Last week, we had a fantastic time at the Irish Hotels Federation People Day - a brilliant event dedicated to the people driving Ireland’s hospitality industry forward.

Stephen Moloney and Eimear Byrne attended on the day and had some great conversations, hearing first-hand about the real challenges hospitality businesses are facing - from attracting and retaining talent to navigating an increasingly complex workforce environment.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat and share their insights.

And of course, a huge congratulations to the lucky winner of our Fallon and Byrne hamper, Caroline Doherty, from Randles Hotel Killarney - we hope you enjoy it!

If we didn’t get a chance to connect on the day, we’d love to continue the conversation!

Irish hospitality businesses face unique payroll challenges:

Seasonal staff and variable hours make holiday pay calculations a headache.

Minimum wage increases and PRSI updates add constant pressure.

Manual processes can’t keep up. Errors lead to late payments, Revenue penalties, and frustrated employees. That’s why automation and integration matter.

HR is often associated with processes and policies.

What is less visible is the work that shapes how organisations actually function day to day.

From building culture to supporting fair decisions, so much of this work happens behind the scenes and carries across the organisation.

On International HR Day, we recognise that contribution and the role it plays in creating stable and effective workplaces.

Happy International Day!

Two in five employees in Ireland are currently looking for a new job, according to our latest SD Worx research.

The findings point to a growing disconnect in the workplace - with many employees citing limited development opportunities, skills gaps and understaffed teams as key challenges.

We want to extend a big thank you to Newstalk, The Irish Times, Midlands 103, and The Irish Sun for helping bring these insights to a wider audience.
