NEW HP JOBS SHOW BENEFIT OF DIVERSITY
Cllr Catherine Murphy has welcomed Hewlett Packard’s major jobs announcement and describes it as a welcome change to the doom and gloom.
The new support service will deal with HP customers in 16 European languages and will add to their services unit which we are told by Managing Director of HP Ireland has been one of the best-performing at the firm with a growth of 15% annually.
The range of languages and nationalities employed at HP are particularly in evidence at the bus stop outside the site according to Cllr Murphy. While there was an expectation that many of our international residents would return home with the arrival of the recession, the Hewlett Packard announcement demonstrates there can be real advantages to that diversity.
Not only will additional people be employed on the Leixlip site, they will create a need for support services which has a welcome knock on effect.
