As a team leader, company nurse, wellbeing coach, and mental health first aider, Claire consistently demonstrates professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for both colleagues and the wider workforce.
Claire’s trustworthiness and initiative are evident in her pivotal role in establishing our Health and Wellbeing Committee, where she has fostered a culture of support and engagement. Her contributions as a health and safety representative are marked by diligence and forward-thinking, notably in her involvement with the planning and delivery of CIF Safety Week. She coordinated impactful sessions with guest speakers such as Oisin Mc Convill, addressing addiction, and Ray Goggins, focusing on resilience.
In January 2023, Claire introduced Operation Transformation to the company, encouraging more than 100 employees to participate. She organised weekly walking groups and a variety of other activities to promote engagement and wellbeing among staff. Claire also made a point to check in with participants each week, providing support and motivation to help them stay on track and achieve their goals.
The end result of that programme was a total of 35 stone lost and over 80 inches lost off 35 leaders waists. They all reported feeling a lot better physically and on average their mental health improved from 3/10 to 8/10. We as a team and company raised over €50,000 for families in need. A lot of staff have continued their fitness journey & went onto complete Hell & Back, Dublin City Marathon and lots more.
She also ensures effective internal communications by compiling our quarterly employee newsletter, delivering relevant updates and fostering a sense of community.
In summary, Claire Kiernan is a trusted, proactive, and highly valued member of our team whose commitment to wellbeing, safety, and continuous improvement is exemplary. I recommend her without reservation for any role requiring leadership, compassion, and a steadfast dedication to workplace excellence.
