Staff Stand-Down Day – Safety & Wellness Week 2024

💢 On Friday 22/11/2024 we were delighted to be able to conclude our annual Safety & Wellness Week with an official staff stand-down day. Our week was focused around the importance of both physical and mental wellbeing, and it was fitting that we could host an event for our staff that shone a light on both of these aspects.

💥 The event featured a range of Safety & Wellness topics, covered by internal Secto speakers, and we were delighted to be joined by two phenomenal special guest speakers:

✅ Rory O’Connor
Rory is a comedian known for his “Rories Stories” sketches, and is also a best-selling author that has become a true advocate for mental health in Ireland, sharing his own personal story with so many.

✅ Ray Goggins
Ray is a former Irish Special Forces operator, he understands the toll internal hardships can take on people, and in turn, has the ability to guide them to work through it. Ray has also written a best selling book focusing on valuable lessons to help all of us deal better with life, whatever the situation.

💪 Together Rory and Ray recognised the need for more open and honest conversations about wellbeing and mental health. On Friday, they addressed Secto staff , and opened up the dialogue on conquering your inner demons, resilience and how to overcome the intrusive thoughts that many of us face.

👏 It was an extremely beneficial and valuable day for all, full of learnings and insightful takeaways. We would like to say a special thank you to the Kilashee House Hotel Naas, for hosting us and providing excellent service, and a huge thank you to Rory & Ray, for joining us on what was a special event for Secto Services.
