The current labor market presents many organizational challenges. In this war for talent, Lincoln Electric System strives to develop strong recruitment and retention strategies, empowering our team members and encouraging their intentional and focused engagement in our mission-driven work.
One of our key recruitment and retention strategies is to support our workforce by providing strong leadership and professional development opportunities that support our leaders as they encounter new challenges in today’s dynamic business landscape.

Author Craig D. Lounsbrough once said, “To realize your potential, you must look beyond the end of yourself, realizing that where you end is most likely where you actually begin.”
In support of these goals, our Human Resources Learning and Development team partnered with SCC in 2022 to create our “Step-Up to Leadership Development” program, which reaches across the organization to nurture the growth of leaders who are well-versed in the culture, values and mission of LES.
This two-year interactive curriculum focuses on many relevant topics, including emotional intelligence, generational differences, effective and productive teams, communication strategies, performance management, critical thinking and change management.
Thanks to our partnership with SCC, Step-Up to Leadership Development allows our team members to become engaged, focused, strategic, skilled and thoughtful leaders who support the culture and values we strive for at LES!
