Best practice HR can be more challenging with the working hours and seasonal nature of the hotel business and Noreen has provided us with first class HR expertise in all aspects of employment law, guiding us through NERA audits and resolving employee related challenges in a practical, flexible way

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.

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.

 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.

People Matters was founded by Noreen Coyne who has vast experience and works with big, medium and small clients throughout Ireland.

Any issues Noreen completed for us have been done very professionally, on time and within budget.

People Matters devised and facilitated a specific Health & Safety Awareness programme across the organisation in a short time frame which was a huge help to us. Noreen has been a great resource with HR queries, in preparing training and is always there when needed.

Brian Moran, Finance Director, McHale Engineering

Noreen has developed a strong suite of HR policies and structures to ensure Store Managers and owners are fully compliant with all relevant legislation and best practice, which is vital for any retail business. But where Noreen really excels is in engaging with people working in all levels of retail to ensure business plans are achieved and indeed exceeded.

I would recommend Noreen’s approach to any retailer who is serious about developing a customer-focussed culture in their business

Richard Lennon, Regional Manager, Musgrave Group

Our team recently attended a people management training course with Noreen and the feedback was great, everyone enjoyed the training and learned management skills that they apply on a daily basis. Noreen is very knowledgeable in people management and delivers fantastic training.
