Over 5,700 Employees Sign Up For JAM Card Training

NOW Group has celebrated the success of its inaugural "JAMUARY" Challenge, which saw over 5,700 employees from businesses across Ireland participate in JAM Card training.

The January initiative encouraged businesses, including the Rathbane Group, Terex, and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, to become JAM Card Friendly, equipping staff with the knowledge and tools to support individuals with invisible disabilities.

"We are delighted by the response to the inaugural JAMUARY Challenge," said Maeve Monaghan, CEO of NOW Group. "Over 5,700 employees stepping up to prioritise inclusion in just a few weeks demonstrates the commitment of businesses across Ireland to create environments where everyone feels valued. This is just the beginning, and we're excited to see the long-term impact this initiative will have on communities." To further drive the initiative's growth, NOW Group has appointed Raj Kher as Director of Business Development & Partnerships. Mr. Kher, with his extensive experience in IT, SaaS, and data-driven analytics, will focus on expanding the JAM Card's reach and forming strategic partnerships to support its ambitious goal of assisting 1 million people with invisible disabilities.

"We're equally thrilled to welcome Raj to the team, whose strategic vision and passion for inclusivity will drive JAM Card's next chapter of growth," said Ms. Monaghan.

The JAM Card initiative aims to raise awareness and understanding of invisible disabilities, such as autism, chronic pain, mental health conditions, and sensory sensitivities.
