FRIENDSWOOD, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, has been named a Houston Chronicle Top Workplace for the second year in a row. More than 70,000 employees from 4,966 companies in the Houston metro area participated in the nomination process, but only 200 companies were named as 2022 Top Workplaces, including Castle.

“One of Castle’s foundational guideposts includes attracting and cultivating exceptional employees, and we believe that our incredibly talented team is what gives us our competitive edge,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer of Castle Biosciences. “We are thrilled to once again have been named a Top Workplace in Houston and believe this award reflects our strong culture, people-first mindset and importantly, our dynamic and committed employees who are helping us meaningfully impact patient care.”

The Top Workplaces program starts with capturing employee feedback on what matters most about a company’s culture through an anonymous survey. The survey measures fifteen drivers of company culture that are critical to an organization’s success, as well as other insights related to a company’s leadership and employee engagement.
