DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2017--
Alkermes
plc (NASDAQ: ALKS) today announced that it was named one of The
Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work. The Top Places to Work
recognition applauds the most admired workplaces in the state based on
anonymous employee feedback collected through a survey. The survey
measures employee opinions about their company’s direction, execution,
connection, management, work, pay and benefits, and engagement.
“It is an honor to be recognized by The Boston Globe as one of the Top
Places to Work in Massachusetts. At Alkermes, our culture embodies
collaboration, respect for all, and an unwavering commitment to and
passion for our work,” said Madeline Coffin, Senior Vice President of
Human Resources at Alkermes. “We invest in sustaining our culture,
developing our employees, and building on our total rewards program to
attract the best possible people. We are proud of our growth and
performance as a company, but even more proud of the people at the
company who support the development and delivery of new medicines to
help address some of the most urgent public health and mental illness
challenges today.”
The rankings in the Top Places to Work are based on confidential
survey information collected by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics),
an independent company specializing in employee engagement and
retention, from nearly 75,060 individuals at 334 organizations in
Massachusetts. More than 500 Alkermes employees participated in the
survey. The employers were placed into one of four groups based on
number of employees: small, with 50 to 99; medium, with 100 to 249;
large, with 250 to 999; and largest, with 1,000 or more. Alkermes was
