Welcome to the Philadelphia Business Journal‘s Best Places to Work 2018.

Each year, the Business Journal teams with Quantum Workplace to find the very best workplaces in our region. How do we come up with our list? The contest is based on employee surveys and contains various levels of safeguards to protect the integrity of the process.

Here’s how Quantum describes the process: While many awards programs remain subjective, ours has been scientific since day one. In fact, we were the first to utilize a full-blown employee engagement survey as the sole scoring mechanism. This is still the case today. Our survey was developed by some of the most brilliant minds in survey research methodology and organizational psychology, and we update it regularly to make sure it stays relevant.

For 2018, we had a record number of applications for Best Places to Work and every company included here had to reach a statistical benchmark to be included. It’s not an easy benchmark to meet.

This year, we’re revealing the Best Places to Work in four installments:

• Extra-large companies (500 or more employees): June 28
• Large companies (100 to 499 employees): June 29
• Medium-sized companies (50-99 employees): July 2
• Small companies (10 to 49 employees): July 3

Special note: In this first reveal, the companies are presented in alphabetical order, not by statistical rank.

The top-ranking Best Places to Work in each category will be revealed at an Aug. 2 event at The Fillmore Philadelphia. Subscribers will have access to that ranking and much more information about our Best Places to Work winners online and in our Aug. 3 weekly edition.

So, stay tuned. There is much more to come.
