Clare Local Authorities have been awarded the ‘Excellence Through People Standard’, following a rigorous examination of processes conducted by FÁS.
FÁS Excellence through People is Ireland’s National Standard for Human Resource Management. It focuses on the areas of Communications & People Involvement, Learning & Development, Leadership, People Management, Recruitment and Selection, Employee Welfare, and Business Planning & Quality Improvement.
