Midlands firm ORS cements 'best workplace' status with award wins
ORS, Ireland's leading multidisciplinary building consultancy, recently took home the 'Best Company to Work For' award at the prestigious Irish Building and Design Awards.
In addition, the Mullingar-based firm has been recognised by 'Great Place to Work' for the sixth consecutive year as one of Ireland's Best Workplaces.
ORS received special recognition for its best-in-class cultural development team, which was awarded the 'Great Place to Work' team award.
The company said its cultural development team, initiated in 2015, was "integral to ensuring employees live by the ORS values and mission" in order to create a supportive workplace for its people.
ORS said its progressive, award-winning hybrid remote working model was built on trust, empowering team members with the autonomy to choose their place of work.
On a day-to-day basis, employees can either use their home office as a base, or any of the company's eight offices nationwide.
This approach has enabled ORS to attract and retain exceptional talent from all corners of the country, with over 50% of employees working remotely within the Midlands.
The firm has expanded significantly in recent years and, through organic growth and acquisition, it plans to recruit for more than 150 new positions nationwide over the next three years.
Commenting on the awards, John Brennan, Managing Director of ORS, said, "As a company that places people at the forefront of everything we do, we are thrilled with our recent award wins, which demonstrate the remarkable success of several of our internal committees, whose efforts over the years have been focused on ensuring that every individual's experience within ORS is both professionally and personally fulfilling.
"We firmly believe that our success in attracting and retaining exceptional talent lies in our commitment to hybrid working, granting employees the autonomy they deserve, and offering flexible work options.
"Our team is in control of their workday, and the benefits to them and our business have been substantial" he said.
