welcome and hospitality for refugees, asylum seekers, and Irish Travellers. GCS wanted to
implement a campaign to educate the public about asylum seeker, refugee, and Traveller-specific
issues with the goal of becoming a community of sanctuary by 2020. The SWOT and PESTEL
analyses showed that there were many opportunities for this campaign to succeed, as well as an
environment that was continually moving towards more inclusiveness in the community.
Discrimination in the workplace against asylum seekers, refugees, and Travellers was one
of the largest barriers to GCS achieving their goal. To address the issue of discrimination, this
campaign targeted businesses in Galway. The primary audience was businesses in Galway that
have hired or were actively recruiting asylum seekers, refugees, and Travellers. The secondary
audience was businesses that have not hired or were not actively recruiting asylum seekers,
refugees, and Travellers. When this campaign was created, businesses were more inclined to hire
white Irish nationals than non-white Irish Nationals, non-Irish Nationals of colour, or Irish
Travellers. Businesses were not educated on the issues facing asylum seekers, refugees, and
Travellers, the costs of discrimination for businesses, or the incentives of having a diverse
workforce.
The communications plan relied on the key messages that discrimination in the
workplace is illegal and costly to business, having a diverse workforce is beneficial to business
and the Irish economy, and that committing to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment
proves employers’ commitment to the success of their businesses. The goals of this campaign
were to create a welcoming environment for asylum seekers, refugees and Irish travellers by

illegal and costly to businesses, and to increase the percentage of businesses that believe hiring
asylum seekers, refugees and Travellers is good for business and the Irish economy.
strategic partnerships and alliances, public relations, social media, and additional printed
materials. Building the Community of Sanctuary Employers Group was an ongoing task that
relied on consistent and targeted promotion, providing clear and adequate incentives for the
target audience to adopt the desired behaviours, and strong community leadership and
partnerships.

Background
and hospitality for refugees, asylum seekers and Irish Travellers. It is part of the national Places
of Sanctuary Ireland network and incorporates communities which share the objectives of
promoting the integration, inclusion and welfare of refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable
places of welcome and safety. The figures released by the Central Statistics Office in the
‘Diversity’ report show that on Census Night 2016, 18.6% of Galway City’s population were
GSC decided to initiate a campaign to promote a culture of welcome within Galway city
and county for refugees, asylum seekers and Irish Travellers. The campaign is aimed at
educating Galway’s public about Traveller and asylum-specific issues, with a goal of Galway
city and county becoming a Community of Sanctuary to coincide with our designation of
Social Issue
Sanctuary. According to the Discrimination in the Labour Market: Nationality, Ethnicity and the
Recession report, compared to White Irish respondents, Black respondents are three times more
likely to experience discrimination in the workplace and in access to public services, and over
four times more likely to experience discrimination in access to private services. White non-Irish

workplace, seeking work, or in relation to public services. The report also finds that migrants
who arrived in Ireland during or after 2008, when the recession began, are looking for work in an
unstable labour market with high rates of unemployment. These immigrants are almost twice as
likely as White Irish nationals to report discrimination when looking for work (Kingston,
Further, according to a study by the Economic and Social Research Institute, Irish Travellers
are almost ten times more likely than the White Irish group to experience discrimination in
seeking work, and over twenty-two times more likely to experience discrimination in access to
private services (Mcginnity, et al. 2017). Lead author of the report, Frances McGinnity of the
ESRI stated: "Discrimination can be damaging to the individuals who experience it, in terms of
their self-esteem, well-being and for their material outcomes such as their income and access to
valued positions and services. "There are also costs at a societal level. Discrimination in the
labour market may be economically inefficient, as the skills of individuals are not effectively
used. Discrimination can also undermine social cohesion. Monitoring and tackling discrimination
volunteer capacity, is widely recognised as being central to human dignity. The International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) provides for the "right to work,
which includes the right of everyone to the opportunity to gain his living by work which he
freely chooses or accepts.” To become a true community of sanctuary, Galway area employers
must demonstrate that they are welcoming to refugees, asylum seekers and Irish Travellers.
Discrimination in the workplace has the potential to harm businesses’ reputations, negatively
impact employee morale, and cost money in litigation fees when dealing with formal complaints.

