Purpose

Superior Electric Great Lakes Company (“SEGLC”) is a 100% employee-owned company. While companies speak about culture, we live it every day. Culture is the very core of our existence and part of every aspect of our business. SEGLC employees are equal leaders who must be collaborative team builders as owners of our company. Our success is based upon the contribution of each employee-owner. This is a game changer for culture. SEGLC employees work for and are responsible to each other. Because we are in this together, there is no “climbing the corporate ladder” or undermining another employee. We all have a direct impact on and profit from our personal commitment to work and the incredible people who are an extension of our family. There is a place for everyone in a “team-first” belief that is inclusive of and committed to each other. We win by working together as a family, supporting our core values and mission.

Vision

Our vision is to create the most rewarding work environment where employee-owners can thrive, maximize company value, build employee legacy and deliver exceptional service.

Mission

Our mission is to build a company culture that is invested in each other, driven to deliver superior service, and committed to sustainability that fulfills the ESOP promise and creates a legacy for the next generation.

Interesting Facts

We are a 100% ESOP company. All employees are owners and receive annual stock awards. We also match employee 401K contributions $1 up to the first $3200 and then $0.50 for every dollar thereafter with no cap. This starts over every January 1st of each calendar year. At year end, all employees receive a discretionary cash bonus. The CEO and COO personally distribute the bonuses at our Christmas party in the office. It is a huge celebration and kicks off the holidays for our employees. Additional monies in the form of profit sharing are put into employees’ 401K plan accounts. We have paid bonuses and issued profit sharing for the last 23 years. Employees are overwhelmed by our bonus program and the way SEGLC shares the profit.

The Growth Collective Podcast

Mar 27, 2020
The number of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) have expanded since they were established as qualified retirement plans in 1974. ESOPs can benefit both the organization and employees including team members receiving significant retirement benefits at no monetary cost to the employee. Research shows ESOP companies are more productive, faster growing, more profitable and have lower turnover.

My guest for this episode is Jeff Jamerino, President and CEO Superior Electric Great Lakes Company. Jeff led conversion of the organization from a single shareholder to a 100% ESOP which has had a profound impact on the success of the organization and engagement of team members. Listen in as Jeff shares lessons learned in the transition along with insights into building a family-centric culture that drives engagement and retention in a highly competitive industry.
