For the second consecutive year, IQ Solutions has been named a Washington Post Top Workplace (2015).
The Washington Post Top Workplace honor is determined by an independent survey of employee opinions about their organization. The survey is submitted directly to employees by Workplace Dynamics of Exton, PA. “Top Workplaces” is the brainchild of Workplace Dynamics, which believes that “the most successful companies are the ones that employees believe in.”