The purpose of this campaign is to decrease discrimination against refugees, asylum seekers

PESTEL
Target Audiences
Description
In the Galway business directory, there are over 200 categories of employers in County
Galway. Some of the major industries in Galway include medical technology, technology, retail,
hospitality, healthcare, and tourism. According to GCS, the largest employment sectors currently
hiring migrant workers are home help, healthcare, nurse aids, or hospitality (security and
cleaning). Nationally, according to the 2016 Census, the largest sectors in which immigrants
worked are accommodation and food, IT and communications, manufacturing, and construction.
For this campaign, the primary target audience is businesses in Galway that are actively
recruiting or already employing asylum seekers, refugees, and Travellers. These employers can
6
be identified by surveying the local community of asylum seekers, refugees and Travellers or by
inquiring directly with local businesses. The primary target audience is in the contemplation or
in-action stage and will, therefore, be easier to target than the secondary audience.
The secondary target audience is businesses in Galway not actively recruiting asylum
seekers, refugees and Travellers. These employers are in the precontemplation stage, so part of
the campaign’s aim is to educate these employers and give them incentives for changing their
behaviour.
Consumers are the main influencers of employers’ decisions. If GCS can demonstrate
that becoming a community of sanctuary by 2020 is what the public wants, businesses will see
that becoming a GCS accredited employer will increase business. Trade unions also influence
employers’ behaviours, so partnering with local unions can put pressure on businesses that
discriminate against refugees, asylum seekers and Travellers to change their behaviours.
Additionally, lobbying organisations influence businesses in various sectors. For example, hiring
asylum seekers is a major component in the Irish Tourist Industry Confederation’s (ITIC) long-
term strategic plan (Staff 2018). This will encourage businesses in that industry to branch out of
their ‘normal’ hiring practises. Finally, leaders of other major businesses in Ireland and in
Galway influence the behaviours of other businesses in the same industries or otherwise.

Market research findings
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), “many
employers put forward corporate social responsibility (CSR) as the main reason for hiring
refugees.” A joint survey by the OECD together with the Association of German Chambers of
Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, interviewing some 2,200
German employers in early 2017, found that almost “80% of participating employers who hired
This still leaves 20% of employers who were not motivated by a sense of social responsibility.
Therefore, there is a need to make a business case for hiring asylum seekers, refugees or
Travellers. Additionally, “removing initial barriers, and documenting and promoting the business
case for refugee employment for different types of companies across various sectors and
contexts, is critical to create sustainable employment opportunities for all refugees” ("Engaging
The report also states that making a strong business case is more feasible when employers
face immediate difficulties in filling positions in areas where refugees can contribute, or for
employers who have an active diversity policy aimed at boosting innovation and productivity.
Having a workforce that reflects their diverse customer base is also a strong incentive for many
employers to hire refugees. In addition, employers have stressed that refugees are often a
particularly motivated and committed workforce. ("Engaging with Employers in the Hiring of
Refugees" 24).
Lastly, the UNHCR Report recommends that civil society organisations directly assist
refugees and employers with information about workers rights. Among the participating
8
employers in the OECD survey, “three out of four employers who had hired refugees reported
only few or no difficulties with them in daily work. Accordingly, in total, more than 80% of all
employers who had hired refugees were broadly or fully satisfied with their work” ("Engaging
During the launch event of their eight-year national strategy, the Irish Tourist Industry
Confederation (ITIC) identified the tourism trade as having a major advantage to hiring asylum
seekers to plug skills gaps. “There are lots of talented chefs, tour guides, people with hospitality
skills who are currently not allowed work,” said Eoghan O’Mara Walsh, chief executive of ITIC.
“Tourism has a problem: it can’t find enough qualified workers. If the qualified workers are
within the refugee community, then we should give them every opportunity to earn a living.”
Several panellists at the ITIC event agreed that Irish hospitality is likely to face a talent crunch as
it looks to grow from 8.9 million annual visitors to 13.7 million by 2025. Tourism businesses in
the Galway area can directly benefit from hiring asylum seekers, refugees and Travellers to plug
Additionally, “the State will lose out if businesses do not tap into the skills and
experience that migrants can bring to the workplace,” Virgin Media Ireland chief executive Tony
Hanway said. “We have full employment in the country now, and let’s face it, there really is an
amazing shortage of talent. If we can’t fill the jobs in Ireland, then that economic activity is
Meanwhile, more asylum seekers have been granted work permits under the new right to
work system introduced by the Irish government in June. According to the Irish Times, more
9
than 500 asylum seekers, some 10 per cent of the total number of people living in direct
provision, were granted work permits in August 2018 (Bardon). This means there is an increase
in people currently looking for jobs in the Irish labour market that employers can recruit.
Some work has already been done within Europe to gather employers’ support for the
integration of immigrants and refugees into the labour market in various countries. On 23 May
2017, the European Commission launched the initiative Employers together for integration at the
occasion of the second meeting of the European Dialogue on Skills and Migration to give
visibility to what employers are doing to support the integration of refugees and other migrants
into the labour market. Employers can join this initiative by describing their current and future
actions to support the integration of refugees and other migrants in their workforce and beyond.
Some of the businesses included in this initiative are T-Mobile, CISCO, and Ben & Jerry’s
(Santos). This suggests that there is already a desire by major companies in Europe to commit to
Behaviour goal: Create a welcoming environment for asylum seekers, refugees and Irish
Knowledge goal: Increase the percentage of businesses that know discrimination against
asylum seekers, refugees and Irish Travellers in the workplace is illegal and costly to businesses.
10
Belief Goal: Increase the percentage of businesses that believe hiring asylum seekers,
refugees and Travellers is good for business and the Irish economy.
The major perceived barrier to adopting the desired behaviour is the belief that the
process of hiring asylum seekers and refugees is complicated and takes too much time to
navigate. Irish Times reporter Sorcha Pollak has reported on Twitter that many asylum seekers
have contacted her saying that employers have refused to consider them for job openings because
Since 18.6% of Galway City’s population are non-Irish nationals according to the 2016
Census, having a workforce that reflects their diverse customer base is a strong benefit for many
employers to hire refugees, asylum seekers or Travellers. Businesses also want access to a
network of motivated and committed possible future employees. Another benefit to adopting the
desired behaviour of hiring refugees, asylum seekers and Travellers is positive public relations
that will lead to an increase in business. Lastly, GCS could offer free promotion of businesses on
11
Potential strategies the target audience identifies that might motivate
them to perform the behaviour
One potential strategy identified by businesses that might motivate them to perform the
desired behaviour is the facilitation of employers’ awareness that while hiring refugees and
asylum seekers can be challenging, they stand to gain a lot if they hire a workforce that is
diverse, adaptable and willing to learn. Another potential strategy is showcasing positive
examples through testimonies of employers and refugees, asylum seekers or Travellers and
demonstrate how their specific skills have been used by companies ("Engaging with Employers
The main competing behaviour is businesses choosing to hire only white Irish nationals or white
non-Irish nationals.

