Celebrating a Partnership for Inclusive Employment

At Back to Work Connect, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to re-enter the workforce with confidence and support. That’s why we are thrilled to celebrate our ongoing partnership with Dublin Bus, a collaboration that has been making a real difference since 2023.

A Commitment to Inclusivity

Dublin Bus has long been committed to fostering a truly inclusive working environment. As a Returner-friendly employer, they recognise the immense value that individuals re-entering the workforce bring—whether it’s their wealth of experience, fresh perspectives, or transferable skills.

Saoirse Murphy and Andrew Quinn, Talent Development and Diversity Officers at Dublin Bus, reaffirm this commitment:

“We partnered with Back to Work Connect back in 2023, and our decision to do so was rooted within our ongoing dedication in Dublin Bus to promote a truly inclusive working environment.”

Why This Partnership Matters

Through our partnership, we’ve worked closely to help Returners—many of whom are women—navigate their journey back into employment. Dublin Bus has embraced this mission wholeheartedly, offering opportunities that align with our shared vision of diversity and inclusion.

“We really do value the unique background that Back to Work Connect contributes to Dublin Bus. We recognise that Returners are playing a critical role within Dublin Bus by bringing a wealth of experiences, fresh perspectives, and valuable skills.”

By joining forces, we have created pathways for returners to find meaningful roles in a supportive environment. Dublin Bus has demonstrated its dedication to welcoming returners and ensuring they feel valued and empowered in their careers.

How Back to Work Connect Supports Returners & Employers

Back to Work Connect not only supports individuals looking to rejoin the workforce but also assists employers in harnessing this incredible talent pool. Our practical support services help returners build confidence, refresh skills, and connect with employers like Dublin Bus who are eager to embrace diverse talent.

“Back to Work Connect supports both returners and employers through providing really practical support. This aligns greatly with our current objectives in Dublin Bus, as we really are trying to enhance our female representation across the company.”

Looking Ahead

As Dublin Bus continues to expand its services, including the recent launch of the E-spine in January 2025, the company remains dedicated to its partnership with Back To Work Connect. This collaboration not only supports Dublin Bus’s objective of enhancing female representation but also contributes to the overall growth and diversity of their workforce.

As we celebrate this continuing partnership, it’s clear that Dublin Bus and Back To Work Connect are truly “in a different league” when it comes to promoting inclusive employment practices. Together, they are paving the way for a more diverse and dynamic workforce in Ireland’s capital.
