Reaffirmation of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policies
Northrop Grumman is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that recognizes and values the inherent worth and dignity of every person; fosters tolerance, sensitivity, understanding and mutual respect among its team members; and encourages each individual to strive to reach his or her own potential. In pursuit of becoming the industry’s employer of choice, Northrop Grumman seeks to develop and nurture its diversity. The company believes that diversity among its workforce strengthens the organization, stimulates creativity, promotes the exchange of ideas and enriches the work lives of all employees.
To ensure the success of our Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action (EEO/AA) efforts, Northrop Grumman continues to undertake actions where all persons have equal access to employment opportunities:
- As an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, Northrop Grumman provides equal employment opportunity to all employees and applicants without regard to ethnicity, race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, parental status, ancestry, disability, gender identity, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected status.
- As a federal government contractor, Northrop Grumman is required to annually develop written Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) that address the employment and career advancement of qualified women, minorities, veterans and individuals with disabilities.
- Vice President of Corporate Responsibility Sandra Evers-Manly is responsible for the overall direction of our EEO/AA compliance programs. Management of these programs has been delegated to Sylvester Mendoza, Director of Diversity & Inclusion and EEO Compliance, and questions regarding our Diversity and Inclusion Program, EEO/AA policy or AAPs may be directed to him (sylvester.mendoza@ngc.com).
- Northrop Grumman is committed to providing a work environment free of harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation. The company will not tolerate any form of illegal harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation in the workplace, and will hold accountable employees who violate this policy.
