"Developing Great Teams at the New World of Work” for FRS Recruitment at Croke Park

I was MC today for “Developing Great Teams at the New World of Work” for FRS Recruitment at Croke Park and here is a summary of insights:

“37% of people don’t have a clear start and finish to their day. Trust arrives on foot and leaves on horseback. Do companies behave every day as though people are their best asset?” Peter Cosgrove

“Candidates are expecting more jobs to be on offer in the future and to secure employment faster. They’ve taken stock over the past two years and are seeking work life balance, positivity and aligned culture.” Lynne McCormack

“Life sciences, tech and financial services have driven sectoral FDI growth in Ireland (and in that order) recently. Ireland offers a breadth of opportunity and choice of career now in the regions.” Denis Curran

“It’s crucial to understand your audience’s motivators. Think creatively around your persistent problems. 17% of Irish adults live in a different country - the highest percentage of any country in the OECD.” Kathleen Healey

“Confidence is contagious. Success is the greatest source of success. Rather than change the external problem, excite yourself with the challenge of reframing it internally.” Ian Robertson

“Demystify the decision making matrix in your organisation. Amend your managerial mindset to incorporate how work life integrators and segmentors think when communicating goals and objectives. Equip your people to do their job.” Brendan McGinty

“A good team can become a high performing team through personal relationships connecting on a more vulnerable basis. Self-transcendence happens when you know your group-wide “why”. Get the fundamental 90% right before trying to find the 10% incremental improvement.” Shane O Sullivan

“How are you listening to your staff… systematically and over time? You can show you’re listening through acknowledging their points, communicating and taking action. People need a democratic, clear mechanism to share what’s bothering them and ideas in their workplace.” Brian Slattery, Ph.D.

“Choice (of where you work) isn’t linked to performance, but instead to your values. We must always strive to communicate objectives and how they align to the company’s goals. It’s crucial to empower people in teams.” Eoin Lennon

“There are 90,000 Irish people in Australia alone. We canshow those who want to come home that they can make that decision with their heart and their mind. The connection with GAA and GAAGO is about communit and, connection. It really is something special.” Colin Donnery

“We want to work with sponsors who really get what we’re about in the GAA, dovetail in with our 700,000 members and help strengthen the sustainability of our organisation. FRS Recruitment has courage, is relevant in many ways to our audience at home and abroad and they bring creativity to the table.” Peter McKenna

“I can’t put into words that feeling of seeing the green fields of home as that plane touches down… it’s like a warm comfort blanket.” Bríd Stack
