Catalyst Clinical Research Secures a Spot in Inc.'s 2025 Best Workplaces List
Catalyst Clinical Research, a notable contract research organization (CRO), has once again made its mark by being listed in Inc.'s prestigious Best Workplaces for 2025. This recognition highlights companies across America that excel in creating exceptional work environments and fostering a robust company culture. In this year's round-up, Catalyst stands proud among the 514 honorees, marking its third appearance in this annual list.
This accolade emphasizes Catalyst Clinical Research's unwavering commitment to nurturing a culture-centric, people-first workplace. The selection process for this year's honorees was meticulous, involving thousands of submissions and an in-depth employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. The survey assessed a broad range of criteria including management effectiveness, employee benefits, professional development opportunities, and the overall workplace culture. Additionally, company benefits were rigorously audited to generate comprehensive scores and rankings.
Founded in 2013, Catalyst has grown impressively, employing approximately 1,000 clinical research professionals across the United States, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. This year, around 90% of employees contributed to the survey, resulting in a staggering 96% overall engagement score.
Nik Morton, President and CEO of Catalyst Clinical Research, emphasized the company's philosophy: "Our approach is to elevate a strong culture which, in turn, supports our employees. Our values—collaboration, commitment, flexibility, learning, and listening—create a solid foundation throughout the organization, allowing colleagues to deliver for each other and our clients. This recognition demonstrates how culture can drive business success."
Catalyst actively leverages the survey results to refine and enhance programs designed to connect responsively with its workforce. As pointed out by Allison Crumpler, Vice President, People and Culture at Catalyst, "Catalyst offers employees benefits, training, and a workplace culture that is intentionally integrated into every aspect of our clinical solutions and partnerships. Our Core Catalyst Culture keeps employees highly engaged, which has contributed to us receiving this recognition for the third time."
