Volkswagen Group Ireland is delighted to announce that they have once again been officially recognised as one of Ireland's Best Workplaces.

This prestigious accolade was announced at the Great Place to Work Awards in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Dublin on Wednesday 25th February.

Tom Fleming, Director of Human Resources, Volkswagen Group Ireland, said: "We are proud to be recognised as one of Ireland's Best Workplaces for the third year in a row. As the market leader in the automotive industry, the strength of our brands - Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat - is the envy of our competitors but this accolade also emphasises the strength of our employer brand in the eyes of our people. We will celebrate this success but we will not become complacent and will continue in our never ending quest to become a truly great workplace for all our people."

CEO of Great Place to Work Ireland John Ryan said: "With significantly more organisations putting themselves forward to be assessed and benchmarked this year, being accredited as a great workplace is an even more relevant marker of performance than ever. No longer is being 'great' a nice to have - rather, it is essential in the race for talent, and to ensure you have a high performing organisation."

The event was also attended by Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin T.D., who acknowledged the great accomplishment of all organisations present, saying: "These awards reflect the hard work, commitment, drive and innovation of a diverse range of workplaces. They also recognise the importance that is placed on creating a positive atmosphere in which employees can thrive and excel. "
