Philadelphia Business Journal has named CFS Clinical, a specialty provider focused on the business and financial management activities for clinical trials, one of its Best Places to Work in the Philadelphia region for the second year in a row. The award recognizes the company’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of benefits, working conditions and company culture.

CFS Clinical was chosen based on the strength of its benefits and programs, as evaluated by its employees.

“We entered the award program because we believe our culture is unique and it’s clear our employees recognize that,” said Kelly Morello, vice president, human resources and administration, CFS Clinical. “We offer benefits like dry cleaning service and on-site oil changes to support work/life balance, recognition programs that reward both individual and team performance and innovative programs and events like our employee appreciation week. We are very proud of our employees, and we’re proud to be a winner of this award.”

Philadelphia Business Journal’s research partner, Quantum Workplace, tabulated the results of thousands of online surveys completed by employees to establish the ranking. Common themes among top companies focused on work-life balance, respect and caring for employees, recognition of accomplishments, feeling empowered, good teamwork and commitment to community.
