The US communications analytics and technology company, PublicRelay has announced it will be creating 10 new roles in Cavan. This expansion will take place over the next few months and is happening because the company is taking on more office space in Cavan Digital Hub.
This is where the Irish operation is currently based but they also have an office in Dublin. The company’s Irish-based workers will be returning to the office soon following the implementation of a hybrid strategy. They are now planning to grow their team with roles including associate analyst and media analyst.
The company provides media analytics and monitoring technology for brands. They are headquartered in Virginia and opened their second office in Ireland in 2019. The Cavan office was opened with just two team members. Since then, the team has grown to 17 and is expected to grow by a further 10 with the most recent recruitment drive over the next few months.
Karl Finn, Director of Irish Operations at PublicRelay said: “We are excited to be scaling up in Cavan with the continued support of IDA Ireland, Cavan County Council, and the team at Cavan Digital Hub. Cavan is a great location and the facilities at the hub and the support of the hub’s management have enabled us to focus on growing our team here. We have been fortunate on growing our team here. We have been fortunate to attract some great talent and they have been instrumental to our success in the region. I’m very confident that our current recruitment campaign will be just as successful.”
They have now secured the whole top floor in the Cavan Digital Hub and the manager at the hub, Leanne Connell has said the expansion illustrates the commitment to Ireland and Cavan.

The concept of a four-day working week is continuing to gain momentum in Ireland. Organisations are now realising since the pandemic that not all employees need to be in the same place working together. Instead, people can work from home and this has not had a poor impact on productivity levels.
More and more job listings are offering remote and hybrid working models and numerous companies are also contacting the 4 Day Week Global Campaign to see how this can be a reality in their business. COVID-19 has helped people gain more work-life balance since it cut commuting times massively.
As a result, employees are now looking for more time to themselves to enjoy their lives and the four-day working week is something that can help them achieve this. With that being said, some are still confused about what it really entails: is it 5 days’ worth of work crammed into 4 days, or are employees working a 40-hour week in the 4 days? Alternatively, are they missing out on 1 day of work per week?
It used to mean that workers were forced to take fewer hours with less pay. However, in today’s world, the definition is more so about a reduced or shortened working week that does not result in less pay or impact benefits. The campaign refers to it as a 100:80:100 approach whereby 100 percent of the pay is granted for 80 percent of the hours with 100 percent of the output.
Under this concept, the working week goes from 40 hours per week down to 32 hours and this is just a starting point. Therefore, over time, it looks different for each organisation. Very few organisations have opted for the reduced hours or for closing their doors entirely for one day per week. However, much more think alternatives like flexible working schedules and staggered shifts that allow companies to increase productivity as opposed to reducing it will work best.
