Commenting on the announcement, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin TD, said: ““I wish to congratulate you on your superb achievement in the 2008 ‘Best Companies to Work for in Ireland’ competition. Your organisation has demonstrated exceptional commitment to attitudes and policies that make your organisation a great place to work. By setting a high standard for best practice in the workplace, you are raising the bar and other organisations should strive to emulate your success, thus creating a better and more productive workplace for all”
The Best Companies study sets out to identify and recognise the finest employers - and therefore the most satisfied workforces - in Ireland and throughout the European Union. The Irish study is the largest annual labour force survey undertaken in this country.

Pat McGrath, Chief Executive of PM Group said: “We believe a key to our success is the quality of our people so we were delighted to be named as one of the top 50 companies to work for.  It is an honour to receive such an award from our employees and from the Great Place to Work Institute Ireland”. 

It's the views of the employees that count when deciding if a company will make the Irish top 50 list.  A random selection of employees in each participating organisation completes a confidential questionnaire, rating their employers on 60 elements covering credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie in the workplace. Surveys are returned directly to the Great Place to Work Institute by each individual employee, thus ensuring confidentiality. In addition, PM Group completed a cultural audit focusing on its people policies, practices and philosophies.
