Kilkenny company CluneTech named one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces for Women

Kilkenny-based software technology group, CluneTech, have been officially recognised as one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces for Women in 2024.

Now in its sixth year, the Best Workplaces for Women recognition is a programme that aims to recognise those top organisations which, rather than provide a great work environment for everyone in general, are creating positive and supportive workplaces for women in particular. This year Great Place To Work are recognising 35 organisations, with 2,100 female leaders represented among these organisations.

Boasting a strong female representation at leadership level, women account for 61.5% of CluneTech’s global workforce, which is almost double the industry average of 33% overall female representation in global technology firms, which Deloitte Global predicted would be reached by 2022.

“At CluneTech, our mission is to make business better for our customers and we achieve this through creating innovative, industry-leading technology which, without diversity in our business, would simply not be possible," said Terry Clune, CEO and Founder, CluneTech said,

"It gives me a phenomenal sense of pride that over 61% of our global workforce comprises of extraordinary women, especially within an industry that is typically dominated by men. As an organisation, we do everything we can to ensure that everyone, regardless of their gender, background, race and anything in between, feels supported and empowered to reach their fullest potential. We would like to thank Great Place to Work for this recognition and of course, our incredible people who go above and beyond to ensure our #OneTeam culture is at the heart of everything we do.”

This award takes the global standard Best Workplaces methodology as its basis, and recognises organisations that go above and beyond to ensure that the women in their workforce are treated fairly when it comes to pay, recognition, training and promotion opportunities; where they can take the time off they need to attend to childcare or other family commitments; and where they are encouraged, empowered, and supported to do their best work.
