We were delighted to be named one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces™ 2022 at the 20th Annual Great Place to Work® Awards Ceremony, which took place virtually on March 23rd. Global Shares was listed in the top 25 medium-sized Best Workplaces™ (100 – 250 employees), based on our employee numbers in Ireland in 2021.
This is Global Shares’ second consecutive year to be named as a top Irish workplace, and follows the announcement in December 2021 that we had achieved our Great Place to Work® accreditation for 2022.
In more good news we were also awarded a surprise Special Award by Great Place to Work® at the ceremony:
