Mark O’Reilly – Fitvision

At Fitvision we focus on building healthy, happy and engaged teams and leaders.

We work closely with our clients to create a positive work environment with employee wellbeing as a foundational metric of success. We understand the impact that wellbeing initiatives have on the workforce and how best to foster engagement, productivity and efficiency through dynamic wellbeing strategies. Fitvision’s goal is to help enhance the sense of community within organisations through wellbeing.

I founded the company in 2014 and our head office is in Fitzwilliam Square South in Dublin 2. Our clients are situated across the UK, US, Asia and Europe and include Primark, Indeed, Oracle, Workhuman and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Fitvision’s services encompass physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and they are also supported through the Fitvision App, a platform which provides regular metrics and helpful resources to employees. These services include gym facility management; fitness classes; educational workshops and seminars; one to one coaching and leadership and team development programmes.

The MSc in Work and Organisational Psychology/Behaviour appealed to me as I felt this would enable us to further serve the range of clients we work with in Fitvision. Understanding the dynamics that may help or hinder the wellbeing of employees has been captured extensively throughout the various modules within the MSc and I have already taken so much value from the course. The fact many of the lecturers have also worked as consultants to organisations adds another layer to the course, where they bring real world examples and match it to the academic literature. The assignments are very practical also and allow you to apply your current working context to the various frameworks covered within the modules. I have found this aspect extremely beneficial as a business owner. There is a direct correlation between the topics covered on the course and how you can then apply that knowledge to enhance your own current role.

I would highly recommend the MSc in Work and Organisational Psychology/Behaviour.
