WITH offices in Limerick and Cork employing over 200 staff in the region, Deloitte has been named one of the ‘Best Workplaces in Ireland’, according to a detailed assessment by the Great Place to Work Institute Ireland.
This is the seventh year in a row that the company has featured in the awards and in this year’s awards Deloitte also ranked in the top 10 but was also one of only three companies to achieve a special recognition award for receiving the accolade for seven years in a row.
Pat Cullen, Managing Partner, Deloitte, said: “We are delighted that we have once again been recognised with this accolade. To receive the award for the seventh year in a row is something that we are immensely proud of and is proof of our commitment to maintaining our status as an employer of choice. We are the only professional services firm with this record. At Deloitte, the friendly and supportive working environment within our firm is something that we believe differentiates us from other companies – and is thanks to all our people throughout the entire firm.”
The Best Workplaces in Ireland study sets out to identify and recognise the finest employers, and therefore the most satisfied workforces in Ireland and throughout the European Union. The Irish study is the largest annual labour force survey undertaken in this country. This year over 100 Irish companies were surveyed with a total workforce of more than 90,000.
It’s the views of the employees that count when deciding if a company will make the Irish ‘50 Best Workplaces’ list. A random selection of employees in each participating organisation complete a confidential questionnaire, rating their employers on almost 60 elements covering communication, training & development, pride, work life balance, diversity and teamwork in the workplace. The questionnaire aims to find out what the employees’ views are on the policies and practices that are in place in their organisation. Surveys are returned directly to the Great Place to Work® Institute by each individual employee, therefore ensuring confidentiality – and honesty!
