Scurri Shoots Up The List Of The Best Workplaces In Ireland & Reaffirms Its Position As Wexford’s Best Place To Work

Scurri, the Wexford-based software provider that connects and optimises the eCommerce ordering, shipping, and delivery process is delighted to announce that it has been officially recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland in 2020. 

Scurri was recognised at the 18th annual Great Place to Work Best Workplaces in Ireland awards in the Clayton Hotel on Burlington Road, Dublin on Wednesday 26th February 2020. This is Scurri’s second consecutive year to be named as a top Irish workplace, which is assessed through Great Place to Work’s robust ‘Trust Index©’ employee survey and a thorough ‘Culture Audit©’ assessment of their policies and practices.

Scurri was recognised as the 12th Best Small Workplace in Ireland 2020 from a list of 37 companies, which includes, Asana, Adecco and Mars Ireland. Scurri was also the only Wexford company from the full list of 91 companies nationwide. This year’s awards saw Scurri move up the ranking from 26th place to 12th out of a total of 37 companies in its category.

“We are thrilled and honoured to be a Best Place to Work, but also that this year we have moved 14 places up the list. This is validation that our continued efforts to create a people-centric culture which focuses on family, fun and success are working. We are very proud of our Great Place to Work team and how engaged the whole company was throughout the process. We are also very proud to be the only Wexford company in the list and it’s really encouraging to see so many regionally-based companies in the list overall. This is clear proof of the quality of life and career that people can achieve outside of Dublin” said Rory O’Connor, CEO and Founder of Scurri. 

Scurri has a team of 30 people based in their Wexford Town office and has plans for extensive 2020 growth.

“Strong economic conditions have resulted in another record year for the total number of employees participating in the Best Workplaces in Ireland process. The ‘war for talent’ is continuing apace with the best employers in Ireland competing for specific industry-critical skills, while a range of external social pressures is forcing organisations to develop innovative initiatives to help alleviate burdens faced by their employees.” said Cathal Divilly, Partner at Great Place to Work® Ireland.

“Reaching the criteria to appear on the list of Best Workplaces in Ireland is a massive achievement, and has provided a great platform for these organisations to differentiate themselves both externally and internally as employers of choice. While attractive benefits packages will go some way towards employee satisfaction, the companies on this year’s list have realised that their unique and distinctive cultures are what will mark them out in a crowded market. This year’s survey findings show that employees in these workplaces feel greater levels of organisational pride than ever before, which is being supported by internal CSR initiatives that emphasise employee ownership and decision-making. Organisations are responding to the housing crisis and commuter pressures by offering more flexible work-from-home and work-life balance arrangements. Employees are seeking a greater sense of purpose from their roles, and companies are attempting to meet this by implementing strong green initiatives with a real, authentic focus on sustainability. Overall, these companies are marking themselves out by providing a distinctive sense of meaning in both personal and organisational roles for their staff. Each and every organisation on this year’s list has reason to celebrate: I’d like to take the time to say congratulations to all of Ireland’s Best Workplaces 2020!”
