For all the many benefits of remote work, it does mean that some of our Central Support Office employees don't always get the same opportunities to collaborate and socialise in person. 🤔 That’s why once a month we host ‘Frankfurt Week’, giving those who are usually a little further afield (and those that don’t always work in the office) the opportunity to come together to reinvigorate bonds and connections and celebrate collaboration and cooperation. 😍 Usually, we will make use of the time with face-to-face meetings, by eating good food together, doing team-building exercises and the occasional party… 🥂 #pentalovesyou #pentahotels #teambonding #hospitality

Ever notice how employers have this uncanny ability to ask for extra hours without mentioning that they're going to pay for them? 🤔 It's like........... asking someone to water your plants and then saying, 'Oh, by the way, we don't believe in gardening. It's just for fun France's work culture surprises many with its emphasis on work-life balance and strict labor laws. It challenges conventional notions by prioritizing quality of life over relentless work hours. 🇫🇷 Exploring French Work Culture 🌐 Équipe (Team): In France, teamwork is crucial! "Équipe" emphasizes collaboration, where everyone pitches in for success. Bureau (Office): The "bureau" is where the magic happens! It's not just a place; it's a space for creativity and productivity. Réunion (Meeting): Say bonjour to "réunion"! French workdays often involve meaningful meetings for sharing ideas and making decisions. Défi (Challenge): Work in France isn't complete without a good "défi"! Challenges spark growth and innovation. Pause-café (Coffee Break): Ah, the beloved "pause-café"! It's more than a break; it's a chance to connect with colleagues over coffee. Let's embrace the rich vocabulary of French work culture! 🚀 #WorkCulture #FrenchVocabulary #Teamwork #OfficeLife #ChallengeAccepted #LanguageLearning #TranslationServices #FrenchInterpreter #LanguageExperts #LearnFrench #LanguageServices #FrenchTranslation #LanguageProficiency #FrenchCulture

💡𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - 𝐖𝐨𝐣𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐝𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐢💡 Our second employee in focus is with Wojciech Bogudzinski, Contracts Manager on our St Laurence's site in Stillorgan. • Where are you from? Wroclaw - It is best and most beautiful city in Poland. • When did you join Clancy? September 2023. • What does a typical day look like for you at Clancy? Every day is different on a construction site. Typically it starts from planning and looking ahead, speaking with the team on site, meeting subcontractors and trade partners to agree the best and most efficient ways to achieve our target and milestone dates, taking safety and quality (our core values ) always into account. The activities tend to vary depending on the day but one thing never changes - start early and finish late! • What is your favourite thing about Clancy? The collaborative and teamwork approach. We really do what we say we do and “Built on Partnership” - this is not just empty phrase. Every strategic decision we make during planning process and when we execute a plan on site is based on our core values: Safety, Professionalism, Collaboration/Teamwork, Quality, Commitment/Loyalty and Sustainability. • What's your secret to starting the day off right? Cup of good coffee! • What's the one item on your desk that you couldn't live without, and why? Again - A cup of coffee! • Outside of work, what are your favourite hobbies or activities? Spending time with my kids and family as much as I can. We love outdoor walks and traveling around Ireland when time allows. Kerry and Dingle Coast is the best place to be on a nice sunny day. You need to be very lucky though as from I noticed. Sunny days are not regular events in this part of Ireland! There are beautiful hiking trail in the Wicklow Mountains which are our typical choice for weekend escapes from Dublin City. We love spending time outdoors, there's nothing better than a long walk finished with warm cup of tea or something stronger for adults. • How would you describe the team culture and collaboration within Clancy? 'Superb' is the best way to describe it. Everything we do and achieve, we achieve as a team. • Share a fun or memorable moment from your time working here. I am relatively new in Clancy but if was to choose it would be our Clancy staff annual meeting in Dublin Zoo followed by the Gala dinner in Portlaoise. • Tell us a fact that people might not know about you? I ran a marathon in 2009. It seems like it happened in a former life! 🖥 www.clancy.ie #Clancy #BuiltonPartnership #Employeefocus #Employeeappreciation

Year end has always been my favourite time. It's not just because of the holidays and breaks but because you can celebrate all of the things you did right as well as the chance to learn from things that didn't go as expected. It's important to figure out how to harness that knowledge to improve both yourself and your business. #neverstoplearning #neverstopgrowing #neverstopexploring
