Mayo consultant helping businesses strengthen teams and reduce staff turnover

Catherine Costello founder of People & Purpose Consultancy.

A Mayo-based consultant is helping businesses across the West tackle one of the most persistent challenges facing employers today: keeping staff connected, confident, and committed in an increasingly complex workplace.

Catherine Hannon, founder of People & Purpose Consultancy, has built her service around one clear goal — providing practical, everyday solutions that make work easier for both employers and employees. 

With more than 25 years’ experience supporting leaders and organisations, she recognised a growing need for hands-on guidance for businesses struggling with communication gaps, unclear expectations, and rising staff turnover.

Her consultancy offers four core supports: Reviews & Recommendations to identify what’s working and what needs attention; Regular Check-ins to keep leaders on track and solve problems early; Project Support for onboarding, internal communication, engagement initiatives and change; and Leadership Support for managers dealing with difficult conversations or people challenges.

Hannon notes that many of the issues she sees are linked to the realities of modern, multigenerational workplaces. With Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z working side by side, employers are managing a wide mix of communication styles, expectations and working habits. When these differences aren’t understood, connection weakens — and attrition rises.

Her work focuses on strengthening that connection. By improving clarity, communication and everyday engagement habits, she helps businesses create environments where people feel informed, involved and able to contribute. 

The result is stronger teams, better retention and a more stable culture.

Hannon will be available to meet local businesses at the Mayo Meet on 23rd October in Ballinrobe, where she will speak with employers about practical ways to improve workplace communication, culture and staff engagement.
