This prestigious certification is a true reflection of our unwavering dedication to cultivating a people-first culture where every member of our exceptional team can flourish.
General Manager Philip Rock said, “This prestigious certification is a true reflection of our unwavering dedication to cultivating a people-first culture where every member of our exceptional team can flourish.”
Director of Golf & Hospitality Cormac Ryan said “We are particularly proud of the high level of engagement from our team throughout this process and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received regarding our inclusive culture, work/life balance, career development opportunities, and remarkable team spirit. This underscores the true essence of the Killeen Castle family.”
Achieving this honour signifies years of committed effort to create a supportive and rewarding environment. Driven by our vision of being an outstanding place to work, we embarked on a thorough journey to evaluate and enhance our workplace practices, ensuring they align with the distinguished experience we offer our guests.
Our Commitment to Our Team: The Great Place to Work Trust Index
As a vital part of this journey, our team actively participated in the Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey. This invaluable feedback mechanism provides insight into the employee experience across five crucial dimensions:
• Credibility: Do our team members trust our leadership and feel confident in the direction Killeen Castle is heading?
• Respect: Are our colleagues treated with dignity and provided with the tools and support they need to excel in their roles?
• Fairness: Do employees feel they are treated equitably, regardless of their position or background within our historic walls?
• Pride: Do our team members take immense pride in their work and the unparalleled experience we provide to every guest?
• Camaraderie: Is there a strong sense of connection, collaboration, and mutual support among our teams, reflecting the spirit of our hospitality family?
To earn the Great Place to Work certification, an organization must demonstrate a robust culture of trust, built not just through policies but through the daily experiences of its people. Two-thirds of the assessment is based on direct employee feedback from the Trust Index Survey, with the remaining one-third derived from a Culture Audit detailing our people-focused initiatives.
We are particularly proud of the high level of engagement from our team throughout this process and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received regarding our inclusive culture, work/life balance, career development opportunities, and remarkable team spirit. This underscores the true essence of the Killeen Castle family.

We are deeply committed to listening, learning, and evolving to ensure that our people always feel valued, supported, and immensely proud to be part of the Killeen Castle hospitality family. We will leverage these insights to further enhance our environment, ensuring Killeen Castle remains a beacon of excellence for generations to come.
