The process of recruiting new employees over the last few years has changed dramatically. With the onset of the pandemic, the priorities of prospective job candidates have evolved as people started putting more of a focus on work-life balance, their overall well-being and mental health. The hybrid/remote style of work gained a lot of popularity, but as the country has moved out of the pandemic things have somewhat returned to how things were. One thing that has not changed is how employers attract top talent and retain employees once they are hired.

Taurine is garnishing much attention in the news lately due to a recent study published in Science Magazine (Singh, 2023) touting its biological importance in anti-aging.

While Vitaquest is an industry leader in workplace safety, we strive for continual improvement when it comes to the safety of staff, customers and everyone who visits any of our facilities. Dan Franzen, Senior Manager of Environmental Health & Safety, and Security Manager, Dan Gorman, recently worked together to take a step in upgrading building security by acquiring a new Safety & Security vehicle.

Here at Vitaquest, we are working harder than ever to fortify and improve our already-robust manufacturing operation by seeking out new equipment that will set us up for success as we move through 2023 and beyond. Our capsule polishing machines, purchased in early 2023, have already become a pivotal part of our capsule manufacturing process. And now our new roll compactor has joined our vast inventory of innovative and state-of-the-art equipment, adding ease and efficiency to our powder manufacturing and tablet compression processes.

At Vitaquest, we believe we have an obligation to create a better future for the people and the communities with which we interact, and an important aspect of that is our commitment to environmental sustainability.
