Roughan & O'Donovan's (ROD) status as an Engineers Ireland Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Accredited Employer has been extended for the maximum reaccreditation period of three years.
The Engineers Ireland CPD Accredited Employer standard is a national CPD accreditation best-practice framework designed to improve the competence levels of engineers and technical staff and deliver tangible benefits to organisations that commit to best practices in their choice of learning and development initiatives.
Speaking at the parchment presentation at our headquarters in Sandyford this week, Engineers Ireland CPD Associate Director, Aidan O’Flaherty, said:
“Congratulations to Roughan and O’Donovan Consulting Engineers on once again receiving the maximum three-year accreditation following its recent CPD Audit by Engineers Ireland. At the audit, the audit panel were impressed by the robust and comprehensive CPD structures, practices and initiatives in place, but even more so by how engineers and technicians felt they had a strong say in their professional development with strong support from management to learn and grow.” “Roughan and O’Donovan clearly delivers when it comes to CPD best practice for its staff,” he added.
In the last 12 months, our team has grown to over 250, we have relocated our headquarters to a larger, more sustainable office in Sandyford, and we have opened a new office in Cork. Against this background of expansion and development, investment in the continued development of our CPD strategy has become more important than ever before.
Benchmarking our CPD efforts against the rigorous standard set by Engineers Ireland’s CPD Accredited Employer programme is important, not just in terms of helping us attract, retain and develop our people across all areas of the business, but also to achieving our strategic business objectives, preparing us for future challenges, and enabling us to achieve results on both a local and international level.
