All In. As a Team. For a Purpose. Solving Problems.
At Greenphire, we have an inherently giving culture, finding purpose both in our industry and community.
When our Culture and Engagement Team recently set out to recognize World Food Day, they challenged employees to donate to local families in need for the Thanksgiving holiday. Employees took their mission seriously, and successfully rallied to donate more than 2,100 food items to Philadelphia-area charities.
37 million people struggle with hunger in the United States.
Celebrating together
The Greenphire Thanksgiving Pheast is perfectly representative of our company culture. While it’s grown from a few people gathered around one table many years ago, this year’s event brought together close to 200 employees, sharing a special meal together, talking traditions and reflecting on the tremendous year 2019 has been for our team.
We provide the turkeys (and a few of us are able to carve them) and employees bring everything else. It’s a huge potluck dinner that is essentially “crowdsourced” (to borrow a term from the tech industry) and hosted in a pop-up environment. The food is both traditional and non-traditional Thanksgiving fare, incorporating employees’ family multicultural and cross-generation recipes.

The whole event is the ultimate expression of Greenphire’s “As a Team” employee value, celebrating the unique culture that we’ve created. We accomplish a lot together, we have fun together, and make a difference. The solutions at Greenphire are meaningful; we are responsible for helping to remove the financial and logistical barriers from clinical research, helping to enable patients to get the treatments they need.
I’m personally thankful for the opportunity to spend my time working on a worthy cause and sharing that with journey with our clients and colleagues.
