Bio-Rad Team in Shanghai Completes “Corporate Challenge”
December 18, 2024
Bio-Rad's Life Science R&D team in Shanghai, China recently participated in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, a run to bring corporate teams together around teamwork and fundraising. In total, 10 employees completed the 3.5-mile run!
Liz Zhang, HR generalist for Bio-Rad, says the event provides a much-needed break from the day-to-day demands of developing new products for the life science market. “We believe working as a team reduces stress and increases job satisfaction,” she says. “We also value social responsibility and giving back to the community, as dedicating time to help others also fosters engagement amongst our team.”
In addition to running the corporate challenge for the last two years, the Life Science R&D team of roughly 50 Bio-Rad employees also has a badminton club and an annual ping-pong tournament. Liz says events like this help build camaraderie and trust throughout the team, which leads to better work outcomes.
“In our R&D site, we see that people are more likely to take calculated risks that lead to innovation if there’s support from the team behind them,” Liz says. “We hope that there'll be more participants next year,” she says. “The event is held worldwide in 16 locations, including areas that has Bio-Rad offices like San Francisco and Singapore.
“We look forward to seeing more Bio-Radians celebrating teamwork next year!”
