FDA regulatory consultancy firm, Registrar Corp, received a 5 out of 5 stars rating as a desired workplace. Registrar Corp was the only firm in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia to receive a perfect score. The company was founded in 2003 to assist businesses comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) regulations. Since opening its headquarters in Hampton, Registrar Corp has expanded to nineteen international offices and has assisted more than 30,000 companies across 160 countries. Employees include former U.S. FDA officials, scientists, and industry experts. The company currently employs 75 people in its Hampton office.

“Empowering employees to make decisions and be responsible for their projects, in consultation with their colleagues, has worked in our favor over the years,” says company Vice President, David Lennarz. “Even though employees multi-task through large volumes of work and critical deadlines, management strives to maintain a low-stress workplace. The rewards of hard work are happy clients and, in turn, happy clients motivate our employees.” This environment apparently contributes to Registrar Corp’s high employee retention rate. David Lennarz believes that retaining experienced people is one of Registrar Corp’s keys to success. “We are in a niche market so we cannot hire people off the street with the exact experience we need. Registrar Corp, therefore, invests in our employees with the understanding that they may not significantly contribute for months or even years. For this reason, it is in our benefit to hire people who want to learn and then retain them for as long as possible.”
