What values do you find most important in your workplace? Let us know below using our interactive rating tool

In the workplace, do you value hybrid working? Diversity? A clear career path? Have your say using our slider tools.

OVER THE LAST few years, many workplaces have undergone some significant changes or evolution.

For some jobs, attending in person is no longer a requirement, which changes the workplace dynamic. Other roles still need to be carried out in the workplace due to their hands-on nature.

No matter where you work, you deserve an environment that treats you with respect and values your contribution. You may have different ideas on what values are most important in your workplace, and find yourself prioritising those during past or present job hunts.

We’ve outlined a number of commonly discussed values in the workplace, and using our interactive slider tool, you can rate these values on how important they are to you on a scale of one to ten.

If you’re wondering what it would look like to enjoy a career in an environment that places an emphasis on positive values in the workplace, you can read more below about the range of jobs currently being recruited for at Fáilte Ireland, one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces 2022.
