Career Opportunities in Workplace Wellbeing
Speaker #1 - Sharon Daly, Programme Manager Health & Wellbeing at Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail
Sharon joined Iarnrod Éireann in 2020 as Health & Wellbeing Programme Manager. Over the last four years Sharon has led the Health & Wellbeing programme focusing on engaging staff across the organisation and ensuring that activity is led by staff needs and a core value of the organisation is supported, ‘Valuing Our People’. Recruiting a champion network and implementing programmes including Family Carers, Ignition Go, Smoking Cessation and annual staff health checks are some of the highlights. Other areas Sharon is passionate to bring forward are menopause, positive mental health and ensuring all staff know how to perform CPR and use an AED in case of emergency. In 2023 the programme was acknowledged by the CIPD HR Awards as the winner of the Embedding a Culture of Health & Wellbeing (large employer) and in 2024 Irish Rail was awarded with IBEC’s Keep Well Mark accreditation.
