County Arms Birr host incredible events as part of Staff Appreciation Week
The Offaly hotel celebrated its staff with its annual Staff Appreciation Week
County Arms Birr, once again hosted its annual Employee Appreciation Week to recognise the contribution its team makes to the success of the thriving four-star hotel.
Organised by the hotel’s HR team, Employee Appreciation Week began on Monday 19th August with a series of events and activities taking place all week long to thank staff for their hard work and dedication during an extremely busy and successful summer season that brought many visitors to the top Midlands hotel.
A large team from the hotel decided to show their appreciation to the town of Birr by volunteering with the wonderful local Tidy Towns group and, in doing so, helped to continue make Birr a beautiful place to visit and live. There was fun and games too, with ten brave employees taking part in a charity ‘Pie-in-the-face’ game, to raise money for Birr First Responders Unit, the hotels charity of the year for 2024.
Barry Kennedy, General Manager at County Arms Birr, stated “it is so important to reward and celebrate our teams’ achievements over the past year. Just 2 years ago we had 60 employees and now we have grown our team to just over 150 hard working team members. Our team spend every single day doing their very best to look after our wonderful guests, so we believe it is equally important to show them how much they are valued and appreciated.”
Employee Appreciation Week at County Arms was well-received and will return next year.
Located in the historic heritage town of Birr, a stay at County Arms Birr is an invitation to visit the very heart of Ireland and discover all the Midlands has to offer. The hotel is also one of the midlands top-rated, award winning, wedding venues, hosting beautiful weddings for over 60 years.
