EM - April/May 2014 - (Page 2)

Draw results BERNIE HEALY Editor's desk Hello and Welcome to the April/ May issue of EM. 2014 marks the 40th Anniversary of the opening of our pumped storage station at Turlough Hill in Co. Wicklow. Over the years the station has played host to many school and community tours but unfortunately this was no longer possible in recent years when resources could not accommodate the large amount of work and man/ woman power required for events such as these. However, to celebrate the event the station plans to open for tours over the summer months and from May to September inclusive we hope to bring you details of days when the station will be open to visitors. This has always been a popular location given the scenic area in which the station is located close to Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains and the cavern particularly has been found to be highly impressive with young visitors. So watch out for more information coming your way and pass on the word in your area. Watch out also for details of the Sligo Walk in May as the bright evenings now give us all more opportunities to step out and up the training schedule.

ESB HELD A NUMBER of events to mark International Women's Day in the week following. On Monday, March 10th, over 50 people attended a lunchtime event hosted by Equality & Diversity in Head Office entitled Inspiring Change through Innovation and Leadership. Guest speaker at the event was Cathy Winston, Business Growth Advisor. Cathy's focus was on leading and leadership, exploring the reality that diversity promotes innovation in an organisation - diverse thinking, backgrounds, experiences, skill sets, gender, age etc. Sarah Claxton, Employee Engagement, Communications and Diversity Lead opened the event and explained that initiatives such as this play an important role in helping to raise the awareness and understanding of our unconscious biases and how they may negatively impact on diverse thinking and practices in an organisation. This event is part of a programme of lunch and learns seminars scheduled for 2014 that focus on diversity and inclusion related topics. Pat Doherty, Chief Executive closed the event . Also supporting the event were Brid Horan, Deputy Chief Executive, Pat Naughton, Director Group People and Sustainability Manager, Paddy Hayes, Executive Director, Generation & Wholesale Markets, Jim Dollard, Director BSC and Electric Ireland. n For further information in relation to Diversity & Inclusion related seminars and ESB's Women's Learning and Networking Programme, please contact Bernie O'Connor, Equality & Diversity Officer 01 702 7239. http://www.esb.ie http://www.fsc.org http://www.marbellabeachapartment.weebly.com http://www.repak.ie http://www.marbellabeachapartment.weebly.com
