This partnership is a continuation of what has been a very successful working relationship between Trigon Hotels and Cope Foundation over the last few years. Trigon Hotels are long-running ambassadors for diversity and inclusivity in the workplace and have supported Cope Foundation's Ability@Work initiative over the last few years. Ability@Work helps people to try and gain paid employment in businesses around Cork. 

Team members at Trigon Hotels have raised €11,000 this year for Cope Foundation and its Ability@Work programme. Trigon Hotels announced at the start of 2021 that Cope Foundation would be their charity partner for 2021. This partnership is also set to continue into 2022.

Trigon Hotel team members participated in and organised several fundraising events over the year, beginning with the 300,000 Step Challenge. Throughout the year team members at Trigon Hotels, which includes the Metropole Hotel and the Cork International Hotel continued to raise money for the charities with events such as the Cork Car Show which raised more than €8,500 and a spinning marathon that raised over €2,000. 

Kathleen Linehan, Strategic Director of Human Resources, said: "We have a strong history of working closely with local charities, and were delighted to carry on this tradition this year by working with Cope Foundation and the Ability@Work team. Cope Foundation does fantastic work, and we are delighted we could offer our support this year through fundraising efforts and various other exciting initiatives. We look forward to raising more money for the charity next year.”

 

Trigon Hotels have provided six employment opportunities in the Metropole Hotel and the Cork International Hotel. Participants are working as waiters, waitresses, concierge, and housekeeping departments. 

Marian Hennessy from Ability@Work said: “Ability@Work is delighted to be part of this wonderful partnership, developing inclusive work placements with Trigon Hotels Group. The people we support are fully integrated as part of the workplace as part of the employment opportunities Trigon provide and are valued members of the team. These opportunities have enabled participants to grow in confidence and become more independent. Having a paid job means more financial security for each person. It is brilliant to see how much their self-esteem has grown. This fundraising will mean so much in providing resources and training materials to enable more people move into employment. We really appreciate the friendship and generosity of all the staff in Trigon, who have helped to create such an inclusive workplace.”

Jo-Anne Higgins from Cope Foundation said: “Our overarching objective with fundraising is to raise funds that will help to empower people, promote independence, and generate opportunities for people we support. Each year, we aim to raise €1 million through fundraising to help our organisation deliver more for people and support people to live ‘Your Life, Your Way’. This money does so much – it helps us to purchase houses so that people can live more independent lives in their community; develop person-centred assistive technology projects which promote independence and choice; fund activities and experiences so that people we support can try new things, visit new places and make connections; as well as purchase much-needed resources and equipment for our day and residential centres.”

TRIGON HOTELS GIVES A DAY OFF TO THE TEAM AS A “THANK YOU”

 

National Workplace wellbeing day will take place on Friday 30th April 2021. At Trigon Hotels, wellbeing in the workplace has always been of paramount concern and to celebrate Workplace Wellbeing Day, all team members are being gifted a ‘Wellness Day’ to enjoy such much needed R&R as a gesture of gratitude by the company’s Managing Director, Aaron Mansworth (pictured above).

In a year like no other, with the hospitality industry being so severely impacted by Covid 19, the mental and physical wellbeing of the team was of critical importance. 

Throughout this past year, there have been a variety of initiatives to support the teams across the Cork International Hotel, the Cork Airport Hotel and the Metropole Hotel. Some of these include the Trigon Team Support Hub, which is an internal hub which has provided direct access to the various supports that have been needed during Covid 19 – including mental health supports, financial advice, wellbeing supports and so much more. 

The hotels have also hosted some fun events including zoom bingo, a virtual Halloween party for the children of team members and a virtual awards ceremony. They are currently in the process of organising their ‘Trigons Got Talent’ so their team members can show off their secret talents to their colleagues.

Managing Director of Trigon Hotels, Aaron Mansworth said: “This past year has been incredibly challenging for so many people, and in particular at industry level, within the tourism and hospitality sector. The team have overcome many hurdles in order to protect the business and livelihoods and for that I am immensely grateful. They collectively worked in order to change the way that we do business in order to stay connected to our guests and communities. I am so proud of each team member and grateful for their commitment, hard work and dedication. As a gesture of thanks, I am delighted to gift each team member a ‘wellness day’. They can use this paid days leave any way they wish so whether it’s a day outdoors in nature or a day on the sofa, once they get to recharge their batteries and relax”.
