Taxback and CluneTech provide unwavering support for personal and professional growth, regardless of gender or family circumstances.Navigating the challenges of being a single mother by choice while advancing my career was made possible with Taxback and CluneTech’s support. When I decided to embark on this journey, my career within Taxback was starting to take off. Naturally, I was fearful that my decision might negatively impact my career. I could not have been more wrong.
Every day I work with inspiring people, many of them women succeeding in industries and roles which were traditionally male. Compassion is central to everything and the policies around fertility, pregnancy loss and maternity are exceptional. In addition to fully-paid maternity and sick leave policies, Taxback/CluneTech offers IVF and pregnancy assistance leave, as well as support for employees experiencing pregnancy loss.
One of the ways in which Genesys supports individual growth is through the allocation of stretch projects. I’ve had the opportunity to engage in projects that extended beyond my regular responsibilities, offering exposure to C-suite executives, involvement in policy changes, and the implementation of global campaigns and initiatives. These experiences have not only broadened my skill set but have contributed to my professional development.
The provision of sanitary products in all bathrooms and a commitment to female health, including talks on menopause and fertility, is evidence of Genesys’s dedication to the overall wellbeing of its female employees. During this time, I have enjoyed being part of the company’s growth phase and watching it grow from strength to strength.
Since joining Gather & Gather I have been mentored by senior management including Managing Director, Pauline Cox. Pauline is an excellent example of a female leader. She is a role model for other women, demonstrating the qualities required for leadership positions, such as strong communication skills, decision-making ability, and the capacity to inspire and motivate others.
Our people are what make Gather & Gather great. We believe that to engage them fully we must support them, their families and their lives beyond Gather & Gather. I am encouraged by PepsiCo’s goal to strive for gender parity on pay and female representation in management roles by 2025. I am involved in the Women’s Inclusion Network , an employee resource group aiming to build an inclusive culture where diverse ability is recognised as a strength. Having a dedicated employee resource group to inspire, empower, and develop female talent and allyship is very impactful.
PepsiCo is a company that offers an interesting, varied and full career to women with many opportunities for advancement while supporting each of us as an individual through different life stages.I joined Cpl in 2004, at the age of 21, as a Recruitment Consultant after completing a degree in HR. From the beginning, I remember feeling a great sense of joy and pride to join Ireland’s largest recruitment agency with a woman from Longford at the helm.
I had a female manager I looked up to and admired and she was a great source of encouragement. She gave me the self-belief and confidence I needed to push ahead in a competitive, male-dominated environment. With her support I went for management and last year was promoted to Director. I work with a great team of talented people. There is an excellent, collaborative culture, the employees are happy and we are very much a team. In many ways it feels as if Darta is a family.
In Darta employees only have to work from the office twelve days per quarter. The company offers flexible hours, with the ability to work around home and life commitments so long as the work is completed. I joined PREM Group when the company was just starting out in 1996. My first role was a hotel receptionist, working in Premier Suites on Leeson Street in Dublin. Little did I think, 27 years ago, that I would have such a varied and rewarding career path through the hospitality industry!
PREM Group’s commitment to gender equality isn’t just a part of the corporate narrative but a reality I have experienced since my first day. 68 per cent of our workforce is female and the company has an excellent track record of women in leadership roles. From the moment I joined the company, I was aware of its inclusive culture. The company’s flexible working arrangements acknowledge and support the unique challenges faced by women, especially those balancing professional aspirations with personal commitments. This flexibility has been instrumental in allowing me to pursue my career goals without sacrificing other important aspects of my life.

Women Need Less Exercise Than Men to Reap the Same Rewards, Study FindsNew studies have revealed that women don’t need to exercise nearly as much as men do in order to reap the same rewards. Men who get about 300 minutes of aerobic exercise each week have an 18% lower risk of dying compared to men who are more inactive. For women, it takes only 140 minutes of weekly exercise to see the same result. The risk of death is 24% lower if women do decide to go for the 300 minutes a week. Benefits in terms of lowering risk of early death tend to plateau after about 300 minutes a week.
