Creating a Family-Focused Culture That Overcomes Misconceptions & Supports Growth
In their shift to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), McElroy Metal was also growing rapidly. With this pace of change came several challenges, as well as opportunities to do more and give back to their team members—the entire McElroy Metal family—who were directly responsible for the company’s success. A new learning approach was just what they needed to capture vital knowledge as veteran employees began to retire, while breaking down common misconceptions about the manufacturing industry that made it difficult to engage the next generation of team members. Their ultimate goal? To create a comprehensive, confidence-building experience that supports this family from their first day to their last.
To build a foundation for their new program and achieve scale, McElroy Metal needed a partner with expertise in L&D and innovative technologies.

A Visionary Partnership: AllenComm & McElroy
“So those are some things that are challenging, I feel like, in manufacturing. But we have partnered with AllenComm to help us understand some of those ways that we can do that. We probably are thinking a little bit outside of the box than we’re normally used to thinking. I kind of joked with the team as we’ve been through this, we manufacture, we make products, we don’t do technology. That’s not what our forte is. We knew we needed somebody to help us with that.”
