Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders

Training & Leadership Development

In addition to our structured programs, CMC provides both online and in-person training options to our employees as well as tuition assistance to support the cost of furthering relevant education for our employees. Our online training provides learning in subjects such as leadership, team building and job-specific safety. In-person courses include Essentials of Selling for new salespeople and the Essentials of Management (EOM) program, which includes three highly interactive workshops where new people managers explore leadership at CMC along with their peers. In 2024, we partnered with LinkedIn Learning to provide resources to support professional development for director and vice president level leaders. CMC recently implemented a new learning management system (LMS) to manage and track employee training hours, with capabilities to automatically provide internal training and renew professional certifications to meet legal requirements.

To help ensure employees are establishing and meeting goals for advancement, CMC provides performance reviews to 100% of eligible team members. Our goal is to develop and promote leaders from within the company. We have a formal succession planning process in the United States in which managers assess their individual team members’ potential and performance, and teams hold calibration sessions that help identify candidates for advancement. Meanwhile, leaders are working on succession plan strategies with an emphasis on developing talent internally for long-term success. In Poland, we have developed a succession program for approximately 50 managerial positions where we have performed assessments, identified successors and created individual progression programs for each position.
