Over the last three decades, S.C. Swiderski (SCS) has been known for providing quality housing solutions. The privately-owned company, founded on principles of a close-knit, family-oriented culture, has thrived by cultivating an environment where every employee feels valued and connected. As the company has grown, it remains committed to preserving and maintaining this positive company culture.
The Importance of Positive Company Culture
At the heart of SCS’s achievements lies a steadfast dedication to nurturing a constructive company culture. Since the company’s founding, the core operations have been built on a culture characterized by trust, collaboration, and community. As the company continues to grow, it is crucial to prioritize the preservation and enrichment of this culture.
A positive company culture goes beyond being a good place to work; it is about fostering a sense of purpose and shared values among all employees. It is about making every team, and every team member feel a part of something bigger: Promoting a unified mission that drives the company's vision forward.
Creating Awareness and Setting Expectations
As SCS grows, so too does its need for clear, purposeful communication and awareness of the company's culture and expectations. It is essential all employees, regardless of their role or tenure, understand and embrace the company's mission, vision, and values. This requires ongoing efforts to engage everyone within the organization.
Frequent internal communications are important to help reinforce the company's culture, ensuring that everyone is aligned and understands the expectations. Doing this enables SCS to maintain a coordinated and motivated staff, ready to meet the challenges of an ever-changing housing industry and deliver the SCS Difference.
Mission, Vision, and Values: A Unified Approach
SCS recently revised its mission, vision, and values to emphasize the significance of unity. These updates reflect a more comprehensive and inclusive strategy, encompassing all areas of the company. The goal is to ensure that every employee feels connected to the mission and vision and lives the values in all that they do.

Living the Values
The SCS Difference is not new, it isn’t a slogan, it is a way of life. Every employee is encouraged to embody the values in their daily tasks, interactions, and decisions. The values act as the guides to achieving the SCS Difference. Through the values we strive to provide excellent customer service, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to innovative solutions. The values direct the journey that shapes the company's path.
Looking to the future, SCS makes a commitment to maintaining a positive company culture. By focusing on creating awareness, setting clear expectations, and ensuring that the mission, vision, and values resonate with every employee, the company is well-positioned to continue its legacy of experience, integrity, and expertise.
SCS’s success is not simply measured by the number of housing units created but by the strength of its culture and the unity of its employees. United, the team will continue to build on this foundation, reach new milestones, make a positive impact on the communities served, and protect a strong legacy.
