Premier Group is the best company in Ireland to work in the 100 – 250 employees category
Celebrating its fifth consecutive year as one of Ireland’s 50 Best Companies to work for, Premier Group has an extra reason to celebrate this year as the Company has been recognised as the Best Company in Ireland to work for in the 100-250 employees category.
Following a detailed assessment by the Great Place to Work® Institute Ireland, Premier Group has been recognised for the first time as one of the Top Ten Companies to work for in Ireland and the Number One Company to work for in the 100-250 employees category. The announcement was made at an awards ceremony last week (the 25th of February) in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin, attended by over 400 guests last night. Brian Murphy, Managing Director of Premier Group Ireland commented: “We are delighted with our significant achievement in the Best Companies Survey. Being recognised as Ireland’s Best Company to work for in our size category is a fantastic achievement, particularly since it was voted for by our own employees. The people at Premier Group are our biggest asset and we are extremely proud of them. Despite the fact that Ireland is experiencing difficult economic times our People have maintained and optimistic attitude and I am confident that our exceptional culture and positive outlook will play a huge part in seeing us through this challenging economic period”. The Best Companies 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. It’s the views of the employees that count when deciding if a company will make the Irish ‘50 Best Companies to Work for’ 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! Premier Group is Ireland's leading recruitment consultancy. Established in Cork in 1988 by Pat Fitzgerald, Premier Group now has offices worldwide following the significant acquisition of Imprint PLC in May 2008.
