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

comes directly from our 27,000-plus employees around the world. Creating
and maintaining a positive working environment which the best and
brightest seek out is a key component of Quintiles’ success.”
