 As a start-up company new to Ireland, People Matters put us at ease in respect of all HR compliance, devising clear policies and a professional Employee Handbook specific to Truckscience needs. People Matters also developed a bonus structure for our employees which aligned objectives to overall company strategy in a simple framework ensuring that rewards were clearly linked to performance.

Noreen’s knowledge and expertise in HR has helped us implement a really effective "Performance Management" process in our store. This has empowered our department supervisors and managers with the skills to coach and develop their teams to perform at the highest levels.
This doesn't happen by accident; Noreen gave us the tools and the training to make this work for ourselves. This process has, over the years resulted in good people progressing up through the ranks to become great leaders.

 Noreen has the ability to roll out the business strategy throughout the organisation in a constructive and positive way through the use of a variety of engagement tools and techniques such as job maps and balanced scorecards, culminating in staff at all levels within the organisation having a greater sense of purpose and direction, which in turn will ultimately drive bottom line performance.

Noreen worked as Head of HR for the Kavanagh Group for eight years over which time she embedded a culture of excellent service, professionalism and engagement through training, HR best practice and an absolute commitment to maximising business performance.

Noreens strong business sense and strategic ability combined with core HR and people development skills provide a holisitic approach to driving business performance through employee resources. Her knowledge and understanding of business strategy, maximising efficiency and how people contribute best to the success of the business are a valuable asset to any organisation.

People Matters represented our company in defending an Unfair Dismissal Claim at the WRC and from the outset ensured everything was covered. The submission compiled was comprehensive, accurate and very clear on all facts. The advice provided throughout the process and at the hearing demonstrated an indepth knowledge of the relevant legislation and led to a successful outcome on our behalf. We would highly recommend People Matters for WRC representations.
