What employees say

"What I most like about working at Global Shares is the diversity, empowerment, and entrepreneurship, which are the pillars of our culture. There's a ‘Clonakilty taking on the world’ mindset: If you challenge yourself and think big enough, anything's possible.

I've been with the company since 2014. We were a small team back then with big ambitions and we were about to launch our new global software platform onto the market. It's been an amazing experience to watch the company evolve and grow into a truly global leader.

We are continuing to grow at rapid pace. Everybody who works here has an important role to play and can make a difference. It's exciting to be part of!"

What defines us

We've got a diverse, people-centric, employee ownership culture. At the heart of Global Shares' success is our people - our multi-cultural, talented team, who we prioritise through our strongly held core values, very active ‘Global Cares’ wellness programme, Employee Assistance Programme, dynamic fun ‘Show and Tell’ staff webinars, our employee Values Awards, eLearning & virtual training initiatives, and much more.

As an employee-centric organisation we recognise our success would not be possible without our valuable team of employees.

Our core values capture our personality and culture:

• People: We care about our people

As a significantly employee-owned company our staff are all business owners in the company, which creates a real spark and positive workplace.

What inspires us

Global Shares is writing software in Clonakilty that transforms people’s lives all over the world through the power and wealth creation of employee ownership.

Ireland's Prime Minister, Micheál Martin, commented:

“You’ve been on a remarkable journey of innovation and growth; you’ve truly become a global leader. From small beginnings to global offices, you lead from your base here in West Cork. It truly is an inspirational story for what actually is possible where there’s a will”

Our people are at the heart of who we are and what we do and there has never been a more exciting time to work with Global Shares. Benefits include the opportunity to be part of something special, competitive salary, equity options, employee assistance programme, flexible working, active social club, healthcare & the opportunity to travel and work in our global offices if desired.

The outlook for the company is compelling and our team could not be more motivated to succeed.

Word from the top

I'm extremely proud that we have received Great Place to Work certification, and that we've scored higher than our best medium-sized comparators. This is testament to our team and our continuous investment in our people, who are key enablers of our organisational strategy.

As part of the certification process, we spent a lot of time really examining ourselves as a company. We carried out workshops with staff from diverse departments, offices, and backgrounds to re-establish our core values, we did employee engagement surveys to find out what changes were important to people to shape our future HR policies, we established ‘Global Cares’ - our jam-packed wellbeing programme & launched a new eLearning platform. What emerged from our journey to accreditation is that people are at the heart of who we are and what we do.

We know that challenges remain ahead of us, but we've got an exciting five-year HR plan and we'll continue to improve and mature as an accredited Great Place to Work.
