TTM is committed to focusing only on growth that is Sustainable and which has a Positive Impact environmentally, socially and within our communities.
Here’s what this commitment has delivered so far:
Relay for Life - Clare
Our TTM team proudly took part in Relay for Life Clare, raising over €5,000 for the Irish Cancer Society. This 24-hour event brought us together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and stand in solidarity with those affected by cancer.
Walking in continuous relay and hosting family-friendly activities, we were honoured to contribute to vital cancer research, prevention programmes, and patient support services. We’re proud of our team’s involvement—everyone gained so much from this special event.
Open Doors Initiative (ODI)
TTM proudly support the Open Doors Initiative (ODI), helping marginalized communities access training, jobs, and entrepreneurship. Members of our team volunteer with CV & interview support to help job seekers succeed.
We're helping to break barriers and build opportunities- because everyone deserves a chance to thrive.
Pride at Work
We celebrate diversity, inclusive and LGBTQI+ influence in TTM and we are proud partners of Pride at Work.
We support all our LGBTQI+ colleagues and communities that are LGBTQI+ and we advocate for friendly work practices and cultures.
ALONE
Some of our TTM team volunteer with ALONE’s Telephone Support service, offering friendly weekly calls to older people.
Through these calls, our colleagues provide companionship, practical support, and connection to local activities, helping ensure recipients feel safe, valued, and engaged in their community.
International Women’s Day
To mark International Women’s Day and the importance of supporting and advancing women in the workplace, our CSR Committee organised a special Breakfast Event for Catalyst. Catalyst is a global non-profit supported by many of the world’s leading companies to help build 21st century workplaces that work for women. To support the organisation, our people enjoyed a hearty, healthy breakfast with lots of fun and kindly made a donation.
Since 1962, Catalyst’s thought leadership has helped women progress through workplace inclusion, is recognised as a trusted resource for knowledge on gender, leadership and talent management, and is an IWD Charity of Choice. You can learn more about their great work here.
Team Hope Shoe Box Collection
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign bringing joy to children affected by poverty by delivering gifts directly into their hands. Each year, we’re delighted to welcome local primary school children to our Ennis HQ, where they prepare their shoeboxes for the collection. It’s always a heart-warming afternoon, filled with laughter, creativity, and the spirit of giving.
Delivering on our Environmental Commitments
Keep Cup Initiative
Since July 31st 2023, we have officially phased out disposable cups within our office. We supported this initiative by providing every employee with their own Keep Cup. Annually we will save on average 460.55kg of Carbon Dioxide, 41.25kg of plastic, 281.25kg of timber and 11847.5mj of energy being wasted.
Switching to LED Lights
We've cut our daily carbon footprint by 2000 kilowatts by switching to LED bulbs and dimmable switches at our Ennis HQ.
72 Trees Planted
So far TTM have planted 72 trees as part of our ‘Plant a tree for each new hire initiative’.
Investing in our people
ERF Recruitment Executive Apprenticeship - BA (Hons) Degree in Recruitment Practice
In recognition of the value of recruitment as a career, the Employment and Recruitment Federation (ERF) introduced the Executive Apprenticeship BA (Hons) Degree in Recruitment Practice - in partnership with the National College of Ireland. A world-first, the course sees recruiters studying towards a QQ1 Level 8 qualification while working and TTM is proud to offer this study opportunity to our team members. Two of our team members have just completed the degree with first class honours while two more have recently begun their second year of study.
Mental Health First Aider
Several TTM staff members within our Ireland and UK teams undertook training as Mental Health First Aid Responders. This special skills development course is designed to equip them to provide vital support and assistance to a colleague experiencing a mental health difficulty or crisis. Four team members have already completed the course, with a further two due to complete by the year end. The training means we can make sure our people get the mental health support they need, should they need it. It’s one of the ways we’re making sure we promote zero stigma around mental health.
Management Development Training
This year, Cathriona O'Keeffe provided Management Development training. The program program covered key areas such as Emotional Intelligence, Managing through Change, Conflict Resolution, and Effective Teamwork. Participants gained valuable insights into personal effectiveness, communication, and coaching for growth. The training aimed to enhance leadership skills and equip middle management to thrive in a dynamic work environment.
Managing Change and Unconscious Bias
Innovation and development are held back by a resistance to change and by letting biases take control. To ensure our TTM people operate in a dynamic environment where change is nurtured, our Leadership team completed training in Managing Change and Unconscious Bias. They learned how being aware and taking control of unconscious biases enables better decision-making and a healthier workplace.
Understanding Personality Difference
As part of our TTM Training Programme we introduced training in ‘Understanding Personality Differences’. Through this training participants learn to recognise how their personality impacts their behaviour and gain deeper insight into how to collaborate and communicate with colleagues and clients. It helps our team members become mindful of the personalities of others, identify the different dynamics at play and navigate conflict in a positive way.
Above is just a snapshot of the trainings available to TTM employees.
