Lexicon, Inc. honors 37 longtime employees – each of whom have dedicated 20 years of their career to Lexicon – during an annual awards luncheon at Lexicon’s Port of Little Rock Headquarters. Each 20-year employee received a $10,000, all-taxes-paid bonus check and commemorative steel I-beam trophy.
Since Lexicon founder the late Tom Schueck established the 20-Year Incentive Program in 2002, the company has awarded approximately $5 million in bonuses to those team members reaching this career milestone.
“Recognizing our largest class of 20-year employees is an incredible moment for Lexicon,” said CEO Patrick Schueck. “These are the people who have helped build this company, passed their knowledge on to the next generation and stood by us through both challenges and successes. My dad started this tradition because he believed loyalty and hard work deserved to be recognized in a meaningful way. I’m proud to continue that commitment and celebrate the employee-owners who make Lexicon what it is today.”
The company also celebrated three employees marking 35 years of service: Mike Colvin, director of technical services at Prospect Steel; Robert Johnson, vice president of pre-construction and project management for Lexicon Industrial Constructors; and John Metzger, vice president of Industrial Maintenance. The luncheon welcomed nearly 400 team members, friends and family to celebrate the honorees’ achievements.
In addition to service awards, Lexicon presented its annual “Good Catch” awards, which recognize employees who identify and report potential safety hazards before they become incidents. This year’s recipients were Andrew Hampton, of Lexicon Industrial Maintenance, Jake Hasley and Todd Turley, both of Lexicon Fabrication Group. Each recipient received a $2,500 award for their vigilance and commitment to safety.
“Safety is everyone’s responsibility at Lexicon, and our Good Catch program recognizes employees who take that responsibility seriously,” said Vice President of Safety Weldon Mann. “Andrew, Jake and Todd saw potential hazards and took action before someone could get hurt. That kind of awareness and willingness to speak up helps protect their coworkers and strengthens our culture of safety across the company.”
