Ternary Recognized as One of Philadelphia's Best Places to Work

Philadelphia, PA, September 15, 2005 -- Philadelphia Business Journal has named Ternary Software one of its Best Places to Work in the Philadelphia region. The award recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive environment and company culture.

Ternary was highlighted for its innovative business practices. These practices include pioneering work with Sociocracy, a corporate governance system that places social responsibilities alongside investor responsibilities and gives everyone in the company a guaranteed voice. Additionally, Ternary boasts an open salary structure that gives everyone access to the salary system and how salaries are determined. Furthermore, to overcome the limitations of traditional hiring approaches, Ternary has crafted a unique hiring process that includes free-form essay questions, phone interviews, and an extensive and highly original in-person interview.

The awards program was launched in June by the Philadelphia Business Journal. The 2005 program was sponsored by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, Grant Thornton, Littler Mendelson and SB 1 Federal Credit Union.

The Philadelphia Business Journal's research partner, Quantum Market Research tabulated the results of thousands of online surveys completed by employees to establish the rank order. Common themes among top companies focused on work-life balance; respect and caring for employees; feeling empowered; good teamwork and commitment to community.
