OriGene at a Glance: OriGene’s greatest asset is our People! We know and understand that employees are the force that pushes our company forward. You might be wondering, then, how is it that our employees know they are valued? We start by respecting a work-life balance. Our leaders are aware and considerate that our employees perform at their best when energized. It is this respect for individuals’ time that has contributed significantly to the happiness and innovative spirit of our employees. Every year, we host different events that allow our staff to unwind and get to know their colleagues rather than sitting behind a desk all the time. We do this because we want our company culture to be one of solid teamwork and tolerance for the diverse group that we have here at OriGene. In addition to this, our employees also receive abundant access to learning, development, and mentorship throughout their time and are recognized through annual merit increases and bonuses. Moving towards the future, OriGene has made many significant advancements in maintaining a green workspace. Because labs use four times the energy of a typical office environment, we made many changes to reduce our impact on the environment and ensure the longevity of our home. We hope that future individuals joining our team are not simply able to find a rewarding career but a positive experience to last them a lifetime.
