WILMINGTON, Del., July 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WSFS Financial
Corporation (Nasdaq:WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, today
announced that it has been presented the annual Gallup Great Workplace
Excellence in Leadership Award. Based on the most rigorous workplace
research conducted, the Great Workplace Award honors organizations
whose associate engagement results demonstrate they have the most
productive and engaged workforces in the world. WSFS was formally
presented the award during the 2012 Gallup Summit in Omaha, Nebraska.

"As a service organization and one where 'We Stand For Service(R)', our
success is driven by Associate engagement at every level," said Mark A.
Turner, President and CEO of WSFS Bank. "Each Associate, from the
support areas to the front lines, contributes directly to the growth of
our organization by fully embracing and living our core values of
integrity, service, transparency and desire to improve."

The Gallup Great Workplace Excellence in Leadership Award recognizes
companies with 500 to 1,000 associates, whose distinguished leader or
leaders have driven superior engagement performance. In qualifying for
the recognition, during the most recent Gallup Q12 survey that
Associates take annually to measure engagement levels, WSFS achieved a
97% response rate and a 4.34 grand mean in at least half the company's
workgroups, well above the minimum thresholds of 80% and 4.15,
respectively. Gallup also gave consideration to WSFS' talent
development programs and best practices, which have also contributed to
WSFS Bank's accomplishments in its Associate engagement and Customer
advocacy journey.
