Unlike traditional leadership programmes, Smurfit Westrock's female development programme 'Rise' was designed to foster a more inclusive culture by empowering female colleagues. Building on the organisation's core values, Rise creates meaningful change not only for participants, but for the entire organisation.

Special guests Deirdre Cregan, Elaine Hayes, and Adriana Bergés Muñoz De Alba  share the story behind the programme which earned the 2024 CIPD HR Awards in Ireland's Learning and Development (large) category award.

Watch the webinar to learn how this inspiring initiative is driving lasting impact.

  • Deirdre Cregan, Group Director Talent & Inclusion, Smurfit Westrock
  • Elaine Hayes, Senior Group Talent Manager, Smurfit Westrock
  • Adriana Bergés Muñoz De Alba, Group Talent Specialist, Smurfit Westrock
