People-First Culture

Fostering an inclusive, people-first culture where the diversity, expertise, and collaboration of our team members drive shared growth and success

As a privately owned company, our people are the heart of S&C and fuel our innovation. Their exceptional talent and dedication drive S&C’s success and create a community where we work together to accelerate both personal development and company growth. We embrace diversity of thought and backgrounds and believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to innovation. Beginning at recruitment and continuing throughout each team member’s career, we strive to create an inclusive culture where team members can bring their authentic selves to work and feel comfortable sharing their unique ideas and perspectives.

At S&C, we recognize that providing regular feedback on performance and development planning is essential. We strive to have leaders who can motivate and inspire our diverse team members. When individuals feel valued, they bring their unique perspectives, ideas, and experiences to the table, leading to innovation, collaboration, and growth. By fostering a culture of respect and a people-focused mentality, we enable our team members to have meaningful careers and make a positive impact on our customers.

Team Member Health and Safety

Respect for People is one of our Values & Guiding Principles and forms the foundation for our companywide safety goal: to be injury free. We consider safety a team sport, and we uphold a culture of shared responsibility through a safety-first mentality. Team members are guided by the principle: “If you see something, say something and, most importantly, DO something.”
