Why It’s on the List
The defense contractor moves up this year as its diversity-management efforts pay off in terms of creating an inclusive workplace culture and improved human-capital results. At this company, the commitment from the top is very strong. Chairman and CEO Clay Jones is a very visible D&I leader, chairing the executive diversity council, and he holds senior executives responsible for also being D&I leaders and for reaching goals. He meets regularly with resource groups and has been instrumental in creating and supporting community diversity efforts. All of his direct reports are executive sponsors of resource groups. The company uses diversity scorecards to assess goals, measuring human-capital and supplier-diversity progress as well as developmental moves, mentoring, retention, and leadership diversity training and engagement. The company has eight resource groups, which are available to all employees. They include groups for veterans, new hires, LGBT employees and people with disabilities. Rockwell Collins has also improved its supplier-diversity initiative. The company requires Tier II (subcontractor) diversity. Procurement-management compensation is tied to supplier-diversity results, and the company provides mentoring, training and financial education for suppliers. |
