Galway company named one of the best workplaces in Ireland

A the Galway-based and recruitment firm has been named as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland in 2017.

This is the third consecutive year that Collins McNicholas has been named as a top Irish workplace, and it was also recognised as the ninth Best Small Workplace in Ireland.

“We are absolutely delighted to be recognised as a Great Place to Work for the third year in a row, and to make the top ten Great Places to Work in Ireland for the second year in a row was really special and something we are really proud of,” said Niall Murray, Managing Director of Collins McNicholas.

“It is a fantastic endorsement of the excellent employee engagement initiatives that are being worked on throughout the country in a variety of companies big and small and it clearly shows that employee engagement is alive and well not just in the multinationals, but in Irish SMEs as well,” he added.

The company was recently presented with the award at the Great Place to Work ‘Best Workplaces in Ireland’ awards at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin.

With six offices in Galway, Sligo, Dublin, Cork, Athlone and Limerick, Collins McNicholas is the only nationally-based recruitment company headquartered outside of Dublin.

Great Place to Work Ireland which awards companies based on their policies, practices, and employee surveys, has been recognising great workplaces for fifteen years.

The organisation has noticed an increase in the number of high-trust workplaces in Ireland.

CEO of Great Place to Work Ireland John Ryan said that this is an indication that organisations are continuing to discover the business benefits of developing a culture where all employees are empowered to do their best work.

“It’s clear from the results of our assessment survey, that employees from Ireland’s Best Workplaces, who are in a unique position to know, believe that clients and customers can trust their organisations,” he said.
