company providing innovative solutions in defense electronics, information

advanced weapons systems and technologies. With $7.6 billion in 1999
revenues Northrop Grumman’s growth strategy is led by an experienced
leadership team and executed by a global workforce of approximately
39,000 employees.
Northrop Grumman

Sharing Our
Knowledge
Northrop Grumman
has long realized that tomorrow’s business and technology leaders are
the young people of today. From Baltimore to Los Angeles, Northrop Grumman
employees take the time to teach and inspire young people. The company
offers an extensive mentoring program that gives students valuable career
training and insights. Two educational programs are particularly notable,
but are only a fraction of the company’s total commitment to community
education.
The company’s nationally
recognized High School Involvement Partnership (HIP) provides paid internships
during the summer months to help students “learn by doing.” In addition
to HIP, another innovative educational outreach effort is the IEEE-developed
Discover “E” program, aimed at encouraging middle and high school students
to consider engineering and math-related career fields.
Embracing People
The company’s successes
are due in large part to the outstanding quality of its people who design,
develop and produce systems critical to protecting our cherished freedoms.
Northrop Grumman is a stronger company today because of its diverse
workforce, projects and experiences.
The company emphasizes
numerous diversity initiatives, all aimed at keeping a sharp focus on
recruiting a diverse workforce. These activities include strong support
for Northrop Grumman’s affirmative action and equal employment opportunity
(EEO) program; continuing diversity and EEO awareness and training;
and mentoring programs and diversity teams at its three sectors.
Company employees
treat each other with respect, recognizing the significant contributions
that come from the diversity of individuals and ideas. Northrop Grumman
creates an environment of teamwork, openness, challenge and development.
“To remain among
the best in the world at what we do, we must operate collectively to
the highest possible standard,” said Kent Kresa, Northrop Grumman chairman,
president and chief executive officer. “That’s why we define diversity
at Northrop Grumman as full utilization of our people at all levels
of the company. We must use our inherent diversity as a competitive
advantage. In order to be competitive in today’s global marketplace,
each employee must look for appropriate ways to take advantage of our
diversity in serving our customers and shareholders.”
“I want employees
to make full use of our diversity in accomplishing our goals,” he continued,
“because without everyone’s efforts our goals are more difficult to
achieve. Diversity is no longer an optional activity, but a business
necessity.”
