LETTERKENNY, COUNTY DONEGAL, IRELAND - Pramerica Systems Ireland Limited, a software and contact centre subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI), was named among 'Ireland's Best Workplaces' by Great Place to Work® Ireland in the category 'Best Large Workplaces.'

'We're proud to again be included on this prestigious list,' said Caroline Faulkner, senior managing director and chief information officer at Pramerica Ireland. 'This honor recognizes our diverse work environment and our commitment to providing opportunities for career development and work/life balance. Our corporate culture of mutual respect and teamwork means that we celebrate our professional accomplishments together - and this award is shared by everyone in our organization. We have an incredible team of talented people at Pramerica, and each and every one of them makes this company a great place to work.'

The Great Place to Work study identifies and recognises the finest employers - and therefore the most satisfied workforces - in Ireland and throughout the European Union. Employees in each participating organisation complete a confidential questionnaire, rating their employers on almost 60 elements covering credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie in the workplace. Surveys are returned to the Great Place to Work® Institute by each individual employee to ensure confidentiality and honesty. More than 90,000 employees in over 100 Irish companies participated in the survey.

'At this stage, most organisations have seen the importance of defining their culture and supporting its development with practices, real-lived values and a clear set of desired behaviours to drive organisational performance,' said John Ryan, CEO of Great Place to Work Ireland. 'In the past, only the most progressive companies focused on these areas. Today it is the norm. This year's listed organisations have gone one step further, ensuring there is a clear alignment between their culture, climate, structure, practices and behaviours. This creates an employee experience where talent can thrive and the organisation can adapt and achieve.'
