When it comes to having a great working environment, Irish tech company, Workhuman, takes the cake!
The Parkwest based business has just been named as the best place to work in Ireland by the Great Place to Work Institute.
It has also placed at #39 on the list for Best Workplaces in Europe - from a list of over 2,000 companies.
The company has enjoyed a steady rise to the top after coming in third place in 2018, and sixth place in 2017.
Workhuman (formerly Globoforce) was founded by Dubliner Eric Mosley in 1999.
Earlier this year, it announced a major expansion of its operations with the creation of 150 new jobs and the opening of its newly expanded €4M headquarters in Dublin.
Workplace also has headquarters in Massachusetts, USA, and is regarded as the world's fastest growing integrated Social Recognition and continuous performance management software provider.
It has helped some of the world's biggest organisations improve on their culture of human connection, such as LinkedIn, Cisco, and The Hershey Company.
Niamh Graham, vice president of global HR at Workhuman said:
“We were delighted to finish top of the Irish Great Place to Work awards in February of this year and this success at European level is another testament to the value of Workhuman’s culture and the wonderful people who make Workhuman such an incredible place to work.
"This accolade is the perfect illustration of the power of bringing gratitude and better connections into every organisation.
Workhuman’s culture is unique and it reflects the amazing work of our teams across Europe, each of whom have contributed massively to our success.”
Great Place to Work’s CEO, Michael Bush said: “The organisations on this year’s Best Workplaces in Europe list represent forward-thinking cultures that cultivate inclusion for all.
"They understand that employees are people first and foremost and provide them with environments where they can be themselves, build strong bonds, and thrive with their peers.”
In order for a company to receive the accolade, the Great Place to Work Institute measures a company's employees sentiment across a wide range of the business. They also perform a rigorous evaluation of their company's practises (such as training, salaries, work/life balance, and culture).
