World first for tech firm based in north Mayo village
A small village in rural Mayo has made global headlines in human resources technology.
An Even Better Place to Work, headquartered in Geesala, has shattered industry norms by achieving the world's first CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accreditation for its Transformational Employee Engagement Software Solution.
This unprecedented recognition, earned by the firm founded in 2022, positions Mayo at the vanguard of a global revolution in workplace culture and productivity.
The prestigious accreditation from The CPD Group, a globally recognised authority, is not merely an endorsement; it's a game-changer. It establishes a new, unparalleled standard for quality and tangible effectiveness in employee engagement platforms.
Shunning outdated HR metrics, An Even Better Place to Work pioneers a holistic, needs-focused approach that directly translates into superior business results for organisations worldwide - all powered from its quiet, yet globally connected, Geesala base.
"This isn't just about cutting-edge software; it's about a meticulously proven methodology for cultivating truly thriving workplaces, proudly developed right here in Mayo," said Brian Bakeberg, CEO of An Even Better Place to Work. "Businesses globally are wrestling with unprecedented challenges: crippling staff turnover, widespread disengagement, glaring leadership gaps, and spiralling morale. Our solution confronts these crises head-on, delivering irrefutable data and sparking authentic conversations that ignite profound, measurable improvements.
“We are living proof that world-class innovation doesn't just survive but thrives outside major urban centres."
The platform's unparalleled Continuous Improvement Cycle uniquely empowers organisations to precisely listen to their employees' deepest needs, uncover hidden root causes, strategically act with targeted leadership, and rigorously review progress for sustained, impactful change. Unlike generic survey tools, An Even Better Place to Work dives deep, expertly diagnosing specific organisational requirements across critical pillars: leadership, culture, wellbeing, diversity, and risk compliance.
Industry leaders are keenly observing this paradigm shift. They underscore the profound significance of this accreditation's emphasis on continuous professional development baked directly into the solution. It unequivocally validates that the principles driving the software actively enhance the growth and capability of leaders and teams, fostering environments where genuine engagement, holistic wellbeing, and intrinsic motivation become the natural, inevitable outcomes of needs being met. This provides an iron-clad assurance of quality and efficacy for any organisation committed to profoundly investing in its people and securing its future.
The solution's transformative power is already yielding extraordinary results. David Wheeler, from Ebor Academy, attests: "An Even Better Place to Work has completely reshaped our company culture. The insights are incredible, but more importantly, the process empowers our leaders to make a real difference. We've seen a significant increase in engagement and a measurable decrease in staff turnover."
As companies worldwide grapple with the complexities of hybrid work and the lingering spectre of the 'Great Resignation', tools offering accredited, data-driven pathways to a superior employee experience are not just valuable - they are indispensable.
An Even Better Place to Work is not merely entering the conversation; it is set to unilaterally redefine standards in the employee engagement space, powerfully showcasing rural Irish tech ingenuity on an unparalleled global stage.
