Working at Impax
Our Mission
Impax Laboratories, Inc. is a leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of prescription pharmaceutical products using our formulation expertise and unique drug delivery technologies. We will focus on those opportunities that increase shareholder value and provide long-term profitable growth.
We can best accomplish this mission by helping our employees grow and succeed in ways that help our company grow and succeed and by adhering to the cultural values that have helped make the company the success it is today.
Our Culture
At Impax we are focused on continuing our history as a successful and profitable company, on meeting the challenge of an ever-changing healthcare environment, and on ensuring a productive and enjoyable place to work. This takes an ongoing commitment to certain key values that Impax holds as critical to maintaining our culture and to the small-company spirit that has been part of Impax’s success.
Our Values
Act with Integrity
What we do every day ultimately affects the lives of patients who use our products. It is very important that we approach our work with the utmost integrity and that we “say what we mean” and “mean what we say” when communicating with each other. As employees of this company, we are each responsible to be honest with each other and act with integrity within the context of our jobs. This includes reporting “bad news” to our supervisors as soon as it occurs, so we can develop remedies before problems become unmanageable.
Innovate
An innovative and entrepreneurial culture is important to maintaining a competitive edge. Impax is and always will be a technology-oriented company that relies on the scientific innovation of our research and development staff, but innovation does not apply only to scientists. A very crucial element in building on our success is the creativity and creative contribution of each and every one of our employees.Sometimes it means we must analyze situations and recommend “best solutions” even when we don’t have complete information. In addition, as an emerging company in the pharmaceutical world, we can ensure our ability to compete with much larger companies by finding ways to be more efficient and resourceful in our jobs and by supporting each other. New possibilities for continuous improvement and creative solutions to challenges are critical to our future success.
Collaborate
A spirit of teamwork will allow Impax to retain a fast and nimble “small” company culture with which to compete against larger, more structured companies. When we encourage and learn from each other, and treat each other with dignity and respect, we share greater success than if we all worked strictly as individuals.
Be Accountable
Each of us is individually accountable to each other and to our own work and behaviors in achieving our daily results. We are also accountable to ensuring that there are no compromises in either the safety of our workplace or the quality of everything we do.
Pursue Results
Impax is a results-driven company, where timing and quality are critical to success. We focus on our business objectives, and how each of us contributes to their achievement through our daily work.
At Impax, it is not just WHAT we accomplish that is important to our success, but also HOW we accomplish it. These qualities together define the behaviors required of each employee.
