8yWhile it is true we do not have a big HR Department, this is to maintain a lean organization and use our resources wisely—specifically investing in high-end analytical equipment. However, the HR manager can be reached anytime either in person, or by email and cell phone when not at the office, and is able to act upon any concerns immediately.
No company decision is based on favoritism: career advances, pay raises, bonuses, and gifts are strictly based on individual performance on the job.
The company offers vacation time and holidays, the same as any other company in the industry. Sick leave and overtime are provided as per current labor laws and all is stated in the employee handbook that is readily available to employees.
It is inaccurate to say that the project managers are inexperienced, the six project managers have an average employment time of nearly 9 years.
The company has on open door policy, which is explained to all new employees when hired and also during the ethics training sessions. This means employees can come to upper management with any complains or issues without any fear of reprisals or negative actions; confidentiality is always assured. In the same vein, inappropriate behaviors are not tolerated, especially when they compromise analytical data.
The company invests heavily in analytical equipment, having only state-of-the-art instrumentation which is constantly being updated. Over the last three fiscal years, the investments in instrumentation were approximately half a million dollars per year and will continue as new instrumentation with more capabilities come to the market.
Most associates enjoyed employment at Weck Labs and no decision is based on favoritism, just on performance at the job.
