NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Medidata MDSO, the leading global provider of cloud-based solutions for clinical research in life sciences, today announced that it has been named one of the 2015 Best Companies to Work for in New York State by the New York State Society for Human Resource Management (NYS-SHRM). An award in the “large employers” category will be presented to Medidata during a ceremony for the winning organizations at the Albany Marriott on Tuesday, April 21, 2015.

“We're honored to be recognized for investing in our greatest asset: our people,” said Tarek Sherif, Medidata's chairman and chief executive officer. “As New York City's largest home-grown technology company, Medidata is proud to be an integral part of the state's vibrant, diverse and growing tech and life sciences communities. The unrivaled access to talent and resources here has been a key part of Medidata's success over the years, and we're committed to making working in New York a rich and fulfilling experience for our employees—now and in the future.”

Created in 2007, the Best Companies to Work for in New York State awards are part of a distinctive program designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in New York whose practices benefit the state's businesses, economy and workforce. The annual awards are a partnership of NYS-SHRM, the Business Council of New York, Best Companies Group and Journal Multimedia Corporation.

A total of 65 companies with operations in the state topped this year's list and were divided into two categories based on size: 31 small/medium employers (15 to 249 US employees) and 34 large employers (more than 250 US employees). To be eligible for participation, organizations had to meet specific registration requirements and partake in a two-part employee engagement and satisfaction survey, which determined company strengths in areas such as leadership and planning, role satisfaction and work environment.

“We have extraordinary talent at Medidata, which is why we're committed to supporting our people and fostering their creativity with the best professional development opportunities, collaborative environments and resources,” said Eileen Schloss, Medidata's executive vice president of human resources. “It's because of our employees' innovative ideas and tremendous efforts that we're tackling real-world problems and making a real difference for our customers and the patients they serve worldwide.”
