Peter Barron Stark Companies honors Retrophin for its continued commitment to workplace and cultural excellence
SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retrophin, Inc. (NASDAQ:RTRX) today announced that it has been awarded the Peter Barron Stark Companies (PBS) Award for Workplace Excellence, which recognizes top-tier organizations committed to a culture of workplace excellence based upon employee feedback from the PBS Employee Opinion Survey. Retrophin’s survey results exceeded PBS’ “Best of the Best Benchmark,” which represents the top 25 percent of companies participating in the survey nationwide.
“We place the highest value on our team members’ input and we are thankful for their continuous efforts to help make Retrophin an employer of choice,” said Stephen Aselage, chief executive officer of Retrophin. “Engaged employees who are passionate about their work and dedicated to helping patients are vital to ultimately reaching our vision of being a leader within the rare disease community.”
PBS collects survey data from more than 300 companies and 100,000 employee opinions nationwide on topics such as work environment, clarity of purpose and goals, communication, commitment to quality, motivation, training and compensation. Only five to eight companies receive the Award for Workplace Excellence each year. Winners are often companies that value employee engagement when recruiting and attracting high-quality employees who are interested in maintaining workplace excellence.
