At Catalyst Clinical Research, our people are the foundation of our organization and culture.
Team members live out Catalyst’s core values daily to help create a culture that enables us to do our best work.
- Listening: We promote the investment of time to understand the situation and people involved before diving in to solve an issue.
- Flexibility: We celebrate diversity in people, ideas, work styles, and our approaches to challenges for which we create solutions. We thrive in an environment that is innovative, not burdened by excessive layers of decision-making, allowing us to rapidly rise to our employees’ and clients’ needs and new opportunities to prove our dedication.
- Collaboration: We value integrity, transparency, and positive intent. We respect individual talent and contribution while fostering interdependence and a genuine team spirit.
- Commitment: We take time to define success and commit to doing our best to achieve that. We are focused on understanding, defining, and meeting our customers’ goals. We include activities to support, inspire, and care for one another as a key element of our success and we are fully committed to the physical and emotional health of our team and their families.
- Learning: We embrace the infinite game of always growing and improving. We strive to find time and opportunities to learn in every situation.
