Optimise Award Feels Right for Galway-based company
Feels Right, the innovative Galway tech start-up which specialises helping companies reward employees with rewards that allow them to devote their efforts to their work, was recently presented with an award for being an IEDR Optimise Fund winner.
Feels Right is an employee reward, recognition and compensation platform which enables companies to buy credit for their staff to have personal tasks completed for them whilst they are working – such as new parents support, dog walking, errand running, sitting in for tradespeople, as well as health and wellness services i.e. massage, reflexology, acupuncture, nutrition and physio.
The reception was held in the Shelbourne Hotel with the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Alex White, and David Curtin, Chief Executive of the IE Domain Registry in attendance.
Speaking about the award, Tara Dalrymple CEO and Co-Founder of Feels Right said: “Since winning the award, we have been working closely with our allocated web design partner in rebranding our current site. This has produced not only an amazing looking website, but has enhanced the offering and created a truly great user experience”.
Minister Alex White told guests that the country’s return to economic growth created new chances for the business sector.
“That coupled with renewed consumer confidence, and the extra money – albeit modest – that is now finding its way into people’s pay packets all provide opportunities for Irish business.
“The growth rate of the digital part of the economy is about 20% each year. That’s why the Statement of Government Priorities put an emphasis on the digital economy, because it has huge potential to help sustain and accelerate the recovery in jobs and incomes that is now underway,” he said.
It’s the latest award for Feels Right, which also scooped the ‘One to watch’ in the ICT category of the SCCUL Enterprise Awards 2014, and has been listed in top 20 tech start-ups to watch in 2015.
