Mayo firm awarded 'great place to work' accolade

Westport firm AbbVie has been chosen as a 2023 Best Workplace in Pharma and Healthcare by Great Place To Work Ireland.

Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, has named biopharmaceutical company AbbVie on their 2023 Best Workplaces in Pharma and Healthcare in Ireland list.

This is the second consecutive year that AbbVie has appeared on this prestigious list and AbbVie is one of only 20 companies and organisations recognised.

Ireland's Best Workplaces in Pharma and Healthcare 2023 is an industry recognition compiled by Great Place to Work Ireland honouring organisations building great cultures in the pharma and healthcare industries.

The recognition highlights listed companies as employers of choice in an increasingly competitive talent market.

To be considered for Ireland's Best Workplaces in Pharma and Healthcare in 2023, participating organisations are required to be certified as a Great Place to Work.

AbbVie, which employs more than 2,600 people across six different Irish locations from Sligo to Cork, and Mayo to Dublin, was named as one of the Best Large Workplaces in Ireland at the Great Place to Work 2023 Awards earlier this year – the tenth consecutive year that the company has featured on the list.

The company was also acknowledged as one of the Best Workplaces for Women in Ireland for the fifth year in a row and was ranked number 4 on the World’s Best Workplaces list in November.

Speaking about this most recent accolade, Gary O’Mahoney, HR Director for Ireland, said: “Being named as one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces in Pharma & Healthcare again this year is an incredible accomplishment for the company.

"It is a validation of our efforts to create an inclusive workplace that supports employee development and also empowers them to make a broader impact in the communities where they live and work.

“I thank colleagues across our six locations in Ireland for their commitment to our company culture and ongoing dedication to patients around the world,” he added.
