RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After receiving nine individual Great Place to Work® awards in 2013, Quintiles has again been recognized as one of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces by Great Place to Work®, ranking 18th on the 2013 list.
This ranking is the world’s largest annual study of workplace excellence and identifies the top-25 best multinationals in terms of workplace culture. Quintiles has been named to the Best Multinational Workplace list in each of the ranking’s three years of existence.
Qualifying companies must have been selected for at least five national Great Place to Work lists, have at least 5,000 employees worldwide and count at least 40 percent of their global workforce outside of the company’s home country.

Creating and maintaining a positive working environment which the best and brightest seek out is a key component of Quintiles’ success.”
