We celebrate our successes, learn and grow from our mistakes, and inspire each other to create the grid—and workplace—of the future.

While we are proud of the progress we have made, we recognize there is still work to be done. Looking ahead, we will continue to take action to increase the overall diversity of our workforce, especially within leadership teams and salaried positions. 

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:
