PEOPLE-FIRST CULTURE
At S&C, we foster a workplace where team members build meaningful careers, grow their skills, and make an impact transforming the grid. Through intentional hiring, competitive benefits, and a culture grounded in respect, we create opportunities for our team members to reach their highest potential. PEOPLE-FIRST CULTURE
Talent Attraction and Retention Our commitment to providing long, purpose-driven careers is evident in our average team member tenure – 8 years in the U.S. and 8.2 years globally. These are approximately double the average tenure for U.S. and global employees in the private sector. 1 S&C’s Quarter Century Club (QCC) celebrates team members who achieve 25 years of service. In 2025, 57 team members across the globe were inducted into the QCC, joining 358 active members and 151 retired members globally. RECRUITING AND RETAINING TOP TALENT As an employer of choice, we focus on strategies that attract and retain talent. Our approach includes strategic workforce planning, nontraditional talent pipelines, proactive campus and grassroots recruitment, and robust hiring, promotion, and retention practices. Strong relationships with local and national partners – including Women in Manufacturing, National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, and SkillBridge, a military service member job placement program – are essential to this effort and play a critical role in bringing talent to S&C.
2025 RECRUITMENT HIGHLIGHTS • Participated in 86 community hiring events • Attended 55 career-focused outreach events at local schools and colleges • Onboarded 17 new hires from community partnerships and outreach activities • Welcomed 91 interns, co-ops, and summer students, with nine becoming full-time team members
Team Member Engagement and Long-Term Career Development At S&C, we empower every team member to reach their full potential through career growth opportunities, talent development programs, educational support, and a comprehensive performance management process. LEVERAGING TEAM MEMBER FEEDBACK Our culture of continuous improvement is grounded in team member feedback. Our annual engagement survey, administered by a trusted third-party provider, ensures anonymity and encourages candid input that helps us strengthen the team member experience.
