In many ways the tools were too complicated for a small business such as ours. This all changed when we started embracing morning meetings and 3S (Sort\, Sweep &\; Sta ndardise) as part of our daily routines. These meetings mean that all our team now have a deeper understanding of non-value add activities and with everyone now involved in finding 3 improvements weekly our workplace has d eveloped a problem-solving culture where everyone strives to ‘fix what b ugs them’ and/or ‘leave it better than they found it’.\n\nWe are min dful that Lean is a journey\, not a destination\, and we are committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Our daily rout ines whether they be our morning meetings\, our 3S time\, external benchma rking all contribute to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our Conti nuous Improvement practices and no doubt our ability to adapt to changing market conditions and customer needs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo drive and track our continuous improvement initiatives\, we leverage visual management too ls like our “Improvement Board” and a dedicated WhatsApp channel where our team share their improvements in the spirit of ‘Yokoten’ (Japanes e for ‘best practice sharing’) so that if one team member sees an impr ovement in one area that might apply to their area they can implement and possibly ‘improve on an improvement’. This has helped foster a culture of shared learning and problem-solving across the business.\n\nTo sustain standards\, we have adopted GembaDocs after failing on many occasions wit h different formats and templates of Standard Operating Procedures that we re not user-friendly. This online platform allows for multiple users and i s a leap into the digital space with Lean.\n\nYou get to see all of this i n action on a tour.\n\n\n\n\nWhat the visitors can expect to experience:\n Welcome\nLean Start discussion\nAttend our Morning meeting\nDiscussion ses sion: Culture building\nGuided Office tour: Accounts and Main Office sessi ons with Support staff\nGuided Shop floor tour: 3 production areas and Sto res session with Operators\nClosing remarks\nNotes:\nPhotos and videos can be taken throughout the tour.\n\nPPE requirements:\nSafety glasses (pleas e bring your own prescription ones\, we can provide general safety glasses )\nSafety shoes (you may prefer to bring your own\, we will provide oversh oes if they are required on the day)\nHi Vis will be provided.\n\nMore inf ormation on Lean Tour HERE\nPrice:\n€80 per person (including discount o ffered to Mid-West Lean Network members and subsidy from Shannon Chamber S killnet)\nLimited spaces available for this Lean Tour.

Throughout an employee's work lifetime\, they will almost certainly f ace issues such as sickness or bereavement at some point. Many employers have good practices and support in place to deal effectively with such si tuations. However\, employees may also experience far less commonly spoken about issues that will impact their working lives such as domestic abuse.  Around 1 in 3 people are subjected to domestic abuse during the period o f their working lives. Employees’ attendance\, performance\, and product ivity at work may be impacted. In some cases\, abuse can occur during work time or through work communications channels.\n\nIn 2023\, the Government of Ireland introduced a legal requirement for employers to offer up to fi ve days of paid leave over a period of 12 months to employees affected by domestic abuse. You can also take this leave if you are supporting a ‘ relevant person’ such as a partner or dependant. The workplace has the  potential to be an important place of safety and support. The importance o f maintaining employment and independent income as a basis for recovery ca nnot be underestimated. It is important that employers are in an informed  position to effectively support an employee living with domestic abuse and foster an environment where employees feel comfortable seeking assista nce or disclosing their experiences.\n\nJoin us as we explore:\n\n The di fferent types of domestic abuse and the support services of Clare Haven.\n The impacts of domestic abuse on an employee's work.\n Recognising the signs that an employee is experiencing domestic abuse.\n Exploring the le gislation and aid in the development of a supporting workplace policy.\n Responding to a disclosure of domestic abuse.\n Training and raising awa reness.\n\nThe workplace response forms an important part of the national conversation on domestic abuse and plays a crucial role in helping affecte d employees feel less stigmatised and therefore more likely to seek suppor t.\n\nThis is a breakfast event beginning at 8:30 in Treacys Oakwood Hotel \, Shannon.\n\nThis information presentation delivered by Clare Haven Serv ices. \n\n Clare Haven Services has been supporting women and children a ffected by domestic abuse and coercive control since 1995. The support ser vices provided have developed and evolved since the service first began. T o mark thirty years of the service\, CHS are hosting a series of commemora tive events throughout 2025.  \nPlease book online to secure your place!  \nRegistration and light breakfast begin at 8:30 a.m.\, and the event wi ll commence at 9:00 a.m.\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.shannonchamber.ie/wp-content/uploads /2025/05/EVENT-Page-WEBSITE-768-x-506-px.png CATEGORIES:Events LOCATION:Treacys Oakwood Hotel\, Airport Road\, Shannon\, Co.

She w ill highlight SEAI’s Rapid Approval Energy Efficiency Grants and other k ey initiatives designed to help SMEs take practical steps toward sustainab ility.

Whether you're just starting your energy journey or looking to scale u p your efforts\, this talk will equip you with the knowledge and tools to take action.\n\nIn second part\, Aidan Condell will talk about EEOS (Ener gy Efficiency Obligation Scheme). This is a government scheme in Ireland d esigned to drive energy efficiency improvements across homes\, businesses\ , and communities. It's a key mechanism for Ireland to meet its national a nd European energy saving targets.\n\nUnder the EEOS\, the largest energy suppliers and distributors in Ireland are legally required to achieve annu al energy efficiency targets. These companies are known as "Obligated Part ies."\n\nObligated Parties can meet their targets by financially and/or te chnically supporting homeowners\, businesses\, and communities to carry ou t energy efficiency upgrades. For every unit of energy saved through these projects\, the Obligated Parties earn energy credits towards their annual goal.\n\nThe SEAI acts as the administrator of the EEOS.\nSustainability is more than compliance or environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) r eporting\; it will reshape your competitive advantage.\nCase Study\n\nHear from John Gavin from Shannon Springs Hotel who has received funding and s upport from SEAI to reduce costs and carbon emissions. It’s an easy win! Supported by SEAI\, Shannon Springs undertook a comprehensive retrofit pr oject.
