, I love triathlon and have completed three ironman triathlons as well as a range of others. I’m also an avid reader and thrive when I’m learning or upskilling.

My first priorities

1. As part of organisational development, I’ll be reviewing our health and wellbeing offering, and engaging colleagues to ensure that it is meaningful and connects to our values.
2. The colleague lifecycle from pre-starter to long serving colleague – this includes the induction and on-boarding process, rewards and benefits and how accessible they are, learning and development (career progression), and colleague recognition.
