Blue Sky Leaders

Our greatest advantage as a company is the diversity of our people, their unique ideas, cultures, experiences and the positive energy they contribute. With more than 136,000 employees around the world, speaking dozens of languages, reflecting hundreds of skill levels, and working vastly different jobs from business to business, one employee development program does not work for everyone.

We believe all employees should leave work with more knowledge than they had when they arrived that day, and we are committed to providing them with on-the-job learning opportunities that will give them the tools they need to grow and develop.

Employees are equally responsible for their growth. An employee who shows initiative, creativity, problem-solving skills, and a good work ethic will have daily opportunities to learn new skills.

Learning takes place through countless daily activities. Personal interaction with team members, management, customers and vendors develops interpersonal and verbal skills. Implementation of new technology and advanced manufacturing processes exposes employees to ever changing and innovative job assignments. Through sharing of best practices, employees develop presentation skills and learn the value of collaboration.

A work environment that encourages two-way communication and active participation builds employees' critical thinking, interpersonal, and technical skills. They are also encouraged to act and grow as leaders in the community, where they have additional opportunities to develop new skills through volunteerism while also supporting community needs at the same time.
