Esri Ireland named a top Irish workplace for 10th consecutive year

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has received a Laureate Award at the Great Place to Work Ireland Awards 2026. The company was recognised for achieving Best Workplace status for 10 consecutive years.

In addition, Esri Ireland ranked in 4th place on the Best Mid-Sized Workplaces in Ireland list for 2026. The company received the accolade at the 24th annual Great Place to Work Ireland Awards, which took place during a gala ceremony at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road in Dublin.

The awards programme is based on direct feedback from employees about the workplace experience. Esri Ireland is committed to making the company a great place to work and prioritises enhanced employee opportunities, support, and a sense of belonging that keep its people engaged and connected.

Joanne McLaughlin, Head of Marketing, Esri Ireland, said: “10 years ago, we believed Esri Ireland was already a great place to work, and our annual Trust Surveys have confirmed it. Since joining the Great Place to Work programme, we have more than doubled our employees and our company growth. For us, our Best Workplace culture and our organisational success go hand in hand. Over the last decade, we have endeavoured to deliver an exceptional workplace experience for our people, while championing employee voices within the company. This milestone is a proud moment for our employees, past and present, and one we’re thrilled to celebrate together.  

“It is also an honour to be ranked in the top five among Ireland’s best mid-sized organisations. At Esri Ireland, retention is not accidental; it’s intentional. By combining authentic storytelling, recognition, and continuous improvement, we’ve built a workplace where people want to stay and succeed.”
