WP Engine Ireland’s Great Place to Work Journey

WP Engine Ireland was first certified by Great Place to Work in 2019, just three years after the office opened, and this year’s general certification marks the fourth consecutive recognition for our Irish teammates. 

In previous years, WP Engine Ireland has earned placement on a few specialized lists, including Best Workplaces for Women in 2023 and Best Workplaces in Tech in 2021 and 2022.  

Insights Gleaned from This Year’s Best Workplaces in Ireland

After releasing the list of certified companies in Ireland in February, Great Place to Work narrowed down those organizations to create its Best Workplaces for Health and Wellbeing list, highlighting companies focused on creating an environment where personal health and wellbeing are prioritized.t. 

Generally, Great Place to Work noted that companies designated as Best Workplaces all share certain important characteristics. First, Great Workplaces create clear pathways for career development. WP Engine does this primarily through its Career Compass: a set of guidelines that makes it easy for employees to identify key performance metrics that will help them progress in their careers.

Top employers were also more likely to organize events to celebrate their employees and implement policies that strengthen employee engagement, morale, and overall workplace satisfaction.

Employers on this year’s Best Workplaces for Health and Wellbeing list scored highly on key metrics identified in the Trust Index Survey™—a prerequisite for achieving any certification from Great Place to Work.

Employees from companies on the Best Workplaces for Health and Wellbeing list reported high rates of feeling supported by their managers and flexibility in their work to properly balance it with their lives outside the office. In fact, 84% of respondents from certified companies reported feeling encouraged to balance their personal and professional lives, compared to only 54% of respondents feeling the same at non-certified companies.
