NFI Named a Winner of Philly.com’s Delaware Valley 2016 Top Workplaces Award
CHERRY HILL, N.J. (PRWEB) March 21, 2016 -- Leading supply chain solutions provider, NFI, has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by Philly.com, ranking 20th in the Large Companies category.
Offering an integrated suite of supply chain services, NFI employs more than 8,000 individuals across its 200+ North American locations. Its services include dedicated transportation, distribution, brokerage, transportation management, intermodal, global logistics, and real estate. Headquartered in Cherry Hill, N.J., NFI employs more than 650 individuals in the Delaware Valley.
“It is an honor for NFI and its employees to receive this recognition,” says Sidney Brown, CEO of NFI. “It is our people that make NFI a top workplace and they are the reason why we continue to grow and be successful. As a privately-held organization, I take pride in the family atmosphere that we have at NFI. It plays a significant role in NFI’s culture and moving us forward.”
The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured including Alignment, Execution, and Connection.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Providing supply chain solutions to industries such as food, beverage, retail, consumer product goods, and apparel, NFI is constantly adding to its team. Available positions include CDL-A drivers, warehousing associates, and roles across functions like operations, IT, and sales.