Communications Channels
There are many easy and cost-effective communications channels that can be used to
communicate the key messages to the target audiences. According to Introduction to Social
Marketing, strategic alliances and partnerships, face-to-face marketing, public relations, and
social media provide the most opportunities to stretch the organisation’s budget as far as possible
while maximising the impact of the campaign’s key messages on the target audiences. In
addition to these channels, printed materials will help promote visibility of the campaign within

The Centre of Excellence for Public Sector Marketing states “the primary value of
working with these partners towards an integrated approach is that they have the ability to move
beyond a public education role to one where they can offer viable solutions at the appropriate
14
Face-to-Face Marketing
Building strong personal relationships with the businesses that will be recruited for the
Community of Sanctuary Employer’s group is vital to the campaign’s success. Direct face-to-
face contact is the first step in identifying the initial employers that may want to become
Infographics
Educating employers on why they should adopt the desired behaviour is an important
step to implementing this campaign. Distributing infographics to employers will directly and
simply communicate the key messages and the incentives for them to become part of the
Community of Sanctuary Employers Group. To help employers understand who they should be
hiring and why, sample infographics were created to educate them on the unique issues facing
refugees, asylum seekers, and Travellers. Finally, infographics that list the benefits of a diverse
workforce will reinforce the idea that hiring asylum seekers, refugees, and Travellers is good for
their business and the economy. All infographic examples were created with a free software
called Canva. Canva is free and easy to use, and it provides templates that can be saved to keep

