Speaking about the awards, Mairead Mackle, chief executive, said: “We are delighted to be a part of the Irish News Workplace and Employment Awards. Homecare is a company which is innovative in its approach to developing new products, services as well as our people skills. We are socially responsible which we were commended for in our recent Investors in people accreditation.
“As well as that, we demonstrate a planned approach by encouraging our staff to have a work-life balance and we promote health and well-being among our teams. We are a company which has created an outstanding workplace based on our iCare values which contributes to our workforce being committed and motivated.”
New to the categories this year is the Career Inspiration award which focuses on key strategic partnerships between businesses and educational organisations.
