Genos Grow improves wellbeing of chefs across Ireland's premium hotels

Staff turnover reduced by 50% and high-pressure kitchens were transformed into thriving teams. On an individual level, one executive chef dropped 20kg, overcame two heart attacks, quit smoking, and rediscovered joy in the kitchen. This isn’t just transformation—it’s a reclaimed life.

At the heart of this change is Una Crilly, a Genos Certified Practitioner and founder of Positive Impact. With over 30 years of experience as a leadership consultant in the hospitality and retail sectors, Una tackled the challenges of burnout, low morale, and high staff turnover in Ireland’s top hotel kitchens.

Using Genos Grow—a personalised, interactive EI development program—Una empowered executive chefs to lead high-performing, resilient, and supportive teams.

In this case study, Una shares actionable insights on fostering accountability, commitment, and a sense of community. The results speak volumes: cohesive teams, happier workplaces, and a 50% reduction in staff turnover.

With the right tools and mindset, Una proves even the most high-pressure environments can transform into healthy, positive spaces.
