AbbVie, the global biopharmaceutical company, has been listed as one of the best places to work in Ireland at the 2024 Great Place to Work Awards. It is the eleventh consecutive year that the company has featured on the list.
AbbVie, which employs approximately 2,600 people across six locations in Ireland, was ranked 13th Best Large Company in Ireland at the awards, and was joined by 36 other companies on this prestigious roll call.
Great Place to Work has previously recognised AbbVie as a Best Workplace for Women for the fifth consecutive year in 2023 and was one of 19 organisations included in the most recent Best Workplaces in Pharma & Healthcare list.
Darren Egan, Site Head at AbbVie Westport, said:
“Being named as one of Ireland’s top large workplaces again this year is an incredible accomplishment for the company and an important recognition of the high-performing, inclusive culture that we’ve created over the past 11 years. I would like to thank colleagues and our various teams for their efforts to foster our company culture and their ongoing dedication to patients around the world."
Great Place to Work assesses the policies and practices in place in organisations under key areas including employee development, hiring practices, employee well-being and social impact. It then benchmarks these against other organisations in other countries.
Employee development continues to be a key priority area for AbbVie and the company has rolled out several mentorship programmes, harnessing the capabilities and experience of leaders, graduates and other colleagues in the organisation.
AbbVie also supports key diversity and inclusion projects, including the launch of the company’s Pride, Asian Leader Network, and Ability, employee groups at its sites across Ireland.
AbbVie’s award-winning Week of Possibilities volunteering initiative and the Employee Giving Campaign also provide employees with opportunities to personally improve and impact the communities in which AbbVie people work and live.
