LEAD PROGRAMS
We have three in-house leadership programs that emphasize Leadership Excellence Accreditation and Development, or LEAD. Each level of LEAD becomes increasingly more rigorous and selective to provide our emerging leaders, mid-level leaders, and senior officials with the critical tools they need to embody servant leadership and execute strategy throughout the organization. Offering these programs in-house allows us to customize them to the latest leadership research and most urgent business needs, ensuring that you are prepared to empower, develop, and achieve your own career goals alongside the Company’s.
THE HEART & MIND SAFETY PROGRAM
Safety is not just a priority for us; it is who we are. Our Hearts & Minds Safety program is a tag-team effort by our Safety group and our Learning team to provide you with the details of what safety means to us. A two-day learning event at each business unit underscores the weekly safety messages and actions shared by our Safety leaders across the organization. These messages and actions stem from the belief that safety starts with our hearts and our minds and doesn’t stop when we leave for the day. As our hearts and minds go home with us, so too, does a focus on safety.
