DKIT Sport recognised as the 11th Best Large Workplace™ in Ireland 2023

DKIT Sport is delighted to announce that they have been officially recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland™ in 2023. DKIT Sport was recognised at the annual Great Place to Work Awards on Wednesday 22nd February 2023. The awards are based on anonymous feedback from employees about the workplace experience.  This is the company’s 5th year to be ranked in the Top 30 as a top Irish workplace and the highest ranking achieved to date, finishing in 11th place.

The announcement that DKIT Sport is amongst the 11 Best Large Workplaces in Ireland following their official certification as a Great Place to Work 2022-23 really is a huge achievement for the organisation and demonstrates in the strongest possible way that their staff endorse and support the company’s culture, values and mission.

Founder and Executive Chairman of the Group Gar Holohan said, “You cannot have engaged and loyal customers if you don’t have engaged and passionate staff. We are on a mission to increase community-wide participation in sport, fitness and exercise activities in Ireland and to help people live healthier and happier lives. And we are very fortunate to have attracted a team of people who are passionate ambassadors for this mission. That is why we put a huge amount of our resources into focusing on our values and purpose”.

On congratulating all of Ireland’s Best Workplaces 2023, Cathal Divilly, CEO of Great Place to Work® Ireland said “Ireland’s Best Workplaces should be very proud of their achievement and have shown once again that working on the basics and committing to improving company culture and employee feedback can and will bring success. They have adapted and overcome numerous hurdles over the past few years and continue to show that they are putting their company culture and employees at the forefront of their organisation’s priorities.”