accredited with the Community of Sanctuary Employers group. This clearly communicates the
key messages of the campaign and is designed to remind the accredited employers of the
incentives and purpose of the group. Some of these key messages are “the skills and talents of
asylum seekers, refugees and Travellers should not be wasted. When effectively included in the
15
labour market, they can help meet the growing needs for skills across the various sectors in
Ireland and make our economy stronger” and “employers can make an essential contribution in
promoting the inclusion of asylum seekers, refugees and travellers in the labour market and
Events
Special events, seminars, and workshops will help bolster the lasting relationship GCS
has with local businesses and will influence the target audience to adopt the desired behaviours
by directly communicating the campaign’s key messages. Once an initial group of employers has
been identified and have expressed their desire to commit to becoming a Community of
Sanctuary Employer, a launch event can be held where these employers will be publicly
acknowledged and promoted, and where other local businesses can attend to learn what it means
Workshops and special events can be held throughout the year for members of the
Employer’s Group for them to network with and recruit potential employees, learn more about
anti-discrimination policies and laws, and receive help navigating the process of hiring a refugee
or asylum seeker. Providing practical support for members of the group on any issues that may
prevent them from adopting or maintaining the desired behaviour will help sustain the
Employer’s Group and bring Galway closer to becoming a community of sanctuary by 2020.
Public Relations
Public relations is a tactic that can maximise visibility without requiring significant
funding. Successful public relations will generate positive mentions of GCS and the Community
16
of Sanctuary Employers Group, increasing the campaign’s credibility with both the public and
Press releases
Press releases are an effective way to introduce a new campaign, inform the public, and
attract the attention of the target audiences. According to MediaLive, about 34% of adults read a
regional newspaper each week, so sending a press release to editors at the Connacht Tribune and
the Galway City Tribune introducing the campaign may generate attention (See Appendix F). If
additional funding is acquired for the campaign, paid advertisements can also be placed in both
newspapers.
Radio
According to MediaLive, about 34% of adults aged 20-50 years old listen to Galway Bay
FM. Therefore, another tactic for this campaign to use is a radio interview or segment. This is a
particularly good way to promote the campaign through a human-interest story. For example, the
segment could feature a local business and a refugee, asylum seeker or Traveller employee
telling the story about the positive impact the employee has had on the business, and the impact
the employer has had on the asylum seeker, refugee or Traveller. Like newspaper ads, paid radio
advertisement spots could be purchased if more funding is acquired for this campaign.
Social Media
Facebook advertisement
While social media may not be the primary method for communicating with the target
audience, it is important to utilise it for ongoing promotion of the campaign. Social media is also
17
a tool that can be used to promote the benefits of being part of this network. As an incentive to
become part of this network, you can promise businesses that you will promote them on social
media, on printed materials, in conversations or at events. Social media can also be used to
promote any upcoming events that may be of interest to the target audience.
Facebook is particularly good for cheap advertising directed towards a specific target
audience. In Ireland, 2.2 million people ages 13+ are on Facebook, with 28.9% aged 25-34,
20.7% aged 35-44, and 10.8% aged 45-54 according to MediaLive. With Facebook advertising,
GCS can choose the budget and build a highly specific audience. Some of the ways to segment
the audience are through interests, users connected to your page, gender, languages, country,
workplace, education, and age. The reach or distribution of ads on Facebook is determined by
several factors including target, competition, performance history, and budget. Facebook will
give you a "suggested bid range" to start which is based on the number of other advertisers
competing to reach your chosen target. However, you set the overall budget, daily maximum
Social media, particularly Facebook, is the perfect medium for sharing human interest
stories that are relevant to the campaign and to the target audience. In a similar fashion as the
radio segment or interview, promoting the relationship between an employer and a refugee,
asylum seeker or Traveller employee will help with continuous promotion of the Employers
18
Email
Email is a useful tool for maintaining consistent contact with members of the Employers
Group. Setting up biweekly or monthly email blasts in a newsletter style will keep members
further informed about issues that affect them, upcoming events that may be of interest, and
Visibility within the community is another incentive for local businesses to join the
Employers Group. Once a business has been accredited, they can display a sticker in their
windows for the public to see, or wherever they choose within their business. This is a good way
to promote visibility. This is a tactic used in similar campaigns such as the Galway Capital of
Implementation Steps
Phase one:
1. Start with target audience most ready for action - Identify employers that have hired
3. Promote these connections publicly as positive for both the employees and employers
4. Invite businesses to the launch event for the Community of Sanctuary Employers Group
5. Send press releases, social media posts, put up flyers promoting launch event to further
19
Phase two:
2. Keep the momentum going with newsletter email updates to businesses, educational and
networking events, and continuous promotion on social media and in the press.
Timeline
The implementation of this campaign initially will require very little money however
some will be required throughout the campaign. The communications channels identified in this
plan have purposely been chosen as the most cost-effective methods to adequately communicate
the key messages to the target audiences. A budget of €0 to €3,000 will cover the costs
associated with the communications channels identified in the communications plan. With a
20
budget of €3,000 to €8,000, there is potential to reach more of the target audience through paid
Finding sources for additional funding can be difficult for new non-profit organisations.
Along with the other benefits that come with partnering with other community organisations,
partnerships also provide the opportunity for organisations to pool both financial and human
resources. Community centres or universities may be able to offer event space for free or at
discounted costs and partner organisations may agree to assist with any costs associated with
promotional materials or may offer promotion on their social media accounts and printed
materials.
Corporate partners have several ways to support social marketing campaigns such as cash
grants and contributions, in-kind contributions, use of their distributions, and cause-related
marketing campaigns. Since corporations are included in the target audiences for this campaign,
this is a good resource to pursue in the future once GCS has established credibility in the

Travellers.
