Our culture
Our path to growth is paved by investing in our people. We continually strive to provide unbeatable opportunities where you can develop and exceed your expectations, while building your career in our challenging yet rewarding environment.
Our CEO/President Steve Hillard often says, “Culture flows from the top.” A strong positive culture is a commitment our senior leaders make top priority. We offer many exciting and challenging careers, and our employees enjoy competitive salaries and comprehensive training and benefits. HL supports professional development and work-life balance, resulting in the retention of highly-skilled employees.
Here at HL, we are continuously improving. A great deal of our improvements come from our employees’ Lean Manufacturing ideas. Lean Manufacturing is where employees suggest ideas each quarter that will improve manufacturing waste within the company. Then at the end of each quarter, a rotating selection committee of employees’ peers chaired by a Lean Champion will select a Gold, Silver and Bronze winner. These winners will then serve on the selection committee for the following quarter. Thus far, there has been 84 winners through Q2 2018.
HL is where relationships are nurtured, where we required the best possible solutions for our valued customers.
work/life balance
In its ongoing efforts to create a great culture and care for its employees, HL has partnered with Marketplace Chaplains.
Through this partnership, HL offers an option to its employees for personalized and proactive care through a dedicated, consistent and reliable chaplain who makes weekly visits to the Company’s facilities and is available 24/7/365. These highly confidential interactions have developed relationships of trust, confidence and support for our employees.
HL’s Marketplace Chaplain strives to become an extension of the caring culture of the Company for its employees and their family members.
Developing our employees
There is a skills gap in the manufacturing industry. HL has taken it upon itself to combat this issue head-on by training our employees from within.
HL has partnered with renowned Tooling-U SME to build an online curriculum for the employees to complete– either on the job or at home. In addition, employees will then apply such knowledge gained through online curriculum to an on-the-job training program.
HL needs to continue its mission to invest in the best people; therefore, it must first invest in its current staff through training and cross-training opportunities.
