TEC Labs, Makers of Staphaseptic and Tecnu, Ranks #1 Worldwide in Annual "Best Places to Work" Survey

Pharmaceutical manufacturer Tec Labs has been ranked first overall by The Scientist magazine as the top company to work for in their international survey for 2008.

Albany, OR (PRWEB) June 3, 2008 –- Pharmaceutical manufacturer Tec Labs (www.teclabsinc.com) has been ranked first overall by The Scientist magazine as the top company to work for in their international survey for 2008. Pushing Tec Labs (www.teclabsinc.com) to the top spot were the company’s life-affirming Oregon location, a truly family-friendly work environment, a state of the art lab and open communication channels, according to feedback from the magazine.

"It's vital that we take care of the horses first," said Steve Smith, ceo and president of Tec Labs. "I've always believed that and it's a core element of our culture. That's why it means so much to have a magazine as prestigious as The Scientist recognize us for being a great place to work."

Earlier this year, the company was also named one of the 15 Fittest Companies in America by Men’s Fitness magazine. Tec Labs celebrates its workforce with a monthly company picnic in which the tab for the catered meal is picked up, any monthly bonuses earned are handed out, and employees spend an hour complimenting each other for a kind gesture or a job well done. The adjacent jogging trail and complementary fitness center are also benefits of working at the company.

About the Survey

The Scientist asked industry-based readers in the Life Sciences field to assess their experiences and work environments against 45 criteria. The Life Sciences are generally recognized as the sciences that have to do with "organisms" like plants, animals and humans. The magazine used an in-depth web based survey and conducted follow-up phone interviews. The survey covered companies from 21 countries, including the U.S, Canada and Western Europe. The results appear in the June 2008 issue.
