Earlier this year, we unveiled our corporate mission, vision, and core values that are baked into everything we do at SESCO Cement. As we seek to be a reliable and responsible cement supplier in the communities where we operate, we are taking active steps to invest in the capabilities of our people.

As part of our monthly schedule of articles unpacking the S-E-S-C-O vision for 2023, we will unpack our employee development programs and other initiatives that are part of our employee core values:

• Safety.
• Employees.
• Sustainability.
• Customers.
• Optimization.

Our attention is squarely focused on building a healthy culture that enables our employees to thrive in their roles. We provide targeted training to support professional growth and seek opportunities to build up each person.

We believe it is important to help our employees advance in skills that not only help them at SESCO but help them grow in their day-to-day lives. We want employees to feel like they have room to grow and develop their skills.

Professional Development

Our professional development programs include the following:

• Training courses
• Monthly employee events
• Live and web-based training courses on soft skills, such as effective communication

One specific training course we offer is a Six Sigma/LEAN program that helps employees identify and mitigate waste in the supply chain/value stream. We also offer Level UP! Training to support leadership and development.

Personal Development

It’s rare to find a company that has created the culture we have created, which includes the following personal initiatives to help each employee feel valued and appreciated:

• Open door policy
• Monthly employee events
• Yearly team-building events
• Employee birthday celebrations
• Events that foster community bonds between co-workers and employee
• Taco trucks and shaved ice trucks
• Other employee appreciation events

Investing in our employees will help our company grow and best serve our valued customers. By creating bonds between our employees and our company, we make them feel understood and appreciated. Empowered employees then provide exceptional service to customers.

We truly believe that employees are our number one asset, which is why we have developed numerous professional and personal programs to pour into them on a daily basis. Developing our people, in turn, will help our company continue to grow for decades to come.

Because we are growing, we are actively seeking professionals to join our team. Working with SESCO is a rewarding experience that comes with professional growth opportunities to support you on your career path.

• We offer great benefits such as health, vision, life, and dental.
• We offer a matching 401(k) plan.
• We offer a referral bonus for any employee hired through a referral.
• We offer an inviting community, commissions, bonuses, and other incentives.

Investing in our people is a critical aspect of how we do business at SESCO Cement. It’s why we strive to ensure that each team member feels a sense of ownership in the company and is equipped with the tools to excel through training and employee development programs.

For our customers, we believe you will walk away from every interaction with our team with a sense of appreciation for the hard-working men and women in our company. We take great pride in our team’s capabilities and look forward to serving your cement needs.
