Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Joanne Mangan:

Companies that we work with have not built them but they have regional offices. For example, Liberty Insurance has a couple of offices around the country, as does the ESB. Some of the banks are using their regional premises and branches as hubs for their employees. I am not aware of a large company planning to build a hub. Shopify, since before the pandemic, uses local hubs and premises, such as hotels, to bring employees together. As Mr. Hegarty talked about, it has clusters of employees around the country and it bring them in. That could be a good approach and a great way of investing in the region, and any opportunity for the employees to meet is always a positive thing.
