Chapter 7 Developing an Organisation of Excellence 7.5 Accommodation and Facilities 7.5.1 Enniskillen Headquarters Following a procurement process project-managed by the Central Procurement Directorate of the Department of Finance and Personnel, the contract for a new Waterways Ireland Headquarters building in Enniskillen was signed in March 2007. The state of the art building will be located on a waterfront location on the Sligo Road and will be completed by Autumn 2008. The project complies with the Government’s “Achieving Excellence in Construction for Northern Ireland” initiative which promotes design quality and sustainability in construction whilst achieving best value for money. In the interim, temporary accommodation continues to be provided at two sites in Enniskillen. Waterways Ireland Annual Report and Accounts 2007 35
Chapter 7 Developing an Organisation of Excellence 7.5.2 Provision of Regional offices for the Western, Northern and Eastern regions The Western Regional Office is situated at Scarriff Harbour in Scarriff, Co Clare. The office is the base for the Operations and Administrative staff for the Western Region of Waterways Ireland. It is also the base for the Internal Audit section, Environment section, Mechanical Services and staff from the Technical Services Division. The Northern Regional office is based in leased accommodation on the Old Dublin Road in Carrick on Shannon. The Eastern Regional office continues to be based in leased accommodation at Ashtowngate, Navan Road, Dublin. 7.6 Developing and implementing Health and Safety 7.6.1 Health and Safety Audits A total of 11 Health and Safety audits were completed across the organisation during 2007. 7.6.2 Health and Safety policies, procedures and systems The review of the organisation’s Health and Safety statement was completed and an updated version prepared and sent for printing in 2007. 7.7 Providing and developing our staff resources During 2007, Waterways Ireland continued to pro-actively identify resource requirements and to provide and develop the necessary skills, knowledge and competencies in staff to meet organisational needs and deliver business objectives. 7.7.1 Recruitment We continued to recruit operational, administration and technical staff throughout 2007 in order to meet the staffing needs of the organisation. The current labour market presents challenges for filling vacancies, particularly in the field of engineering. During 2007 recruitment exercises resulted in achieving 90% of our approved staffing complement, and work continued to positively address staffing difficulties. In our recruitment and selection processes we continued to promote fairness and equality of opportunity in all of our activities. 7.7.2 Industrial Relations The maintenance and development of employee relations remained a key objective for Waterways Ireland. Throughout 2007 the various Industrial Relations mechanisms continued to operate effectively, providing regular and appropriate interaction between Waterways Ireland and Trade Unions. Management and Unions continued to meet in the Industrial Relations Forum to address matters of common interest to all employees. 36 Waterways Ireland Annual Report and Accounts 2007
