This is CluneTech’s eighth consecutive year to be named as a top Irish workplace, which is based on direct feedback from employees, provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about the workplace experience.

This was a notable year for the Best Workplaces Awards, as it is the first time that 100 companies were recognised.

Speaking about the recognition, CluneTech Founder and CEO, Terry Clune, said that 'being recognised as one of Ireland’s best workplaces for eight years running is an achievement that myself and the leadership team are incredibly proud of'.

"I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of our employees as without their ongoing support and feedback, we simply wouldn’t be where we are today," he added.

"Behind every great place to work is truly magnificent people and I can’t wait to see where the next 8 years take us."

CluneTech also won the 'Team Award' due in large part to their Great Place to Work Team, which consists of volunteers from all areas across the group.

Essentially, they are the voice of the employees, ensuring that their views are brought to management.

Their aim is to promote positive change through a happier work environment, both now and in the future. 

Commenting on the special award, Rachael O’Shea, Head of Employee Experience at CluneTech, said that 'the consistent way they share their thoughts and suggestions on what we could be doing better truly illustrates the trust they have in us to turn their feedback into tangible change'.
