GLOBAL biopharmaceutical leader, AbbVie, has once again been named as one of Ireland's best places to work at the 2026 Great Place to Work Awards.

Ben Schroeder, site head, AbbVie Westport, following the company being named as one of Ireland’s Great Places to Work. The global biopharmaceutical company was ranked No. 3 Super Large Organisation in Ireland at the awards. This is the 13th consecutive year that AbbVie has featured among Ireland’s top employers and recognises a high-performing workplace.

Employing approximately 2,900 talented individuals across six locations in Ireland, including Westport, AbbVie was ranked No. 3 Super Large Organisation in Ireland.

The Great Place to Work Institute assesses the policies and practices in place in organisations under nine key areas including employee development, hiring practices, employee achievement recognition, and communication. It then benchmarks these against other organisations in each country.

The organisation publishes five different lists at its annual awards, including the Best Super Large Workplaces in Ireland (more than 550 employees). AbbVie was joined by 20 other companies on this roll call.

Great Place to Work has also recently recognised AbbVie as a Best Workplace for Women for the eighth consecutive year.

Ben Schroeder, site head of AbbVie Westport, said: “Being named once again as one of Ireland’s top large workplaces is a tremendous honour for AbbVie in Ireland, and we are proud to be part of this achievement at our Westport site, where we employ more than 1,400 people, many of whom are from the local community. We are proud of this recognition and the work we do every day for patients and customers around the world."

Jim Flynn, CEO of Great Place to Work Ireland, added: “I am delighted to congratulate AbbVie on being recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland 2026. This recognition acknowledges the consistent effort put into creating an engaging, high-performing workplace, where people feel valued.

“Being named a Best Workplace is a huge accomplishment, underpinned by trusted leadership, a clear commitment to people, and a genuine focus on sustainable organisational success.”
