Pharmavite Makes Fast Company's Fourth Annual List of the Best Workplaces for Innovators in Consumer Products and Services

The Makers of Nature Made® Vitamins joins Microsoft, T-Mobile, Adobe, PayPal, and other leading companies

WEST HILLS, Calif., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmavite LLC, makers of Nature Made® vitamins and a pioneer in the health and wellness industry, announced today that it has been named a finalist as one of the Best Workplaces for Innovators on Fast Company's fourth annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list, which honors organizations and businesses that demonstrate a steadfast commitment to encouraging innovation at all levels. Pharmavite was named a finalist on the Consumer Products and Services list for its commitment to innovation as a category leader among broadline vitamin, minerals and supplements (VMS) brands, for launching innovative products while leveraging emerging science, and for offering employees career development programs, onboarding experiences, and startup and design events.

"Pharmavite is proud to be recognized as one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators," said Jeff Boutelle, CEO of Pharmavite. "Innovation is one of our biggest drivers of growth and a key component to delivering on our purpose of bringing the gift of health to life. That's why we're committed to fostering a culture where all of our employees – no matter level, role or expertise – feel empowered to innovate."

Pharmavite has many internal initiatives and programs with the goal of empowering its employees to innovate, one of which is its dedicated innovation teams, named inQB8. These teams combine Pharmavite's two primary innovation focus areas, science and consumer insights, to ensure agile thinking and to bring product discovery teams together early in the innovation cycle.

The work of Pharmavite's inQB8 team and its cross-functional partners can also be credited with a launch that helped earn Pharmavite the Best Workplaces for Innovators recognition from Fast Company, which was the launch of new Nature Made Sleep products, that disrupted the Sleep category and drove Nature Made growth against competitors.

Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the 2022 Best Workplaces for Innovators ranks 100 winners from a variety of industries, including computer science, biotech, consumer packaged goods, nonprofit, education, financial services, cybersecurity, engineering, diversity, sustainability, B2B, and consumer products and services. Fast Company editors and Accenture researchers worked together to score nearly 1,500 applications, and a panel of eight eminent judges reviewed and endorsed the top 100 companies. The 2022 awards feature workplaces from around the world.

"This year's list of the Best Workplaces for Innovators recognizes organizations that have demonstrated a deep commitment to cultivating creativity across the board," says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. "In the face of powerful headwinds, these leaders and teams continue to spur innovation."
