Castle Biosciences Honored as an Arizona Top Workplace for the Second Consecutive Year

Castle also earns national recognition through five Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards — Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Compensation & Benefits, Leadership and Purpose & Values

Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, today announced that it has earned a second consecutive Arizona Top Workplace award from AZ Central, the digital home of The Arizona Republic newspaper.

“We are thrilled to have once again been recognized as a Top Workplace in Arizona; this award is especially meaningful as it is based on feedback from our employees and is a testament to our unique workplace culture,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer at Castle Biosciences. “We are truly grateful for our exceptional Castle team members who believe in our vision of keeping people first and show up each day, passionate about improving patient care.”

Top Workplace designations are garnered solely through anonymous employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The confidential survey measures 15 culture drivers that are indicative of successful organizations, such as alignment, execution and connection. Castle’s survey participation rate of 89% and employee engagement score of 81% were both well above the benchmark averages of 59% and 53%, respectively, for other similar healthcare companies participating in the Top Workplaces program.

Earlier this year, Castle also earned five Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards for continued excellence in the following areas of its workplace culture:

• Innovation, for creating a culture where new ideas are encouraged, which helps employees to reach their full potential and benefits performance.
• Work-Life Flexibility, for building a culture that enables employees to meet the demands of their personal lives while maintaining high performance.
• Compensation & Benefits, for providing packages employees believe are fair for the work being done and compared to others in the industry.
• Leadership, for organizational leaders who inspire confidence in employees and the company direction, listening to what matters most to employees and using that insight in decision making.
• Purpose & Values, for successfully communicating the company mission and integrating those aspirations into the culture.
