Empower your HR team to redefine how they manage and maximise their organisation’s human resources.
The Shireburn Academy opens its doors to support happier and efficient workplaces
The Shireburn Academy officially opened its doors on 30th January 2025, marking the beginning of an exciting journey dedicated to empowering professionals through expert-led learning and development.
The inaugural event brought together clients, partners, HR professionals, and industry leaders for an insightful and inspiring evening. Held at our newly designed learning space in SkyParks Business Centre, Luqa, the event introduced guests to the Academy’s mission: equipping professionals with the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to navigate today’s evolving workplace. Conversations revolved around expert-led courses designed to strengthen strategy, leadership, employment law, and data-driven decision-making—bridging the gap between technology, industry expertise, and human connection.
Shireburn CEO Yasmin De Giorgio highlighted how the Academy is about more than just software—it’s about empowering people. In her speech, she spoke about the rapid pace of technological change and the need for businesses to cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and industry knowledge to truly harness its potential. While Shireburn remains a tech company at its core, she emphasised that technology alone is not enough. Success depends on the way organisations implement these tools—on their values, leadership, and ability to foster a culture of growth.
“We don’t want to just give you software and say, ‘Good luck to you,’” she explained. “We want to take an active role in making sure you get the best out of technology.”
This commitment is reflected in the Academy’s practical, interactive approach to learning. Small-group courses will ensure meaningful discussions and hands-on learning, rather than passive presentations. The Academy is also partnering with leading industry experts—such as employment relations specialists, employer branding consultants, and organisational strategists—to deliver workshops on key topics like ESG, leadership, employment law, values and purpose, and HR metrics and reporting.
The evening was not just a celebration of the Academy’s launch but a reflection of Shireburn’s broader vision: to support businesses in creating workplaces that thrive through learning, innovation, and a strong values-driven approach.
