Closing out 2024, we want to kick off the new year with programs to help our team learn and grow! We are enrolling key members of our staff in various courses to increase production efficiencies, improve employee experiences, and overall strengthen the core of our company. With these courses in place, we are excited to begin 2025 with an energized team to better serve our customers. Check out our initiatives below.

Kaizen Training

Our Production Management team is currently enrolled in a training course with the Valley Industrial Association (VIA) to learn the Kaizen Lean Manufacturing technique. This training will help enhance process efficiency, quality, and performance, while reducing waste and optimizing resources.

Partnering with IMEC

In Fall of 2024 LSP partnered with the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC) to refine our hiring processes, job descriptions, and review methods to improve both employee retention and the success of new hires. By aligning these elements with industry best practices, we hope to enhance both our recruitment efforts and the employee experience. This ensures we attract the right talent and set them up for long-term success.

Wiley Leadership Program

We are currently participating in a Leadership Development Program created by the Wiley Institution. The program includes self and employee assessments, which provide valuable insights to enhance leadership traits. This initiative aims to support the ongoing success of our team and their departments, aligning them with a unified vision for departmental growth and achievement.

These are just a few of the many ways we are investing in our team. We look forward to the results these programs will bring in the new year!
