I apologize for not responding to your feedback sooner. It is much appreciated, and it did come at a time when we were working through one of our busiest stretches in recent memory. However, we worked through those challenges utilizing continuous process improvements and also making significant improvements to our compensation, benefits and work environment for all our employees. This is an ongoing process, but we are pleased to see the positive posts on GlassDoor that reflects current feedback from current employees, too. I appreciate your continued support and contributions here at POLARIS Laboratories. As always, feel free to email or call me anytime with your feedback and ideas. It’s individuals like you who will continue to help our company be successful providing more opportunities for all our employees.

Thank you for recognizing the people who work here and the ideas they bring to the table. Absolutely, they make our company what it is today. Absolutely we should listen to them – and we do. In 2015, this has been one of our commitments to provide more opportunities for our employees to understand our key priorities and make improvements to help achieve them. Over the past year we have made a major cultural change as we have moved to lean manufacturing processes focused on employee engagement. This has resulted in reduced employee turnover, improved efficiency and better service to our customers. While change can be difficult for some, it represents a great improvement for the vast majority of employees. I appreciate your feedback about POLARIS Laboratories, and I welcome the opportunity to show any past, prospective and current employee how our organization is tapping our employees to achieve our goals – and recognize them for doing so.
