SEI Named to Philadelphia Inquirer's List of Top Workplaces

OAKS, Pa., March 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SEI (Nasdaq: SEIC) announced today it has been named one of the Top Workplaces by The Philadelphia Inquirer.  The announcement appeared in the newspaper's March 21, 2010 issue and ranks SEI among the top 25 large companies (400 or more employees) selected for the Inquirer's first annual ranking of the top 100 Philadelphia area businesses.  SEI was also honored as the company with the best work-life balance in the Top Workplaces Special Awards section.  

Winning companies were selected solely based on the results of a random employee survey conducted digitally by WorkplaceDynamics L.L.C of Exton, PA.  For SEI to participate, it was necessary that 30 percent of the company's workforce respond to the survey.  Survey questions addressed many different aspects of office culture, including employee confidence with senior management, employee/manager relationship, and satisfaction with work-life balance.  Participating companies were also asked to complete a short questionnaire on business operations, values, policies, and facilities.  In total, 170 companies employing 131,384 people in the Philadelphia area were surveyed.  

"We are honored that our employees have selected SEI as a top workplace," said Alfred P. West Jr., SEI's chairman and chief executive officer.  "It's our employees' attitudes, work ethic, and the experience they deliver to our clients that make others want to engage with us, either as recruits, clients, or partners.  Our employees' positive feedback is a testament to the culture they help build and shape every day."
