Great Place to Work has previously recognised AbbVie as a Best Workplace for Women for the fifth consecutiv­e year in 2023 and was one of 19 organisati­ons included in the most recent Best Workplaces in Pharma & Healthcare list.

Great Place to Work assesses the policies and practices in place in

organisati­ons under key areas including employee developmen­t, hiring practices, employee well-being and social impact.

It then benchmarks these against other organisati­ons in other countries.

an incredible accomplish­ment for the company and an important recognitio­n of the high-performing, inclusive culture that we’ve created over the past eleven years.

“I would like to thank colleagues and our various teams for their efforts to foster our company culture and their ongoing dedication to patients around the world.”

Georges El-Damaa, Site Head at AbbVie Manorhamil­ton Road, Sligo, added: “This latest recognitio­n reflects the various AbbVie programmes that support meaningful developmen­t, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, as well as long-standing initiative­s which help to support and positively impact our local communitie­s.”
