CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LabCentral today announced a new suite of human resource and people strategy offerings available to resident companies, including employee development opportunities, dedicated office hours, expanded support from LabCentral's People Strategy team, and new community perks, at no additional charge.

"We are always looking for new opportunities to support our resident startups, and adding these resources and programs gives teams access to essential information and experiences that they might not otherwise have access to," said Tera Kull, LabCentral's Senior Director of People Strategy & Communications. "At LabCentral, we believe that people are an organization's most valuable asset and want to share that with resident leaders as they build their company cultures."

As part of the all-inclusive lab experience, LabCentral manages day-to-day lab operations, including permitting, waste removal, procurement, and equipment maintenance and training. With these new resources, resident founders and their teams can access:

• Seminars for building successful organizations. The first offering in the series, Navigating Generational Dynamics, will be held on April 29, 2026, and explores the implications and opportunities of having multiple generations in the workforce. Later sessions will focus on creating culture and emotional intelligence.
• Office hours hosted by LabCentral's People Strategy team to tap into their expertise around core human resource best practices, including overarching strategies, team building, intentionality in establishing culture, management strategies, and other topics.
