Equity
S&C’s team members are the key to our success, and we believe career advancement and professional growth opportunities are one of the best methods for advancing equity. With that in mind, S&C operates the following development and leadership training programs:
Work Elements
This skills-based, on-the-job training program promotes upward career mobility for production team members while striving to ensure competitive wages. The Work Elements program reinforces our culture of performance and versatility and builds skill flexibility and knowledge.
Hand Raise Application
This online platform enables production team members to “raise their hand” for additional development and growth opportunities. When paired with our Work Elements program, the Hand Raise application is a tool for team members to accelerate their career growth.
Development Planning
Development plans encourage conversations between team members and leaders to identify career goals and skill-building opportunities and then create action plans to address those objectives.
Leadership Experience
This three-phase program (Launch, Elevate, Accelerate) supports team members throughout their leadership journey, helping leaders understand their strengths and leadership styles through ongoing coaching and support.
Operational Excellence in Leadership
Rolled out in 2021, this program allows production floor leaders to develop skills through on-the-job coaching in problem-solving and operational improvements.
Inclusion
Taking care of team members, in alignment with S&C’s core values and guiding principles of “Respect for People,” involves making sure all voices are heard and valued, no matter their racial or ethnic background, gender identity, or other diverse status. To foster this culture, S&C has several affinity groups centered around diversity and inclusion:
Equal Opportunity and Respect in the Workplace
S&C supports diversity and equal opportunity in employment. All employment decisions are based on job-related criteria such as skill, ability, and experience.
S&C team members are expected to treat others professionally and with respect. They are also expected to maintain a working environment free from the damaging effects of harassment and discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or marital status.
