September Update

New Employee Orientation Video

If you have been through Organization Orientation in the past number of years, you may recall a video of Ted and Ray talking through all of the companies and giving their insight into the organization. This video is a classic and something that will be kept for it’s historical value, however, things change with time and we wanted to have that orientation video represent where we are today. Over the past year, the Training & Development team at LSI has been working on updating the New Employee Orientation video and as of June 2021 this video has replaced the previous version. While this is great information for new hires to know, we thought all employees would enjoy checking out the new video as well. The new video has gone in a slightly different direction and is centered around values, Strengths and Servant Leadership, and a bit of company history.  Enjoy!

Scholarships

Congratulations to Cora Honken, Dylan Larson and Hannah Vanderpol who were the recipients of the Life-Science Innovations scholarships for 2021! Each year Life-Science Innovations sponsors scholarships at Ridgewater College in Willmar for three students who are employees or dependents of employees within our family of companies.  The recipients are selected by Ridgewater College Foundation.
