The 2021 we recognized two outstanding employers::

S&C Electric

Headquartered in Chicago for more than 110 years, S&C Electric is Chicago’s second-largest manufacturer and employs more than 3,500 team members at its U.S. facilities in Chicago; Phoenix; West Palm Beach, Florida; Rockville, Maryland; Dallas; and Franklin, Wisconsin.

S&C Electric comprises a variety of roles, from manufacturing to engineering, and the average team member tenure is 11 years -three times the national average. Focused on the continued safety and wellbeing of team members, S&C Electric introduced several initiatives last year, including a remote work program that provides greater flexibility, and an onsite COVID-19 vaccine program for team members.  So, it is not surprising to learn that S&C Electric has been recognized as a top employer in the United States for the second year in a row by Top Workplaces USA. The 2022 Top Workplaces USA list recognizes companies nationwide that engage, motivate, and reward their team members.

In the nomination submitted by Danielle Woods, MSN, RN, COHN-S, CM, she reports that S&C Electric supports certification by paying for her costs to take an exam review course, exam costs and annual renewal/recert costs.  After she passed the exam, an email congratulating her was sent by senior leadership and a party was given by her manager.  In addition to credentialing support, she was given tuition reimbursement to complete a MSN degree.  Danielle states “I have never worked for a company that values career advancement as much as S&C Electric does.  They are supportive and foster an environment of growth.”

Congratulations S&C Electric and thank you for your support of OHNs!

I hope you are not over-working and you are taking time for yourself and your wellbeing as this can be stressful.”  From the VP of Clinical Affairs, “Thank you for your heroic efforts on behalf of employees.”
