How We Live It Out
Scholle IPN is a collaborative and supportive work environment. We value teamwork and give new employees freedom to try things out, ask questions, and get acclimated. New employees often say they feel a lot of support from all parts of our company—from their own departments, to people in other departments, to people working in our facilities or on the manufacturing floor.
One way we nurture this sense of teamwork is through our “Mini Business” program, which is part of how we utilize tools from the LEAN manufacturing program. Employees are put into teams, or “mini businesses” with people from other departments, and part of the process involves training on conflict management, problem solving, and effective communication. Not only do they work together to find a problem’s root cause and solve it, but they learn important people skills such as solving conflict, communicating effectively, how to manage a project, etc.
