Tipperary hotel named one of the best workplaces in hospitality in 2024
The Lakeside Hotel in Ballina/Killaloe was awarded the title this week
The Best Workplaces™ in Hospitality 2024 have been revealed and The Lakeside Hotel & Leisure Centre in Ballina / Killaloe was one of just 51 hotels to get onto this year's list.
In its first year, the Best Workplaces™ in Hospitality is an industry recognition compiled by Great Place to Work Ireland to recognise the top hotels who are paving the way for greatness in the hospitality industry. With nearly 40,000 employees in the hotel industry invited to be surveyed in the last couple of years, Great Place to Work were able to investigate and understand the employee experience within these workplaces – 51 organisations were then acknowledged as the best in the sector.
Due to the industry’s inherently people-centric nature, prioritising employee needs is paramount; when the quality of service is directly influenced by the attitudes and wellbeing of staff, ensuring that employees feel valued, supported, and motivated is crucial. In a sector known for its high turnover rates, prioritising employee needs helps attract and retain top talent, reducing recruitment and training costs. By investing in their workforce through continuous professional development, fair compensation, and a positive work environment, the Best Workplaces in Hospitality have built resilient, dedicated teams, essential for sustaining long-term success and competitiveness.
This recognition uses the global standard Best Workplaces methodology as its basis. To be considered for this recognition, participating organisations are required to be Certified™ as a Great Place to Work first and be in the hotel sector.
